He Made It

Still need water in it and the electrical switched to a 220, but Rusty made it home safe and sound.  This was a tough move!  Thanks to friends and family for all their help!  It is a lot bigger than I remember it being.

Proof that I STILL have to paint the back of the house too!  I'll get on that when I can soak in my hot tub afterwards.  :o)

Amazement

.

No matter how much you dislike spiders, the sheer magic of seeing one dance in the sky on what looks like nothing, then view the masterpiece in the morning before it is whisked away only to return the next night to do it all over again. The extreme amount of work that goes into it. Remember, they are ALL God's creatures

Busy Girl

Wow, so I need to catch up on "Girls Weekend 2010" and our trip to Oklahoma this past weekend for the Fantasy Football Draft for Rusty and for my early birthday celebration with my Dad, complete with cake and all.  BEFORE I can blog, I have a very important test on Friday and I get to do NOTHING but study this week.

So, until then have a great week!

For Becca

Ok, I finally got to talk to Becca tonight!!!!  A quick blog for her because my previous pic was a little dark so here is another comparison.  Becca...me and you got to get together!!!

This picture is before we even got to move in.

Next is an after taken today.  Plants are looking horrid due to weather (and us being gone a lot and not able to water much).  Either way.........we LOVE it!  Now if the grass would grow where we did our landscaping.

Here is a picture of the landscaping that was done around the tree and mailbox.  I don't have much of a before so you'll just have to wing it!

This area was edged in that red edging and all filled in with rock.  It was horrible.

Waited a year for these changes!  Can't wait to tackle the garage and then the kitchen!  I'm off for a 3 night girls trip!  See ya!

Hello

Once again, I haven't blogged when lots has happened.  Well, lots for us.

I went out this weekend for a bachelorette party and actually went to a bar.  Been a while since I had been dancing and I sure do miss it.  We had a great time and there are pics to come.

This weekend I have a girls trip coming up and we are heading to the lake.  Gonna have so much fun!

I need to post a better picture of the house comparison.  I noticed the "after" is dark and it's been clicked on a couple of times...so for those looking closer I'll update soon.  Yeah, soon I say but we'll see!

So, it's been a while!!  You are in for a long, long blog (as in length) of pictures!  Above was the 4th of July.  We went up on the roof and watched all the different shows.  Even Marley came with!  It was gorgeous weather for it.

Here is a body pillow case that I made.  We have no pattern in our bedroom and our duvet cover, bed skirt and curtains are all chocolate brown.  So, I added a splash of color!  I am looking to do scarves for the windows but the fabric is kind of expensive!  I don't think Rusty is too keen with the fabric but I LIKE it!

Rusty and I headed to Colorado this last weekend for a small getaway.  Well, the Cubs were there and that was our main reason! LOL  The mountains were beautiful as always but it was a little cloudy as you will see below.

This is me touching clouds......literally.  It was awesome!

This is how cloudy it was.  Rusty's window was down and this is what you could see!  Made the trek up the mountain a lot more difficult especially with NO guard rails!

Me with my "head in the clouds".  Again, LITERALLY.  The air was so thin up there and it was so cold!

My handsome guy with mountain goats in the back ground.  They walked right up to him close enough for him to touch but he didn't.

He just smiled nicely at them.  :o)

So, I didn't know these were up in the mountains???

43 degrees at an elevation of 14,191 feet!!  Heck of a lot better than the 100 plus here in Hays!

This was not even the most obscured spot!  There were times it was pretty scary!

He was very pretty.  We saw two right next to each other.

Where'd you get your tattoo??  That Scary Place.  Bahahahaha!!  I thought this was pretty funny.

Damn, and I forgot my prescription!  This was a first for me.  We actual saw two.

I am a firm believer after seeing this monkey play with his "thingy" in front of everyone that men really are direct descendants of apes! I honestly think he and the other one had just gotten finished doing their thing.  This was at the Denver Zoo.

This giraffe just stood there licking the same spot on the wall over and over.

Ok, we know what happens to womens boobies when they get old.  Now we all know what happens to camels humps!!!  Again......hilarious!

After the zoo and too much walking, we headed to Coors Field for the Rockies/Cubbies game.  Beautiful night for a game!

This is bliss for me.  Seeing my baby at a major league baseball field doing what he loves.  Even better, I'm right there next to him.  Of course, the Cubs didn't win but we aren't bandwagon fans.  Die hard fans is what we are.

This is what Marley did when we got home.  I have no doubt she enjoyed her time with Aunt Renee checking in on her and so forth, but she just completely relaxed and zonked out!!  Our poor baby girl!

Daddy spent some money on Bubba to try and get him to chill out at night.  This is the "Kitty City" we got this weekend.  You can add different pieces to it.  The bottom is a little hidey area.  We are going to get a couple more pieces for it.  He loves it and Marley even uses it too!  Silly girl.


Last but not least......we completed most of the projects for the house that we are going to do this year I believe so after much waiting......here is what we accomplished.  It looks completely different and I love it every time I pull up to the driveway.  You can't really tell the landscaping we did around the tree and the mailbox but the grass is still growing in there anyway.  Can't wait for next spring to get my plants in sooner and have them last longer!

Slacker!

I'm such a slacker.  I so need to do a blog.  I have lots of pics.  We had a trip to Denver and lots of other happenings here and there.  BUT, it's not going to happen tonight either!  It is only 9:40 but I'm going to go get in my luxurious, comfy bed!

So Happy Together....
