WOW

Wow, so much has happened since my last blog. There was the wedding party hosted by Lucinda at the church on October 7. The wedding on October 27, and the honeymoon the week after that. I'm only going to put up a few pictures as I have over 1000 pics of Oct26 and Oct27 from three different sources. I'd be loading pictures for the rest of my life if I put them all on here. I'm off to organize the party blog.

Cousin Wookie's Wedding

Berkley and I flew up to Michigan over last weekend for my dad's cousin's wedding. Keep in mind that these are Michigan rednecks. Michigan rednecks are different than Florida rednecks. I don't need to explain, you will see for yourself. Don (the groom) is in the WHITE TUX!!!

They only had two people stand with them. My dad and the groom's sister in law.

These were all the "Stracks" that were at the wedding. So we had to get a picture.

From left to right: Todd (Uncle Tim's oldest), Uncle Paul (Gradma's youngest), Grandma, Mom, Me, Dad, Brandon (Uncle Tim's middle), Uncle Tim, and Grandpa!

Dollar dance with the wookie!

I had a birthday!!!

Internet setup at HOME

Well it's finally here! I have internet access setup at my house! I am so excited and will post pictures tomorrow!

Empty house

Here are the pictures of the house before we closed on it. We snuck my parents into the house because we had the code to the lock box. So here are pix of all the rooms.

This is my kitchen counter. It fills up with "stuff" very quickly as there is not much countertop space.

The fridge was not yet installed but it is now right behind me and the pantry is at the upper left corner of the picture.


This is the Family Room. To the very left, you will see our one and only sliding glass door. The window looks into the back yard and into the neighbor's lot (their house is behind ours and to the left, they own the lots directly behind us and to our left). Our tv is going in the corner between the windows.

This is the Guest Bathroom. Not very big, but big enough to take care of business!!! ;-)

This is the taken from the Family Room looking toward the breakfast nook area. The entry way is to the right, behind Berkley and Mom. The kitchen is more to the right (not shown in picture). Through the archway, you can see into my (still boring white) Scrap Room (a.k.a The Scrap Yard).

This is in the Master Bath. The shower and turlet are in a little seperate room (with a door). Sorry about the seat being up...boys!

(must have been the worker guys, we hadn't closed on the house yet).

Here is a picture of the Master Bath and in the reflection you can see the door to the turlet room. From left to right, the doorways are closet (the door is open), turlet room (door behind me), and then linen closet. To the right of the sinks is the bathtub in the corner.

Desperation

My mom and I had purchased a carton of Ben & Jerry's Half Baked Ice Cream. When we went to get it out of the freezer and serve it, I could barely dent it with the scoop.
My mom had the best idea!Miracle Blade.

Update

I will be finishing my scrap room tomorrow. I will post more pictures on Friday evening. I will also have some more pix of the house itself. I need to get them from my parents camera. Well right now, I am off to take a car load of stuff to my house and then go register for gifts.




Sara...there's your answer. Check Target tomorrow (Thursday)

Well it looks like I will be officially moving in at the end of them month. That's about the time my parents are moving and it just seemed to make more sense to not use both houses' utilities! So I am in a mad rush to get everything packed and over to the house because they are trying to get pictures taken so they can get up on the MLS site for the house. I don't want to hold up that process seeing as the house is probably going to take a little bit to sell. So, if you know anyone that wants to buy a house in Deep Creek, this is their dream house! Anyway, it's time to go to bed! I'll blog it up later! I promise soon, I will have pictures of the whole house! G'nite

Painting

It was an interesting day in my scrap room. This is the first time I've painted a room. I was all by myself with no experience. And, we have tall ceilings in all the rooms so it's not completely finished yet. This is all I have so far. When I leaned for my "initial" pose, I had leaned a little too far and got wet paint on me.

Sara's wish came true!

Well Sara...you wanted them so bad, it just so happens that I DID have some of these pictures but I refrained from posting them. The one of Berkley is the first time he used that bathroom..."since the house has been "ours." . And if you can't see, I was holding my knees! Off to pack my car to the brim and take a load to the house! (Got my paint supplies! one step closer!)

Finally

These are the "firsts" that I took yesterday. We received the keys to our house about 3:15pm on Friday, June 29, 2007! We are HOMEOWNERS! I have attached a few pictures.

Our first...

So much fun, more to come! I am painting my scrap room on Thursday! Be on the look out for pictures on Friday!

Waiting...

Thoght we'd be busy all morning packing and unpacking into our new house. But we've been to breakfast and back and we're just waiting for our realtor to call us and tell us to go pick up our keys! We don't want to load the truck cuz it looks like it might rain, so we are just sitting. Good new is, my new Memory Makers came today and now I have time to look at it. (thought I wouldn't have a chance) Well on that note, I'm going to go read! Tata

Paper signing

Well...we just signed all the papers to own our house today. The actual closing isn't until tomorrow but the title company was really busy tomorrow to have us come in and sign papers so we signed them today. After the title company gets everything filed tomorrow, they're going to call us to pick up the keys! (They said by noon we should have them) Then we will be officially homeowners!!! How exciting is that??? Yay...now that that's all done, it's time for some chicken wings, steak, and couscous! Blog at ya lata!
