Blogaholic. Just not my own blog...

Here lately I've been addicted to reading a few other blogs.  During this obesession I remembered, "hey, I have one of those too".  At this point I haven't shared my blog with anyone, but still want to keep up on it for my own journaling purposes(aka sucky memory).  Someday, when my life is a little more exciting (insert kids here), I'll open this blog up and tell the world about it! 

We are all married off!  Everything went great!  We had our small ceremony on my parents back deck.  Parents, grandparents, siblings and the judge.  Phil and I were in our jeans and didn't have to worry about Phil passing out from being in front of too many people. The next day was our reception.  The food was amazing BBQ, the cake was perfect and tasted perfect, my photographer was FREE and awesome (good friend of mine), the music was good and the beer was good!  What a nice, relaxing way to marry your best friend. 

Our house remodel is moving right along.  We have finished the master bedroom and it's my favorite room in the house so far!  The ceiling shelf, recessed ceiling, whatever you want to call it-adds such a nice touch.  I also loooove the gray walls.  Yep, I said gray.  We bought a closet organizer system and realized once it was all put together and screwed to the walls, that we hardly have any room for hangy-up clothes.  Dern!  We have been working outside when we can-the temps have been over 100 degrees for WEEKS now.  We gathered up limestone rock from a friends' pasture and built flower beds.  Our house is almost 100 years old and we're trying not to make it too modern looking.  We also got the kitchen tile done and it looks amazing!  We (okay, it was mostly Phil) made a tile "rug" pattern in the middle.  Our next project will be the living room.  This is our biggest room so it will take some time.  We're also putting a wood stove in this room so that's a project in itself.  We're trying to decide on a stove and what material the back-drop will be (I vote for stone). 

More exciting news:  I got a new car!!!  Yes, the 13 year old Honda finally gets a breather.  Yolanda the Honda was good to me.  She just needed a nap.  Her windows didn't always roll back up, her seats were starting to rip, her A/C didn't work at stop lights, and her exhaust was exhausted.  We bought a 2007 Honda Accord.  It's bright white and I just can't stop looking at it.  The A/C on this girl will blow you out of your seat!

Annnnd I'm done!
