Please feel free to look at the pictures below still...and some people are mixing up our new colors and the old colors...our colors are the khaki greens, tans and deep brown/reddish...NOT the red curtains, red walls, yellow and brown kitchen... FYI.

Also, another FYI people...you see on the top of my website there is a "photo" button you can push....Well, you all can add as many pictures as you want to your site too. And those pics will always stay there...so please, follow my lead and add a few pictures to your own site other than the one in the top left corner....its fun. and everyone loves pictures.

Finally, I am officially an Illinois Resident. I have never been one before since Im from Wisconsin. They made me take a written exam. I failed. WHO REMEMBERS THE SIGNS??? I mean, seriously, a yellow circle??? What is that??? Well, its a railroad crossing. And that stupid yellow flag shaped one? The No Passing Zone????!?!?! What? And of course, there is that dumb red circle with the white line through it....Do Not Enter? COME ON PEOPLE! WHEN AM I EVER GOING TO SEE A BLANK SIGN???? ALL OF THE SIGNS HAVE WORDS ON THEM AND THAT IS WHAT I READ...NOT THE COLOR OR SHAPE!!!

But, the nice young boy let me re-take it and I passed...still got two wrong...

Driving Tests are Dumb...and so is my license..Its so nice to know that for the next ten years, I will have a picture with my left eye half shut. Very pretty.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!

A few "Before and Afters" 

The Living Room/Dining Room "Before"

The Living Room / Dining Room "AFTER!"

The Kitchen "Before"

The Kitchen "AFTER!"   - The color is a deep espresso bean...SO RICH! We love it!

The room you are looking at (above) is kind of a "Random" room right now...it is an addition and it has its own set of sliding doors to the patio.....you can see the top half of the fake fireplace...kind of strange...and notice the chair...its not going to stay there...its just the only place it fits right now....eek!!!

I LOVE these curtains! They match perfectly!!

Now onto our Bedroom "Before"   (Our bedroom is quite the humble room...meaning SMALL!!!!) The picture below is mostly of our closet...notice the mirrored sliding door and closet organizer....

That thing in the corner of the wall is a tv holder thing....Scott tore it down and re-did the wall! Hes so studly....

And now to the Bedroom AFTER!!!!

Scott took out the old closet organizer and built this new one in!!! He did SUCH A GREAT JOB!!!! There is sooo much space now!

Ok Now to a few random pics.... The one below is what you see when you walk into the house!

We used these candle sconces at our wedding...and now they are in our dining room... going for an elegant look in there....all of the picture frames are sepia pics from our wedding.....awwww :)

The view from our upstairs! To the right is a little "nook" and if you were looking up, you would see two skylights! Very Bright and Sunny!

This is the hallway to the two upstairs bedrooms

This is the "Buzz Lightyear" Room...we took down all of the Buzz stuff...and now it is our computer room/office....But, I LOVE the window!!! I cant wait to put a christmas tree there!!

Our basement...SCARY! That is all you get to see cuz I didnt want to go down there...Not a fan of basements!

Our Patio Furniture!!!!!!! Thats the top half of our patio....the other side has some plants and our grill!!!

This is just a picture of the living room/dining room again...I just LOVE the big windows!!! (And that red curtain is no longer there...its a cute white one now!)

So people!!! That is our house!! I didnt take pics of our bathroom....or the second bedroom.. But, you get the jist of it!!!!

What do you think?!?!?!?!?! 

10 Things About Me That I Have Never Wanted To Admit. But Its Time.

1) I was the one who chose the name "Lady Asia Morningsage" for our golden retriever when I was 4. Ok, I was 12.  I was going through my "I dont know who I am, must be different and cool and apparantly very strange" stage. Needless to say, we changed it to Aysha.

2) I always make fun of the little girls who have scraggly hair and are the ones up all night farting in their sleeping bag at sleep-overs. But, that little girl was me.

3) Oh, and I fake talked in my sleep at those parties...but always with my face into the pillow so people couldnt see me smiling.   This is hard to admit....

4) Sophomore year, I was on the soccer team at school and had to quit because I "Burned a whole into my foot from medicine" and had to be on crutches. It was a planters wart people. Just a planters wart.

5) My first year playing volleyball (7th grade), I told my coach I had a problem. I had a small bladder and couldnt hold in my pee. And so everytime she would call me to put me in, I would get nervous that I would goof up and tell her I had to pee. But I didnt have a peeing problem. I would just go into the gym bathroom and sit on the stall for a little bit.

6) I used to wear my moms old silk pajamas to bed. And an old robe.

7) After watching "The Never Ending Story" a million times, I used to sit in a chair in the formal living room and put the lace curtains around me and put a necklace on my head so the pendant was in the middle of my forehead and pretend I was the princess.

8) Oh gosh. When I was YOUNGer, my grandma was babysitting all of us kids and I had to wear her underwear. Because I pooped my pants. I never told her but she has to know because I threw my soiled underwear behind her washing machine. Oh gosh.

9) While babysitting the neighbor kids growing up, I would listen to SWV (Sisters with Voices) and Mariah Carey's Music Box and slow dance with a dresser when the kids were napping.

10) I was "SBF"  (Secret Best Friends) with a girl at my church just so she would give me her Baby-Sitters Club books. But, she wasnt cool, so I made up "SBF"s so nobody would ever know that we were friends. But, in order for her to be my SBF, she had to give me a Baby Sitters Club book every Sunday at church and we couldnt talk...she could only write me letters. Im going to hell.

PICTURES

Well folks. I have TWO ROLLS OF FILMS that I want to share some pictures with you from.and I CANT FIGURE OUT THE SCANNER!!! And my husband works too much.... So, he has been gone with the whole, supporting his family and getting through college thing...which I LOVE! But, I will post as soon as I get the flippin scanner to JUST SCAN! Do what you were made to do little scanner! Scan.

- I am TOTALLY sunburnt and have three tan lines on my upper body. Why would you wear a sports bra playing tennis in the sun and than wear a spaghetti strap tank top the next time in the sun and than finish it off with a top where the straps start in the center of the top (between the boobs) and go up around the neck? I just said boobs.

Either way, I have very stange lines. But my arms and face will soon turn from tomatoe to bronze! YEAH!

- Went to a HUGE Chilis softball tournament yesterday and had to stop myself about ten times from asking people to put out their cigarettes and telling people to stop cussing....its just the Cross Current camp counselor in me trying to come out again. Its all I know, people. Its all I know.

- I have been consistently running and am finally back up to four miles! I hate running when Im not doing it, but love it when I actually start again! Although, Reggie is my greatest obstacle because he likes to run ahead of me and than turn around and run at me...its a great game for him. Deadly for me.

- PICTURES COMING SOON! MAYBE TONIGHT! :)
