MARS

Still no pictures of the house but we did do an install on a new sign that I designed tonight!  Looks pretty darn good don't you think?  I must add...it's really nice having a tall and handy husband :)  I don't know what I'd do without him!

Beautiful Barn

Another week of working but not much to show!  The clawfoot tub is installed...just need to connect the cold water from the basement. (need to install the water spigot for outside under the sunroom before we can do that though).  Maybe next week we'll have some more pics of the house, but in the mean time I'll show you this shot.  I had to take my truck in for a little work today and drove past one of my all time favorite barns.  Isn't it just beautiful?

 

Stay tuned for more DIY'ing!

Oh, July!

July has been quite the month for us.  No major visible progress on the house, just small things like caulking for hours and painting trim, etc.  All of the finishing touches that we need to make upstairs.  Not much picture worthy anyway.  So...in lieu of house pics....here's a little video from today!

 

We had this little bugger on the back porch.  Raccoons are so rotten!

We live in the country so we see them all the time, but I've never had one act quite like this one!

Party Time!

Yesterday we celebrated an upcoming wedding!  Jeff & Sidney's wedding will be here soon!  We had the bridal shower in the afternoon and then the bachelor/bachelorette party was after that - celebrated just like a big party.  It was quite nice I must say :)  Couldn't have asked for better weather that's for sure!  We didn't even get home until after 2:30 in the morning!!!

Congratulations you two!  Wishing you a long and happy life together!

What a pretty setting!

Now it isn't a party until you bring out the big guns....and I mean BIG GUNS!!

Here are Kade and I shooting a 50 caliber sniper rifle!

(yes, that's me in my dress!)

I'm so glad Kade got in on the action...he wasn't really feeling it at first!

A great time was had by all.

The guys stayed up and shot skeet by spotlight until 1:30 IN THE MORNING!!
(sorry neighbors!)  They had so much fun though!
