Sometimes I shouldn’t be allowed to help with things…

Published by

So Danny has been going around the house fixing all of our blinds. They were reminiscent of this (or this or this). lol The’re the basic white blinds you can get at any home store for cheap… so yes, nothing crazy to replace, but he decided to go ahead and fix them since the renters hadn’t shortened any of them to fit the windows so they had plenty of extra rails (I feel like I’m not explaining this very well… this is what I’m talking about) lol so anyway… the other day, he fixed one of the ones in the bedroom and then the pups ran in there and messed up what he’d just fixed and he got frustrated. That’s how they all got messed up in the first place — pups love to look out windows :/ So after he fixed the nice big window downstairs, I was like “you should really pull up the shade so they can’t mess it up after you put in all that time to fix it.” Here I …

I keep seeing them everywhere and they are so adorable! Also came across the Perfect Pattern Parcel #6 from Lindsay’s last post… check! purchased! :) I’ve been eyeing both the Hudson Pant and the Julia Cardigan for a while, so this is the perfect opportunity! Also learned that Love at First Stitch is now available to order in the U.S. I will definitely be purchasing as soon as we’re in the new house… and/or putting it on my Christmas list :) we’ll see… Only 2 more weeks in Wyoming! Said goodbye to our stuff this week! See you on the flipside, boxes! :) The above picture plus an air mattress is the extent of our furniture right now :/ Finn was very  upset about the whole situation… but as you can see Zoe …

Rental Property: PROGRESS (Exterior)

Published by

Remember the before pictures??? This is my parents’ rental house that I’ll soon be living in. When I was home the other weekend, I got to stop by and see the progress. It’s definitely coming along nicely! :) Here are a few pictures of the progress around the exterior of the house. There used to be a huge tree out front. The tree was already removed when my parents got the house, but the driveway (and the garage) had been completely destroyed by the roots. Luckily, my dad is retired and has a tractor… and skills. They tore everything up, then extended the width of the driveway, adding a nice “brick” detailing along the edge and also extended the concrete around to the side door. Oh my goodness, don’t you think it turned out so nice!? I think so! Oh, and as you can see they cleaned up and painted the house!   In the back, they extended the concrete to make room for the puppy kennel. Right now, my dad is working on fencing in the …

Okay okay… I gotta take a quick minute and share my friend Taylor’s music video. She is one of the sweetest and smartest people I know (graduated in the top of our pharmacy class!)… she’s also beautiful and super talented and following her dreams in the music world. She just came out with her first music video. Check it out: Find more about Taylor here. So they packed up our house today! We’ll be living in a sea of boxes until next week when we’ll be living very minimally :/ The pups went to doggie daycare today while the packing guys were here. When we picked them up, they were separated from all the other dogs. The girl working said Zoe was a little grumpy with a few of the dogs. She said that she seems to choose the older, overweight dogs to be friends with and is grumpy with the rest of them. lol oh dear… my sweet little baby. I’m just crossing my fingers that she gets along with all of her new puppy …
