Now it feels like Home

I finally used my oven for something important...baking cookies! And the good news is that it is a good oven and it worked well. Adam will tell you that the cookies were delicious. If you're lucky and come over soon, there is more dough in the fridge just waiting to be baked fresh!

Looking forward to many more Delicious things to come out of this oven soon.

Congratulations to Stephanie and Aaron

Yesterday my good friend from high school, Stephanie got married! I was honored to be a part of her special day and I had such a great time being with all my best friends from high school! I love you all!


The reception was held on the William D. Evans Steamboat at the Bahia hotel. It was a gorgeous night to be out in Mission Bay watching the fireworks!

Poor Adam had pneumonia...but he looks like he's having fun right?

Think some healing thoughts for Adam as he's been sick for a week and is ready to be healthy again!

Gardening...Huh

Today was the first day I was embarrassed by my yard. I left for work and as I was driving past the house I couldn't believe the patch of weeds that had sprung up in the front yard.

So, when I got home today I knew I had to tackle those weeds. We have a dirt patch on the lawn where we think a tree used to be and it was full of these huge weeds and mushrooms. Thankfully my mom gave me some gardening tools and so out they came.

I learned a few things about yard work today.
1. There are always more weeds than you think there are.
2. You shouldn't do yard work in your work clothes. Dresses especially, it hurts your knees.
3. Gardening gloves are on my shopping list.
4. There is always more to do.

It looks like I have a lot more gardening to do in my future...




Action shot...look how hard I'm working!

Bye Bye Bonk

Right before we moved we had to say goodbye to Bonk. It was a very difficult day and we miss him very much. He was such a special cat and we are so sad he never got to see our new house. We think about him everyday and are looking forward to adding another pet to our family again someday.

He never was very good at taking pictures, and we took about a million trying, but he did pose for a few good ones in his last few weeks.


Thank you to everyone for your support as we are going through this tough time.

Home Improvements

Even though our house really didn't need very much work (thank goodness) there were still a few things that we have been working on.

Luckily, Adam's dad knows how to fix everything, so we are in good hands.

Some of the things we've done so far:
New cabinets in the garage.
Medicine cabinet in the bathroom.
New handle on the sliding door (We did this one all by ourselves :o) )
Running cable wires through the attic and through the wall and into the living room and office

We're getting to know Home Depot.

The project I really want to get to is painting the front door red. All I've ever wanted was a house with a red front door. So...someday soon this will be the next project.

Moving Day

We moved on July 23rd (Happy birthday to Aaron and Cindy) and it was such a great day! Thank you to all the movers who helped us.

It was such a sign of being grown up when we told everyone to be there to help at 8:30am. So we expected everyone to show up about 9. And, by 8:35, everyone had arrived to help. So, we loaded the truck in just an hour!

And, with no stairs, we unloaded in just a 1/2 hour!

It was such a great day to be in our new house and all our helpful movers made it so much easier. Knowing that we don't have to move again for a long time feels so great.

Calle Caballeros

After many months of watching HGTV's House Hunters we finally decided that we were ready and started seriously looking for a house. Once we started, it all happened so fast! We looked at this house on a Wednesday, made an offer on Thursday, and it was ours on Friday. And, it was a quick escrow and soon, we had the keys!

It's three bedrooms, two bathrooms, has little backyard and a garage.

Here are some photos of our new home before we moved in and had boxes everywhere!

We have a blog!

Well, we thought when we made our wedding website that we would keep up a blog about our happenings, but we didn't. But, we did lots of cool stuff, so we hope that you heard about it all since we were not blogging about it.

But, now that we just celebrated our two year anniversary and bought a house, it's time to try to keep up on this blogging thing again.

So, stay tuned for hearing all about our new adventure as home owners.
