Wednesday

What we've been up to!

My Birthday was last month and for some reason I've never been huge on celebrating it. I kinda just treat it like any other day which I know is boring, but thats just how I am. So I went to work at the Salon and had a full day from 8-4. While I was there I had a nice surprise. Chad had some beautiful flowers delivered to me, and then later stopped by with another surprise. My favorite sugar cookies with a wedding band (since I lost my wedding ring and we cant afford to replace it right now). It's nice to have something back on my finger. 


After work we went to dinner at Outback with my Mom, my uncle Dan, Jasmine and Seager


The next day was our big day of moving so after dinner I was anxious to go home and get things ready for the big move! Thanks everyone who made it a special day!

First picture of the house!
It's been so fun moving in and getting all settled! The people before us had it painted really cute, but we repainted and carpeted just to make it feel new again. I love how the paint and carpet turned out!

I'm not completely finished with everything, but here are a couple before and after pictures!

These are just a couple rooms in the house. I've still got some decorating and putting away to do in the study and guest room. Its' been really fun and exciting and were so grateful to have a home of our own. Chad and I have worked hard to buy this all on our own with no help and we are so grateful. 
We love the area and the neighborhood, its perfect for what we need and were looking for!

Our first house warming gift from my boss at the Rec Center, Love her!

Thanks so much everyone who helped us on the day of the move, thanks to our realtor Garrett Frei, and most of all our families! We are so grateful for all your love, help and support!

I had to post this picture of Krue from his first day of school! 
He is seriously the cutest and smartest 3 year old!
I miss him so much everyday!

Speaking of Krue..My sister Madison and her husband Matt just bought a house as well, and moved in this past weekend! We are so excited for them and cant wait to come see it!

Thursday nights we get to go watch my little brother Dylan play for Desert Hills. He plays quarter back and was voted team captain and has been doing awesome! We are so proud of him!




Thats pretty much it for now! Just busy with the house and work!
