floods and other frenzy

Well folks, life has gone a bit haywire since I wrote last, but we're still chuggin' along. Let's see, where to even begin? Well I guess I should start with explaining the title, which is actually sort of self explanatory huh?

Okay so, yes...a flood. We did have a little mishap with the washer and dryer installation. :) I guess you live and learn, right? I wasn't present when this catastrophe set in, however I did get a pretty humorous (NOT at the time...) phone call from Zach.

"Hey Babe, sooo....there's a little bit of a mess over here..."
"What kind of mess, Zach?"
"Our washing machine hose got disconnected, so...yeah..."
"Is there a flood?"
"Yep."

the crime scene.

Lovely, huh? Anyway, he was good at taking care of all that, he went straight to his Dad's to get a shop vac, and he lifted the carpets and I would be happy to announce that today is probably our last day of blowing a fan on it! :) We are going to Home Depot tonight to get something that removes mildewy smells or something like that. Gross, right? Not to mention, candles have been our friend today.

Speaking of wet things, we got our couches yesterday! My darling mother and aunt drove all the way to Utah JUST to deliver these couches. It's great but rain seeped through the tarp because those Wyoming winds are just so strong, and they got rained on pretty much the whole way here! Good thing they're leather! So we got them in the house and dried them like crazy and it's not so bad!! Our living room finally is starting to look like a living room! We have a cute rug, and these brown leather couches...now we get to add the pretty things like coffee table decor, lamp shades, and pretty drapes to match the rug! EXCITING!

the start of our living room! still need lamp shades :)

I also am adding a picture of our little fire place mantle decoration which is fun, but we're not done. I will probably change this a million times, so if you have ideas, share them please! I'm excited to see what little things I can put on the mantle to make it look great. The happy sign is perfect though, so thank you Maddie!!!

our desk...with a paint can as our chair.
its on our list!

AND since I've written last, Zach has built us a lovely desk to begin our little "Office" section of the house. We decided last night to buy some shelves to organize things like bills, mail, financial papers, receipts, manuals. Things we need! I'm so excited, I think this managing a home thing is riiiight up my alley.

At this moment, my fiance is making a delicious dinner for us and I am drinking a nice glass of nothing but the best...Franzia wine. :) We are going to shop for bedroom furniture after this, and I think after that there will be a little bit of relaxation! I have a bridal shower in Utah this weekend which I am excited for, and a Bridal shower in Colorado the NEXT weekend. Busy busy, but we sure are blessed! Well, dinner is ready so I better say bye! Thanks for reading. :)
