progress.

well my friends, i'm happy to tell you that we have officially assembled furniture. did it take us two days? yes. did we have to take it apart and restart more than a few times? yes. is there a little mess up on it? yes.  but that's just life, and you know what? we like it like that. it was an accomplishment to say the least, and after a good night's sleep after night one...we were ready to conquer that furniture! i'm REALLY excited about it, and attached are the pictures so you can enjoy see our handy work! i wish i had thought to take a picture of all the pieces separately, but of course, i didn't think of that til more than halfway through.

i'm such a DUDE.

hard at work or hardly workin?

what else is new? we hung up a clock. i can't even TELL you how wall decor makes things so homey! we have a cute little fireplace and so we put the clock right above that. it's pretty much the only thing we can hang, and we're lucky it worked because we found out that underneath that wall is BRICK. so not very much luck putting wall decor up on that wall which is bothersome! i'm excited to decorate the mantle above my fireplace too. i will take pictures as i begin that little journey. maddie got me a cute "HAPPY" sign that is just perfect...so that will definitely be the center.

the most exciting thing about making our house a home is really the simple fact that i get to share it with zach. sometimes i sit and reflect at all God has done for me in bringing zach into my life, and i get overwhelmed. he is the most patient, kind, caring, gentle, fun, humble and perfect man for me. he loves Jesus and he loves me. i am so excited to begin a family with him in our first home, which is why i want to make our home so perfect. i know we are going to love it no matter what! :)

in more news, i have to share with you our newest purchase for the living room. a tv. :) now you know this tv is essential for zach and i's love of football and parenthood and biggest loser! i am mostly excited for fall to come, and to be able to have friends over for BRONCOS games, even though zach will want to see the cowboys games. lame! either way, i am SUPER excited!

my mom is coming on monday to bring our couches! i am so excited to see her, my aunt and grammy because they are coming with. it'll be a special day-late mother's day celebration as well. PLUS, we will officially have furniture in one room! hurray! life is getting so exciting.

this weekend allison is coming to visit! i am SO excited!!! she makes me happy. i also take bridal pictures this weekend, so hopefully i can get everything together by saturday. i am nervous, but excited. the next three weekends are all wedding festivities! i have a feeling things are going to be BUSY from now until the wedding. jamaica will be so nice afterwards! :)

the finished product! hurray!

HAVE A GOOD DAY!
