I am so sorry that I pretty much took a year off from blogging. Last year, we were trying so hard in the spring to get a house. Tons of paperwork, appointments, inspections, making offers and we lost the bidding on several houses. My life was too hectic and stressful to blog. In June, however, we found a major fixer-upper and got it for next to nothing. We love this house so much! We have also chosen to live here while we remodel. Not the best idea, I admit. This now makes me a full time remodeler. I am just trying to stay one step ahead of the plumbing problems, dying furnace, leaky roof, etc.
We have lived here for 6 months now. We are getting pretty close to having the house to a comfortable stage. I plan on showing our progress soon. We are nowhere near being done but a few rooms are getting close. So again, I am sorry for the really long break. Part of my New Years Resolution is to start blogging again along with 15 other things.
Also, I want the blog to get back to what it was intended for. I am not going to be doing DIY post anymore. They are very time consuming so I would just keep putting them off. I just want this blog to be my everyday life so my family can see what I am up to in Colorado. I know that I will lose a lot of followers, but this is just how it has to be.
He Is So Sweet
Brett brought these home for me this week. I love him so much.
Thank you honey for putting up with me all the time. You treat me like a queen. I love you.
Strawberry & Chocolate Nachos
I was picking strawberries again today and remembered this post from Our Best Bites. It sounded really tasty so I gave it a whirl. I even made the cinnamon sugar chips. If only I had whipped cream. I will be making this again! Yummy!
Mmmmmmmm.....
Nothing is better than fresh picked strawberries right out of your back yard.
Pure happiness.
Recap
Since I last posted a lot has happened. I had the flu for a week, my husband started a new job and is still working at his old one for two more weeks, we are buying a house (again), my father-in-law got married, and we got a cat. I know a cat does not seem like a big deal, but he is a full time responsibility. He is only 10 weeks old and VERY curious.
I have a million posts that need to be published, but I hardly have the time to blog anymore. We are going to remodel every nook and cranny of our new house, from roof to floors. With me being a stay at home wife, and pretty handy with hand tools if I do say so myself, I will be doing a lot of the remodel. My father-in-law and I remodeled the house Brett and I live in now. I am kinda sad to sell it after all the hard work but I have to move on. I am actually very excited to get started on the new house.
Just for fun, these are the before and afters of our current house.
Fun Memories
I can't remember if Brett and I were dating or just best friends when we took this photo but it cracks me up. I had to share. It is a fake CD cover and T.N.G. stands for Totally Not Gangster.
Happy Mother's Day
"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us, when adversity takes the place of prosperity, when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us, when trouble thickens around us, still she will cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." - Washington Irving
My lovely mother when she was expecting me.
