A Random Anniversary Post

Life has been full, busy, and good. We are finally completely 
moved into the new house.  I plan on posting more pictures soon.   

Today marks our two year anniversary.  It has honestly been the best two years of my life!  I can't want for 82 more together.  A couple of weeks ago, I started recording some witty things that I have learned during the last two years in expectation of a great post.  However I didn't get much further than there is a right and wrong way to load toilet paper on the holder....so I don't guess I'll be posting that anytime soon....there's always next year. 




A couple weeks ago we went to visit Michael's uncle Gary who just moved to Maryville.  After lunch we hiked to a place called Look Rock.  It was beautiful!






I always spend the fourth of July with my good ole Jen.  It's a private joke with us.  We enjoyed watching the fireworks in Kingston.

Realizing summer will be soon over, I've been starting to update my school website for the 2010-2011 school year.  I'll end with posting this smile box I made to go on there of my family.

Moving on up!

Well it is official....we're sort of moved in.  We have been staying/sleeping here since last Saturday night.  We aren't 100% moved but are planning great things for this weekend!  And who really needs living room and dining room furniture.  Supper tastes just as good while sitting in the spare bedroom on leftover floor padding!   Here are some pictures of our beautiful hardwood. 

I took those this evening before the great trim painting marathon, which was to prepare for the great trim hanging tomorrow.
I'll post more pictures of the other rooms if I ever as soon as I get them unpacked and organized.  :)

House Update

The Bedrooms now have carpet.  This is a view of one of the spare bedrooms.



These are two different views of our bedroom.



I tried to get a picture of my Bee-utiful shower curtain but it is hard to get a good picture in the bathrooms because of the lighting.


They started laying hardwood today in the living room.



I saved the best for last.....My absolute favorite room of the house!
I'm loving the color of my dining room/kitchen.  You can even see a glimpse of my chandelier. 


Because I tend to procrastinate on the things that I should be doing

I made a second bucket sign because I wasn't completely satisfied with the first.....now I can't decide which to use!

Reason Two that I'm Still in the School Twilight Zone

Because I'm already thinking about next school year!  I painted Mr. Bucket yesterday. The inspiration is from this book:

 
It's a great program teaching kids to "fill" each others buckets (kind words, polite, etc.) as opposed to dipping from one anothers' buckets.  The only problem is my bucket looks more like a pot.  We might  be filling each others pots next year :). 


I totally snatched my idea of painting Mr. Pot/bucket from Mrs. Babbling Abby.  She rocked one last year for her classroom.
