house.

our house has a long way to go. we have hardly had anytime do do anything in it but sleep. i worked 55 hours last week and 52 the week before. work has been crazy busy. i have so many ideas and plans for this place, but lack of time is really putting a damper on my plans. hopefully sometime soon i will be able to do something to the place! we have not painted anything, or put even one hole in the wall. it's plain and simple right now, which i am fine with. but i do want to add a few things!

here are just a few pictures of the place. i took pictures of it all, but the 2 spare bedrooms just had boxes in them, and the bathrooms are sooo plain. maybe someday i can get someone on HGTV to come over and help me design everything. a girl can dream right? sean has been spending a lot of time on the yard. we are hoping to get it ready to put sod in sometime in september. we will see! anyway, here are some pictures are stats on our house for my own documentaion...

the house was built this year, 2010. we are the first people to live in it. it has 3 Bedrooms. 2.5 Bath. 2 car garage. it has a large master bedroom, with a walk in closet inside of the bathroom! i love this. our room always looks so clean. the bathroom? that is another story. but unlike our apartment before, no one will even go in there and i can shut the door to it from the bedroom. so our bedroom always looks spotless. okay that is a lie but it looks much better than it did in our old place. no clothes all over the floor. i love it.

and the most important thing? a dishwasher. and i don't care about anything else because we have a dishwasher. but we also have a little laundry area for our washer and dryer, a very open kitchen that connects to the dining area and family room. i really do love our house. we made the first mortgage payment yesterday. crazy stuff. it's nice though that it's going to our own mortgage and not someone else's. however, it's double what we were paying in rent... so yeesh.

oh and i can't forget the couch. i love the couch. we finally have a new couch that doesn't have spiders in it, or smell like animal pee. it's great, i love it!

anyway, those are just a few pictures. there is nothing else worth showing.. but maybe someday! p.s. i hardly blog anymore. i miss you all. sorry for being so MIA. :( i hope we can still be friends!

p.s. sean and i got callings in our new ward. permanent substitute primary teachers. for a growing ward with over 550 members, 4 nurseries, 100 kids in primary, and 100 more that are about to enter within the next year or two. people were freaking out with excitement and saying that they were going to treat our phone numbers like gold. it was slightly frightening when they said people would be fighting over us every week. i sat in with the sharing time on sunday... and wow. all i have to say is please pray for us. haha.
