Catching Up...

Bradley's in the fireplace, oh no!

It's been a while since our last post and since I don't see that Jay is going to be posting any new pictures, I thought I would do a little blogging and picture posting myself. In our defense, we've been a little busy... Here's some recent more general news...

2 weekends ago, we went on a short trip to Knoxville, TN and on the way back home had the misfortune of getting hit & run on the expressway. Everyone is ok, however, it has caused us a lot of "busy work" that just isn't too fun. One rental PT Crusier, and a VW Jetta later and we should have Jay's car back from being repaired later this week.

Last weekend was a lot more fun... Miles & Allie got married! Everything was beautiful. The weather, the church, the dresses, the ceremony, the reception. I can't wait to see the photographer's pictures. I could hardly believe my baby boy walked down the aisle with his cousins as the "miniature bridal party". They were so freaking cute!

Anyway... back to updating about the house. We now have a roof, a fireplace, stairs, windows, doors, wiring for cable, electric, plumbing, a shower, a garden tub & shower/tub upstairs too. All of the framing is complete.

It is BEAUTIFUL.

I love it and can't wait to move into it with Jay & Bradley.

We go to visit it basically every day after work and take walks over to it on the weekends. (Just check out the date stamps on our pictures as proof for how often we go to visit!) I try to picture in my mind what everything will look like when it's complete, but it's still a little hard to picture on the inside.

What I really look forward to the space. Living with my folks will make me appreciate the space so much more once I have it I'm sure! I feel very blessed that we have gotten to spend this time with my parents though. Each night I watch my son crawl up on his Papa's lap to give him a kiss good night, then run down to his Grammy's room, who is usually already in her bed watching tv, and he will crawl up into the bed to give her a kiss good night too. I know that my parents cherish this time they get to spend with such a loving little 2 year old. He'll probably be calling them to kiss him good night once he gets to move into what we lovingly call our

"House-A-Be"

Here are a few more pics that are a more current...

The inside of the front door. No door knob yet...

Bradley admiring the big garden tub in the master bathroom.

A nice view from the street... Flora Springs Circle!

And a nice view of the back of the house. There is an open lot on the street behind us.

It makes a good spot to take pictures of the house. Anyone interested in building?

Electrical Breaker Box in the basement. Nothing in it yet though...

Jay is a little excited about his new bathtub. Can you tell?

Jay looking out Bradley's room's dormer window.

Bradley's room is the bonus room above the garage. It's huge!

How nice will our Christmas tree look in it?
