Hold on, weren't you supposed to get your appliances yesterday, on Saturday?, you might ask yourself. Why yes we were! Kick back and listen to this whopper of a story. So we … [Read more...]

Well, we are all moved in! Except for a few random things still at my inlaws that we have to get, our stuff and our lives are now in Gilroy! Even Ally came down last night. We had thought about bringing her down today or Saturday, but I missed her. Rory surprised me by bringing her down last night on the last load! yay! She's doing pretty good, she … [Read more...]

I took this video yesterday while I was lazing about watching TV. The baby just wouldn't sit still! Hopefully you can see how much she's moving around... if not, just trust me, she was going at it. So...had some contractions Monday while we were moving stuff down to the house. They hurt a bit. haha. Nothing steady or long though, and they stopped. … [Read more...]
Pregnant woman vs. moving…who will triumph?

I went for my weekly doctor's appointment this morning, and she said I was 1 centimeter dilated but with no effacement. So...something's happening! She was surprised that I was dilated at all because I told her I hadn't had too many contractions. Just once in awhile and not for very long either. Anyways, this doesn't really mean much...I could go … [Read more...]

Hi there everyone! Welcome to a smorgasbord (sp?) of information. Yesterday Rory and my dad attached the plywood to the cabinets for the base for the counter tops, and it looks good! They also filled in a gap that we had because of our window placement (don't get me started), and after tonight we're gonna be all ready to get the counter tops … [Read more...]
laundry is fun!
July 14, 2008 By 2 Comments
Being unable to help with a lot of the *hard* work on the house has given me time to think about how I want to decorate, etc. I think I have most of the rooms worked out in my head (again, lots of time), and here are some cute ideas I found for our laundry room. (which we haven't touched at all) loving the stripes here...it might be too much work … [Read more...]
Today’s update

Ohh, I am too tired to think of a clever title today! Rory would most definitely agree. Well, the floors are (almost) officially done! Just a little trim here and there and they will be complete. Right now they are completely dusty! Oh well. Today was a hodge podge of projects, the biggest being the plywood for underneath our counter tops. We went … [Read more...]

Thought you might like some of the not so nice pictures of our home redo. It gets dusty! The hall of 8...no 10 closet doors. (two are hiding behind the camera) Our 3rd can of red vines. It's how we keep my dad coming to help! Our ugly nasty pile of carpet. Waiting for the carpet guys to come and get it....we're waiting carpet guys.... Our … [Read more...]

...and it's true. It's the big project going on right now, so what do you expect? lol. More progress was made on the wood floors last night. Besides a setback with the cabinets, it was pretty smooth sailing so I'm told. I kicked back and read a book. I'm under a strict "don't do anything that will stress you out" rule from Rory. Of course, that … [Read more...]
