Day 2

Me one year ago - Actually this was on January 30th but I think that is close enough! This is me standing on our front porch. =)

Workin' on the Patio

We decided to buy cement pavers and create our own back patio. In just a few hours, Rick doubled the size of what was existing.

Someday we will pour cement and put on a cover but until then I have my big stud putting in a patio for me.

When I came home from work tonight there was another row added.

The Lounge

You know the beginning of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets when the Dursleys are preparing for Uncle Vernon's boss to visit and Aunt Petunia is practicing welcoming them to the lounge...so yeah, you can picture me doing that as you walk into our home.

Here in Utah this is where you meet with your home and visiting teachers. I don't have enough chairs though so they better not come over. And ESPECIALLY not this Sunday because as we discussed, I have a race to watch this week. (I wonder how many blogs I would have with NASCAR tagged if I actually tagged all my blogs...)

The one and only picture that has been hung. It was easy to know where this one should go.

My knick knack table...I will save the explanations for another blog cause there is some pretty cool stuff on there. Then there is the other side of the wall. That is where the grand piano goes. It is living at my mom's right now. I think if I leave it empty and she visits enough it will bug her that I don't have furniture in there and I can get it before she dies. That is the plan.

The Family Room

We have stupid lights throughout the house. One of the first things the Dood wanted to do was change the family room one. We rarely turn it on but he didn't want to see the stupid mushroom one any more so we have this cool one from Ikea. This is the view from the kitchen.

The striped chair was Rick's mom's. It is SO comfy.

Yes I am watching NASCAR on a Friday night while I am home alone. It can be louder that way. ;) One of the first things I did the day we moved in was get the tv and sound system set up. The first race since moving here was a Saturday night race and we were at the ReAl Match so we didn't watch it live, which means most of it was watched on fast forward. Last week the race was rained out and ran on Monday. Again I missed out. This weekend is Dega. That's right, Tallegada. One of the greatest races of the season and I am hoping even better now that the wing is gone and they are back to a spoiler and bump drafting is allowed...but I am not talking about NASCAR on THIS blog. Ok maybe I am cause in the end it means this Sunday afternoon, if the house is a rockin' you can come knockin but I sure won't hear you over the tv.

The couch gets so lonely while Rick is as work. Sometimes I have to baby sit it and make sure it doesn't float away.

Busy

Been a little busy lately. You know that house thing...yeah we are almost there. Gonna have lots to update next week...Comcast is coming out Thursday to get me all hooked up!
Oh yeah, had a birthday too. Good times baby Good times.
