yellow brick road

We are picking out a new color for my "Oregon bathroom" today. (Quite the theme, isn't it?) Right now, it's a disturbingly bright yellow color titled, Yellow Brick Road. Jared picked it because he liked the name. Never again. Boring name and all, we will be picking something not so bright..

I can't wait to show you the "after" pictures. It might be months in the future but, someday my Oregon bathroom will be complete! :)

I am so happy and excited that today is December 1st. While driving today, I listened to my favorite Christmas songs and loved it. Mister put up the Christmas lights and tree yesterday. Now all we have to do is put the ornaments on the tree and the halls will all be decked! :) Jared overheard me say that I would like a poinsettia to put on our table and I came home to four. Yes, four poinsettias! Needless to say, our home is looking very Christmas-y.. and I love it.

Happy December. :)

house-i-versary

Sunday was our one year house-i-versary!
To celebrate, we invited the Buhler's over & they have something to celebrate as well! (they just signed on their own home + they have a new baby coming in November)
One year ago, on moving day, we had pizza and orange soda. So, that is what I made for the celebration! After dinner, we took little Oaklee to the park and had so much fun playing with her. She is sunshine. I love her, a lot.

Oh, Christmas Tree

(do you see the hearts??)

Labor Day

We did it!

We painted all day (as you can see by our stove clock, this picture was taken just past midnight) and now we finally have our yellow kitchen! (and a yellow bathroom & light blue bedroom!) I will post pictures soon!

Mi Kitchen..

p.s.

Did I mention that Jared and I are finally... Home??

:)

Take me Home, Country Road..

JT and me.. we really really really really

hope that we can call this home very very very soon.

I can't wait to: paint, decorate, arrange furniture, hang pictures, make Sunday breakfasts, organize, and make dinner for my husband.

Jared can't wait to: wash his car in the driveway, stargaze (we're quite in the middle of nowhere, I'll have you know), shop at Costco, build our food storage, and set up our TV and Ps3.
