Once again it's been forever since I've posted! And I got a suspicious email today wondering if our house has bathrooms? Jim said I should respond and say that you'll just have to wait and see when you're here in June, Aunt Judy!! :) Well, of course it has bathrooms. Do you think I'd buy a house with an outhouse? hahaha. Here's the pictures of two of the bathrooms. I did not get a picture of the 1/2 bath that is off of the kitchen. First two pictures are the master bath and the third is the bathroom upstairs. The upstairs bathroom is in between the two bedrooms, but all that is in it is the shower/tub, shelves and the toilet. Each of the bedrooms has its own sink just outside the bathroom door. Kindof weird. But the fourth picture is from one of the bedrooms looking into the bathroom.





























































































I might as well show you the bedrooms while we're at it, huh?
First picture is the master bedroom. Second and third pictures are bedroom #2 and fourth and fifth pictures are bedroom #3.






























































We are under 2 weeks now (13 days until closing, to be exact) and are packing every minute we can! It feels like we have a lot more to do, but I'm sure we'll get it all done! The moving company has been booked for March 14th so that gives us just a couple days to paint before moving. And so far, not many friends have volunteered to help with that. hahaha. No surprise there! I finally picked out the paint colors though...I think. LOL I've changed my mind too many times, so hopefully I'm happy with what I've picked!


On another note, Jim finally bowled a perfect game on the Wii. He was so excited! He only has 5 more hockey games this season so I think he's getting pretty sad about that but we've had a couple nice days where we were able to go golfing so that was nice! He had to take a picture of his score, because honestly, who would've believed him if he hadn't???? hahaha.






We're in the midst of planning a big bash for March 28th. We figured we'd have some friends over to see the new house...and so we're having a Wii Bowling party and have a guest list of almost 40! LOL Should be a bunch of fun though!
One last thing before I go. Have to give a shout out to my big brother! Today's his birthday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAN!!!
Stay tuned for pictures of the basement...I'll post those next week!

Holy cow...where has time gone??? It doesn't seem like it's been that long since I posted but I guess it has been! Sorry about that!
First things first...30 days until closing! Some days seem like they're flying by and others are going much to slowly for me! I suppose that's the way it is with anything though. I finally have started to get a good move on packing. Thank goodness! Of course there's lots more to go, but at least I have packed boxes starting to pile up! I'm hoping to get a few friends cornered this week to help me pick out the color scheme for the house...I found a towel that has the colors that I want in it, I'm just unsure of how I want to paint. So that will be fun to figure out. Alright, so the pictures of the house for today is the kitchen! We'll be getting all new stainless steel appliances for the house before we move in so that will be sooooo cool!






















































I love that the kitchen is big! Not that I like to cook...because I really don't...but I like having a big kitchen anyways!

We've been having GREAT weather lately. Last weekend it was near 70 and we went golfing on Saturday. It was pretty windy, but golfing was fun. I had some really good shots in on a few holes, so that always makes it worthwhile. :) Weather has been really nice this weekend too (70's AGAIN! We're getting spoiled). We took the dogs up to the governor's mansion for a walk...took the wrong trail and ended up walking 5 miles winding through the very muddy woods. Yuck! I did get a chance to take some great pictures of Bentley though!




















































He is getting so big! But is SUCH a puppy. Holy cow he has so much energy that he drives me nuts most of the time! Just as it was Portia's time for pictures Chase called me to see if we were watching the Red Wings game (we were DVRing it...we never watch live because we don't like to sit through commercials) so I talked to him for a bit while we finished our walk. So no pictures of Portia this time...Sorry, but Chase DOES come first. :)


One last picture to share. One of our Bridal Fair clients had a photo booth that you can rent for events. So me, Kala & Tim (another coworker/friend) had to have our time in the booth. haha. Here's our pics (definitely not my best pics, but they're fun!)
