Bring the Month to a Close

Once again this has been a busy month for us.

We have been doing home renovations and keeping things clean... or at least trying to.

Josh installed our new Dishwasher.

We also got new Smoke Detectors and CO2 detectors after the one upstairs went off for no reason one morning while I was in the shower and Josh slept right through it.

and the one on the main floor hasnt worked since we moved in.
however, the people that painted didnt take the smoke detectors off the wall to paint... so now we have a random colored ring around our smoke detectors... nice

And Josh has been complaining we dont have a garbage can in the kitchen, which we didnt... but we had been looking for one that was nice and we were lucky enough to find a rectangular one that fits in the house perfectly!

And we got a new washer, Thank you john for helping us carry that in! it weights a TON!


but our first load was a disaster. we ran the washer while we went for a walk, (we ran a cycle without anything in it first to make sure everything was ok) well the washer went for a walk too and pinned the laundry basket agains the wall and dug a hole in our linoleum...
turns out you have to take some bolts out in the back before running a washer...oops

and Jeremy and Lisa have sold their house
which is great! They were nice enough to give us their dining room table and Chairs.

complete with Chair caps and table cloth!!

Thank you guys!

Busy

Well, this past weekend we had a few friends over.
the guys went to the beer fest and then came over and we all went out to dinner and came back to the house for some games.

during the day on Sat. Lisa P. and I noticed that it was getting cold, but thought it was just us.
then as the day progressed it kept getting cold, on sunday the house would not get above the low 60s, so we went to lowes and got a new thermostat, and installed it.
however, monday morning came around and it was in the low 50s in our house!
well Josh replaced the filter on Monday evening, and our house has been warm ever since! :)
and it seems the heater is working better than ever! yey!

I've been working on my quilt,
I finally got all of the squares cut out and the blocks laid out and the first block sewn together!
