More Work

Josh also cleaned out the gutters...

And I decorated the dining room table with some dishes.
And finally we put grass and Straw down so our grass can grow! :)

Gardens

I've been trying to figure out what is planted in my gardens, so I did some trimming of what was left from the fall and then added in the garden decor my mom made and my solar lights :)

Catch up

Well Catch up seems to be what I'm good at latley.
So here are some things we have been up to

I bought new hot pads for the kitchen, they were on clearance and Josh swears they look like doilies, but they are so cute!

Then we got ready for Easter with a wreath and Easter Egg Decorating
:)


Then We leveled out the back yard since after the new septic system is was a mess,
5 cubic yards of dirt later it looks good!

OLD Habits die hard

Thats right
old habits die hard...
some harder than others
my fun hobby of locking keys in places such as my car has not escaped me.
Unfortunate.
the other day we managed to lock ourselves out of our house.
no phone no keys no cars unlocked...
the garage was, however, open.
we tried to brake in several different places no luck
so josh walked next door and they let us call a locksmith
let me tell you they make good money for 10 minutes of work...
lets hope that doesnt happen again.

History of our House

So Josh and I were talking to our Neighbor and apparently he was doing a little research on our house.
He talked to the neighbors, and some of them have been living in their houses since they were built.
Apparently our house was the first one built in the subdivision and it was owned by someone that was fairly high up in the Upjohn company (now bought by pfizer)
why did they pick the smallest lot in the subdivision? lol...
i'm not sure if its the smallest... but somedays the less than half an acre seems confining to me, when I grew up on 2.5
And according to Trulia
the people that lived in our house before us bought it in July of 2004.
and i think they moved out in march 2008 and the moving company had it until we bought it in November or 2008.

Sittin' Pretty

So as mentioned before our friends Jeremy and Lisa are moving to Florida.

and they gave us the wonderful dining room table.

they also gave us the fabulous couch so now more than three people can sit down in our family room at once :)

YEY!

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!
