Polishin' the terd.

Christopher's house needed some TLC before I move in officially in October. Last Saturday, since I was putting off going to the gym, I decided it was time to decorate. (For the record, I would have been WAY better off going to the gym!)

I went and got Chris' mom and we were off to the paint store. She was such a huge help tearing down wallpaper, and so was Chris' grandma! I finished Saturday at about 7, we were having friends at 8. I'm good with deadlines. Here's some before, during and after pictures!

And by the way...I advise folks to NEVER use wallpaper, ever.


That bird...it haunts me.











This is the second pile of wallpaper, we had already gone around and cleaned up one round, then scrapped more and got this. UGH


Well worth all the trouble...






Bird's gone.








Huge thanks to all of Chris' family for all the help!!

Engagement Pucs!

Stephanie Klein, who did Michelle's baby and maternity pics did out engagement pics and will be our photographer for our wedding! I can't wait. Here's the link to her website, and below are a few of my faves! It was the day it down poured...absolutely soaking wet through most of these, we're going to do some more on a "dry day"

I guess that's more than a few =)

Dutchers!

I've been such a bad blogger, so much has happened, no time to blog! Ack.

Jack came down with Dutch Sunday morning to try and introduce him to the water a little, Dutch did great! It took a little convincing the water wasn't bad, but when dad goes all in, so does your pup!

Super pup


Speaks for itself...











Afterwards Lilly (who is not a swimmer) came out to play

Doesn't matter if you're black or white..










This next picture explains Jack and I perfectly. I am Lilly, Jack is Dutch. Lilly is just sitting there and here comes Dutch to provoke her and cause her to get rilled up. Enough said folks.


Lilly wins


She was tuckered out!
