TIMHT (Piggy Bank)

I love my piggy bank! I got him a few years back from dad for my birthday. I haven't opened him but a couple times. I'm going to wait until he's full first. Here are some pictures: Under View

Moving (The Process)

So we've finally moved in, or...kind of. We're now living in the new house, but some of the upstairs stuff is still not moved out yet. We're doing that on weekends and such. Here are some pictures of the process of moving my room. It was hard, but really fun. I liked moving my own stuff rather than the living room, kitchen, etc. It was also fun to put all my stuff in my room and clean and everything. I've never had my own room before, so this is quite an experience! Rachel and I share a bathroom. We decided to paint it the same blue as in my room. So, I did that 2 Saturday's ago. It turned out really good, no pictures of it though.... Maybe later. Okay, so procede: These are the colors I picked for my room. Nobody else was too crazy about them, but I am attracted to blue and green together.

As you know, this is the room that Rachel and I shared in our old house. I miss our dots....

Ya'll haven't seen when we changed our beds around, but we moved them against the wall to avoid the claustraphobia. And, yes, I am aware that it is a total wreck in here. I didn't try and make it look messy, either.... Anyway, this is in the middle of moving our room.

It actually looked smaller without our furniture in it.... We transported the dresser, nightstand, and chest of drawers the day before this picture. This is my new room...before I painted it. So, the question here is: should I have left the murals? The lady that lived here before was an artist and painted for a side job. She did these and the other murals in the other rooms. Everybody wanted me to keep them, but I liked and still like the green and blue better. I guess because I remember their stuff in there with the murals. Painting it just makes it seem like my own room, you know?

Okay, so here it is painted. We had sooo much trouble painting these colors! I did the blue and green on alternating walls. When my dad finished painting them, they looked splotchy because of some touch-up jobs. So, my grandma helped me paint them again with the paint we had left. I'm glad I only had to do the bathroom and 1 coat of painting in the whole house. Other family members didn't fare so well.... I had just gotten my stuff over there in this picture so it was still junky. Excuse me. Here we are now. We left the polka dotted comforters at the old house and we're going to get some new ones. Target had some on sale, we just have to watch the adds. Preferably I want something with geometric, stripes, dots, etc. I think I'll probably get that for my birthday... (hint, hint) This was a long post! Woohee! Now I have to go organize the craft stuff...that should be fun.......

Moving!!

We're actually moving! For the past few days and the next few days, we're moving. I can't believe we're actually moving things. We're sleeping in our old house tonight and tomorrow we're renting a U-Haul and moving beds and the rest of the "necessities" like pots and pans, food, etc. We're all excited! We've never moved before and it's going to be a big change! My room is painted neon green and bright blue! I love it! You almost need sunglasses to walk in it. :) I'm going and try to get pictures of it when we're settled and make a nice big post about it, but for now you get a picture of my nightstand with empty drawers. Talk to you in a couple days! Check my Flickr for new pictures! I'm going to upload some now. sourpatch

15 German Shepards VS 1 Cat

This came in an email, and I thought it way too good to let pass. I love how they incorporated scripture into such a setting. It's cute, too....

Vacation

We just got back from vacation a few days ago! That's why there's been no new posts....I've been sleeping for days. Okay, not really that long, but close. And riding in the car...for....lets see........over 23 hours in a few days. I could run and jump for miles! Our grandparents let us use their vacation "cabin" in the mountains. Above are just a few pictures from vacation, there are sure to be more popping up on my flickr all the time! So make sure to check. 'Till the next post or comment! Cheerio.

(Okay, I was going to upload pictures here, but the computers giving my problems, I'll have to go put it in the corner! You can look on my Flickr for some of my pictures. Sorry...)
