almost there!

We're getting so close to being in our dream house! My body must know that we are getting close because I can't stop stressing! It's so stupid! I've gone over the numbers thousands of times, we even pay a fake mortgage payment into our savings, I KNOW we can afford this... but just the thought of signing our life away for the next 30 years to a mortgage is crazy!

Lots of progress has been made since I last blogged.

The fireplace is nearly finished:


The kitchen countertops and sink have been installed:


Tile floors have been installed:

Yesterday we went out there after work with our dear friends Mikey and Julie to do a little yardwork before it got too dark (which didn't take long btw). I was exstatic when I drove up and noticed that my house was no longer a dirty grey color:



It was too dark to get pictures inside, but the countertops have been installed in the bathrooms, along with the shower and guest bath surrounding. Electricians got the majority of the outlets done and some of the reccessed can lights installed. It's starting to look good!

This Saturday is our one year anniversary! Wow, has it been that long already?!?! I'm just excited that we have lasted longer then most celebrity marriages hahaha! We were planning to celebrate by riding 4wheelers with friends, but there is just too much to do with the house right now that we decided to.... work in our yard instead! Is that bad or what? Hopefully afterwards we will head to Lafayette and eat at Prejeans! I've only been there once, but they had THE BEST crabcake appetizer I have ever eaten!

Sorry for the lack of posts, and recipes! I'm still cooking like crazy, but too lazy to take photos ;)
