Hi-Ho! Hi-Ho! Off to work we go!

More like ho-hum...This house remodeling is taking FOREVER! We are hoping to be in by Christmas. We originally thought we would be in by early October...ha ha! THAT definitely didn't happen!
So let me take you down memory lane for a quick recap on what's been going on with us and our house for the past 4 months:

On August 10th we purchased the house! Yay! After a year and a half of looking for a house, making multiple offers, and having all of them fall through for one reason or another, we actually purchased a house! We were stoked! We moved out of our apartment in Rigby and in with Nick's parents.
Every night (okay most nights of the week) we are at our house fixing it up. Our schedule is as follows:
Nick gets off work and comes home to change clothes and eat dinner. He then heads to the house.
I feed Nick and Sadie dinner and then once Sadie goes down for the night I head to the house.
We are usually at the house until 11 pm (at the earliest).

This is why I have been neglecting our blog!!! Just seems like there is no time! Here are some pictures of our new house:

Wow, you guys are doing an AMAZING job with the place! I love the floors especially! I know it must be such a hassle to have to wait so long to move in - but it will be SO nice to have it all done once you're there. Excited for you to move in soon!

NICE! So jealous! We are moving this week. I wish I could say it was to a house. But we are still renting.
