Busy Busy Busy...

Well I haven't updated in a while so I just thought I would drop in and say HEY! We have been soooo busy lately finishing our house. 2 weeks ago we got a new roof put on thanks to Trevor, Stephen and the other guys that helped! We ended up saving a TON of money doing it ourselves and frankly it looks pretty darn good. This weekend we are jack hammering some concrete in our back yard to fix a crack in our foundation and we are removing the concrete so that we can build decks there eventually. Within the next few weeks we will be getting new windows, siding, soffets, & gutters. We decided to go with a light gray siding and a darker shade of trim. Bye Bye brown house w/ purple shutters! I will feel soooo accomplished when the house is complete. We have 1 room upstairs that needs finished, a few spots of trim that need done and the basement as far as the inside goes. Outside after all the siding is done we just have some landscaping and decks to build and we will be good to go... Our house will finally feel like a home instead of a project! We will be able to get organized and feel like we just might make it living there for a little while longer... And who knows we might get to start our family there, even though I hope we are in a new house by then!

We are also getting ready to be in a wedding on October 3rd! Our friends Brent Dunnivent and Christy Shipps are gettin hitched! Trevor is an usher and I am a bridesmaid. I haven't been in a wedding since 2005 but I am enjoying it so far! They are pretty busy with their pre-wedding festivities. I am pretty excited about the Bridal Shower this weekend... I got a cake for her and it is going to look FABULOUS! I can't wait for her to see it. And I for sure can't wait for the bachelorette party. It's going to be a blast.

Trevor is still working at Iatan power plant and has heard through the grape vine that his work there might be done come October. We have had a good ride with the company he is working for and I am going to be disappointed that we won't be as "well off" as we have been lately... This is why we SAVE SAVE SAVE our money... You never know in the construction field when you just might not have a job anymore. He has been very lucky in the past finding work so I have no worries. He is officially a journeyman in the Carpenter's Union and we received an invitation in the mail last weekend inviting us to attend a dinner in honor of the apprenticeship completers! It is going to be held at the Hyatt Regency at Crown Center in Kansas City. They are going to have dinner and a dance and I am honored to know that my future husband had achieved this title in the Union. I am so proud of him :)

Our wedding plans are coming along... I have figured up all the tables that we are going to need and it's going to be crazy. We are going to have to barrow tables from the Church in order to have enough space for everyone to sit. I can't believe that the reception hall only has tables to accommodate such a small amount of people considering that the space is HUGE and really EXPENSIVE! I am going to be getting in touch with our DJ and Caterer here soon to get those contracts going and all the "Big" stuff will finally be complete... well almost!
