An Accomplished Weekend Including Lots of Caulking




After this wonderful weekend, I can proudly say that I can cross off TWO goals from my list!


This weekend we put down wood floors in the guest room.
We also did our part and recycled something... our guest room carpet!
put it down in the basement, and bam! you have a finished basement.. right?

Andrew surprised me completely and bought a guest room bed ( pillow top!)
and our DREAM couch! have you ever had you had your eye on something and wanted it SO badly that you "checked up on it" at the store? yeah we did that weekly.
I don't know what we were waiting for, maybe thinking if the store got to know our names from all the visits they would JUST hand it over to us one day.

well this day andrew picked it out and there we go! a new HUGE couch.
I call it the (honeymoons over) couch because its so big that we can both lay out and not even touch each other. But dont worry, i always make sure my feet or hands somehow have him.
Purgy our puppy even has her own spot, and i just caught her on camera dreaming, oh puppy dreams.

And more great news!
I can NOW jump around in my living room wearing whatever i want!
I can do my weird yoga and toning exercises without my NEIGHBORS seeing me!
After 2 months of naked windows, we have made our own curtain rods and added wonderful periwinkle blue curtains pulled back with white rope ( very nautical). I am a very happy girl!


And who says that just because we have a house that we HAVE to grow up?
After working very hard on the house, we added to TWO leafs two our hardwood dining room table and played PING PONG!
I am very bad at it, but no one was injured this time around.


*heat update*
second week into november and still have yet to turn the heat on!!!!
it is 55 right now in our lovely home.
i love it!
lets make it to december!

We did caulk all around the windows to get rid of any cracks where the cold air would get in.
( I need to get over my fear of getting embarrassed when asking where the caulk is when at a hardware store)
