Electrical? No problem!

The house is changing so quickly it is hard to keep up! Today we are having our 4-way inspection done (cross your fingers!) and if all goes well insulation will be installed tomorrow, the roof will be put on this weekend, and Monday the sheet rocking will begin!

This Last weekend Rob (my brother), Ben's Dad, uncle Mike, and Jared (Ben's brother) all came and helped us with the electrical work, we got about 80% of it done and Dan finished it up for us. Thanks to everyone who helped out!

Here is our giant tub I am very excited about!

27 YEARS

Ben Celebrated his 27th Birthday last Wednesday (October 14th). I have also discovered a new love for editing photos, I have just began and sometimes over do it a bit, but below are my attempts at it...hopefully it will get better with more practice :)


I made him caramel honey french toast for breakfast, and he got to open up his "birthday" shirt before work.

After work his mom had made dinner for all of his family and a cute ghost cake!

After dinner I sent him on a treasure hunt to find the rest of his presents

All of his nieces and nephews were excited to help him out. His treasure hunt ended in the racket ball court. There he found two gifts and an office chair. As you can see below the kids loved the chair down on the wood floor :)

I went for a computer themed birthday, below is his long awaited external hard drive

And last but not least I spoiled him with a new computer monitor

Happy Birthday Ben I love you!

House Update

So I know it has been longer than a week since we updated on our goals but life got crazy and an update on it will be coming soon :)

On another note, our house is coming right along. I visited the house this morning and it looks like all the framing is now finished and we even have our giant tub in...I am pretty excited about the tub :) Below are some pictures of the progress of the house starting with our 2 foot hole on the lot. I took a new picture today of the front of the house completely framed, but I have not uploaded it yet...so more pictures to come!
