Counter Tops

Our counter tops came a couple of weeks ago and they look amazing and after several of back and forth decisions and looking for the right color and price for our master bath counters, the company that we were going through started carrying a new color and .... it worked!!! I cannot say how relieved I was!!! The pictures don't do the kitchen counter tops justice. As for the wall in the Piano room well that was a little hectic as well but I have fixed the goofs and am pretty satisfied. Tile is done and now we are just finishing up the trim and still need the carpet and railing and all the other little things that need done before or after we move in. I think that we will be in the house by Christmas but Thanksgiving is pushing it.

Cabinets are here... Counter tops are comin' !!!

 So last week our cabinets showed up and I love them!!!!!!! It feels so good to have them here. Our Counter tops are getting cut out this week and hopefully will be here next week. I am so excited!!!

Cabinets and Counter tops are coming this week!!!

We have basically finalized everything for our cabinets and counter tops and can't wait to show you. It has been a bit rough and Eric and I have been going in circles trying to make sure everything matches and within our budget, but I think that it will all work out. I am super excited!!!! Eric has done most of the tiling and I just told him what patterns I wanted and he started throwing it down and it turned out awesome!! I still have a bit of grouting to finish up and a few touch ups with the paint (of course I will have to do it again in a few weeks) but we are getting closer.!! P.S. Sadly to say no hunting this year for us, but I can't wait to start 'yote callin!!~!!!!!

Meanwhile, in the whole mix of house building, my sister and her new little family moved to Wisconsin and I am really really bummed! But hopefully road trip in the future!!! Miss my sis and miss my sweet little nephew!! And my amazing brother-in-law of course!! :)

From texture to paint to tile!

Eric and I have been working hard at the house and with the help of family, we were able to start painting and tiling the small rooms. This is a short post but here is what we have accomplished so far.

Busy Busy Busy!!!

So baby Louis Daniel Jensen was born July 12 and is one happy healthy boy and their parents are even happier!!! I love this little boy and can't get enough of him!!! Baby Louis had some hair and it had this gorgeous strawberry red tint in it. Laurel did it all natural and I was so amazed and proud of her!!!! I love that girl!!!

As for the house there have been happy days and stressful days but it is coming along and looking back when it was just getting framed.... we have come a long way but have a long way to go!!! The insulators came last week and it was pretty neat to watch how they blew the insulation in and the smell was like cotton candy- kind of a burnt sugar that still smelled sweet. I am SO SO SO grateful that they got that done because Eric and I have been getting heatstroke in that castle!! It was so hot and going upstairs to work from 9 in the morning to 9 at night wasn't really a "want to do" in our minds because of the heat, but now that the insulators came -- WOW!!! HUGE DIFFERENCE!!! The drywall is supposed to be here tomorrow and the crew will start on Monday... Fingers crossed!!! :)

NEW AUNTIE!!!

I'M GONNA BE AN AUNT again. We have a niece and a nephew and as of right now my sister :) Laurel and Dan are at the hospital as we speak. Baby Louis is on his way!!! I am so excited and want to be there!! I can't wait to see him and hold him and smother him in kisses. !!! ON the house side of things well..... our insulators showed up today and said they would be done by Friday. Looking good so far. I shot a couple of pictures last night after a storm blew through, thought it was neat. I love where we live and even though it's windy I Love Wyoming and the beautiful skies. I couldn't ask for a better place to live!! Enjoy!!! (had to throw the backhoe in there for eric :)

Stucco and Roof down... BUT A WHOLE LOT MORE TO GO!!!
