Updates to the farm house

I'm posting pictures of KRs room even though we didn't make changes (I was walking around taking pictures of the house and K wanted me to take pictures of her room too) -just moved her stuff in... which all happened to be pink. The walls were already pink, those blinds were there and that "fabulous" carpet was already in there... lucky us!! :-/ I would love to paint her walls white & but she loves it and that is all that matters, right??

Her room from the door:

From her closet:


Living room- duck hunting border and paint on the bottom half... yes the carpet is green:

Another view of the living room... I hate the carpet but we couldn't talk them into changing it because it's actually in pretty good shape:

Living room after:

Another view of living room:



Dining room view from kitchen... nasty peeling wallpaper:

Yes, it's been since May that I last blogged! I kept thinking I need to update but so much as changed that this blog could be so long. I'm going to kept it short and sweet or else you'd get bored reading and I would get bored of writing! There have been two major changes in our lives that I'll just touch on. (more detail is to come)
  1. We're pregnant!!! We found out the first week of June after I'd had a couple crazy mood swings and one day of not feeling well. We couldn't be more excited and KRae is absolutely ecstatic to become a big sister. I can't wait to see her with the new baby... she is the most loving and nurturing little girl I've ever met. We find out Sept 28th the gender!!!
  2. We moved. We moved about 40 minutes away from where we were living in Lincoln to southeast of Lincoln in the country. Literally... we have two neighbors both about 1/2 mile away. We are able to have to horses out here and love it. I took before & after pictures of some of the rooms we redid... I'll post sometime. It is so peaceful out here!!

    This is the view from our front porch

My weekends and evenings are spent with things like this now...
