We're in!!!!!!! And the work has begun

So we've been in the new house for about a week now and things are progressing very fast!!! My mom came out last weekend to help out with getting things in order and really worked herself to the bone helping get two of the three bathrooms near completion. I'm so happy with how everything is turning out so far!! Our bedroom is almost completely painted (just a little touch up needed) and the master dressing room is also almost completely painted (also just a little touch up needed)

We had a great birthday yesterday and went out for a wonderful dinner at the Claim Jumper. We ate waaaay too much food, but had a great time. We brought about 15 pounds of food home with us. I can't believe that I'm 27 now and that Kevan is 29. This was our 6th birthday that we celebrated together. Time really does fly by.

Colton went to New York with my mom for the next 2 weeks while we get the rest of the house in order. I've been so sick and the poor kid can really only run around the play room. So with him not being here during the biggest part of the construction (sheetrock etc) it's really for the best for him. But we're missing him like crazy!!!!!!! This is going to seem like forever that he's gone.

I had my 25 week doctors appointment today and it went great! Her heartbeat is at 160 and I'm measuring right on target. I will take a Belly shot next time that I have on real clothes instead of painting gear.

Here are some comparison pictures:

NEW FURNITURE: (Thanks Mom!!!!)
(New two-toned couches go into family room once it's done. The leather couches in the background will go down into The Pub once thats done. For now, they're all sitting in the formal living room)




New Light fixture in the kitchen (Thanks Lowes!!!):
