We are officially home owners...well almost!

So after more than 4 months of trying to get this house it is finally ours. All we have to do next is sign the papers, which will probably happen on Tuesday. Now let me just warn you all that our house needs serious TLC. So don't judge the pictures because we know it's ugly, but we are ready to tackle all the problems. So details...it's about 2,800 sq. ft. and has 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a mother-in-law entrance, and a nice big yard for our little girl, Raven. I'll be sure to post before and afters as they come. We probably won't be moving in until the end of January so we'll be plenty busy fixing up the place until then.

Raven Ruined Christmas!

So I know Christmas isn't all about the presents but hey when you spent a lot of time and effort to get a great present then it really is disappointing when something happens to those presents. Once again we tried to leave Raven out of her kennel while we were at work. Well, yesterday when I came home from work I discovered a little surprise. Raven had ripped open all of our presents for Christmas and chewed up Mike's books I bought him. They are still able to be read but who wants a funny looking chewed up book right? I yelled at Raven and locked her in her kennel, sat on the floor to clean up her mess, and cried. I was so sad that Christmas was ruined. I knew what Mike got me and there was no way to wrap up what I got for Mike. On the good side, we both liked what we got for Christmas but that Raven will never ever be let out of her kennel when we are gone. Never again. She has some serious issues. So now we are just going to have stockings on Christmas to open. Not too sad but the surprise is all ruined.

Nashelle Charm Necklaces!

So cute necklace! You can even personalize it with whatever letters you want and charms you want. Great Christmas gift from Soel. Call me to order one! Oh ya they come in gold or silver.

I wish there was a cute little baby in that picture!

Body Works Museum!

So, yesterday Mike and I both had the day off and decided to see he body works museum up in Salt Lake. It was amazing. Really puts a new perspective on life. I said to Mike at one point "If people really think there is no higher power, they are crazy". It is so true! The amount of thought that went into creating our bodies must have been endless. Our bodies, and their functions, are so beautiful and so amazing! It was just a wonderful experience. They won't let you take pictures so these are from the website. Check it out! Buy the way, all f these bodies are really. I mean real people!!!

Our early Merry Christmas

So thanks to Mike's parents, Kent and Sheri, we got a wonderful, and much needed, vacuum for Christmas. With having Raven now our vacuum just doesn't do the job. So, tonight we brought it home and vacuumed every inch of our apartment. Let me just tell you...this Dyson animal vacuum is insane. It sucks up stuff you didn't even know was there before. Most of what we vacuumed was of course Raven's hair, but the other dust and dirt was crazy. Once you are done you feel so clean! I think everyone should get one of those vacuums in their home. They are quite pricey but worth every penny. It's especially great if you have kids. If you ever want to test it out. Come on over my friends!
