June to July 2015

June was so crazy. My morning sickness finally abated about midway through (though I never did get back my energy) we were trying to get the house in decent working order for my parents visit and my family reunion. 

Our neighborhood does the coolest 4th of July. Seriously. There is a pancake breakfast then a kids bike parade complete with a marching band.

We also found out we were having a boy!

Trying to play a little catch up. Well we have obviously moved into our house since I last posted. We also were surprised by a pregnancy - well a surprise but not. We had been trying but weren't having any luck so we decided to take a break since we were going to be moving and rehab. So of course it happened then. 

We found out I was pregnant midway through the rehab when I could not stop being nauseous 24/7. Somehow it all came together. We had a ton of help from family and friends and I will forever be grateful to those who took time to help us. 

I honestly can't remember much of anything except laying in bed, drinking gingerbeer, eating crackers, and being so annoyed that I could not do the things that needed to be done. That was my spring 2015.

Things are coming back together!

Last week was not very exciting in term of pictures but very productive. All our electricity was put in/fixed, and our drywall was all repaired and the front rooms were retextured. 

 This week as been more far more 'exciting in ways of changes. It started out with our fireplace being installed. We decided to go for a gas linear fireplace (a little bit of a splurge to tell you the truth) because it seemed to fit the space better. We decided to not stone the entire fireplace but planked it.

 And there has been a crazy amount of painting. I've really appreciated anyone who's come out and helped. You have helped far more than you know (Well you and the paint sprayer ;) Sorry I don't have photos of everyone :)

 

 Outside we've knocked all those weeds in the back yard down as well as walked the yard for all the debris that was back there (rebar, old balls, stone, scrap fencing, etc.) In the front yard Jeremy's nephew came and took out our front bushes (juniper) That last photo does not capture the size of pile that was created by those huge overgrown bushes.

Ah, last but not least. Our incredibly full garbage can which I did not think originally we were going to fill.  

And that has basically been our last 2 weeks. This week is flooring, molding, finishing up painting, cleaning, and moving in. It's going to be crazy.
