Wordless Wednesday

Wordless Wednesday is all pictures of what I've been doing in the past few weeks. We've been crazy busy with visitors and such so here are pictures of what we've been up too.

Can't sleep

It's almost 2:30am here and I just can't sleep. I'm so freaking excited that Missy is coming to visit Andrew and I. She is bringing her wonderful puppy Basco with her and we have so many things planned for this week. Lots of beach time and we're going to go to the Duplin winery with Emily, Holly, and Andrea. I kinda wish Andrew would have taken a day or two off of work but it's alright. More time for Missy and I to spend together. I'm hoping that we can make it to Beaufort, NC to see the historical sites and take a tour or two.

The day after Missy leaves my mom is coming to visit. We're planning on going down to Cape Lookout on Sunday, then who knows on Monday, and Tuesday is yarn shopping! I'm so excited to have house guests!!!!

Then in September for Labor Day Lizzie is coming with Peyton and Jake and maybe David. It'll definitely be fun. I can't wait to see my nephews.

We finally closed on the house!!!!!

Andrew and I finally closed on our home and quickly set to work making it feel like a home instead of just the house of doom. I planted a garden on the side of the house. Hydrangea and two bushes transplanted from the 15 the builder felt necessary to plant in front of my house. I also transplanted 3 other bushes behind the garage and in the little garden I pulled those 5 bushes from I planted a rose bush and two mini hibiscus plants. All of which are currently flowering and gorgeous. I was worried about them dying since I've planted them so late, but the lady at the nursery assured me I just needed water them religiously until they take root and they should be fine!!! We also extended the tiny back patio that the builder gave us with pavers and got a cute little outdoor table and chairs for the area. Our last home improvement project in our little home improvement marathon was to paint our bedroom. I LOVE the colors and the way we painted. Now I'm just trying to decide how to paint the front bedroom and spare bathroom. We decided to leave the kitchen/living room area the color it is since it's SO open and the we have really high ceilings and ladder (yet). Andrew is in charge of his man cave, but secretly I'm thinking chair rail with two tone wall. Maybe in some blues or greens since it is a man cave after all. The spare bathroom has a nice purple them going thanks to my wonderful mommy who bought us the set I wanted, but I'm not sure I want purple walls too. It may just be over kill. I know that I want to paint it though even if the color is similar to whats there because the type of paint in the bathroom is really flat and nothing wipes off the walls and the tiniest little splash of water discolors it. Well enjoy the house pictures! See if you can spot the animals I know that Tango and Munch are in there. I'm not sure if I caught Sue.
