House under Construction..

I am thinking this is what I want for our master bathroom cabinet and light fixtures (top and second picture).  I am also liking the hole arch top.  I also like the last picture for my 1/2 bath.  I think this sink/ vanity will look excellent in that room.  I am in love with rustic and natural looking items.  What do you think?

Clean Cat

Can you believe that our cat  SIMBA loves to be vacuumed.  He could just lay there all day and allow you to vacuum him.  Helps with less hair in the house.  Dale does it once a week, but to Simba he could have it done every day.   I am telling you he will sit and cry while you are vacuuming the carpet until he gets his fur vacuumed.  He is so precious.  The other three of our cats are terribly scared of the vacuum cleaner.  I sure wished they would like to be vacuumed too.

Productive Weekend!!

So this past weekend, Dale and I put up the drywall on the house we we amazed on how quickly we got it up and how nice it looks. I am proud of our accomplishments that we have done. We are one step closer to moving into the new home!

Rub A Dub Dub, We Bought Our Whirl Pool Tub

The progress on the house is going Great! This past Friday the plumber told us, that we had to get our shower heads picked out and our tub for the upstairs bathroom. We were pretty unsure of what we really wanted up in that bathroom, we decided to go to town and go shopping. Shopping for house hold things is always fun. After long consideration, Dale and I have decided to go with a corner whirl pool tub made by Jacuzzi. It has 12 jets and it also has a heater to keep the water warm. I am excited with the progress on our house. We went to Home Depot to realize we hated what they had to offer. Then we went to Lowe's and there it was white and sparky, the tub of our dreams. We bought it and we brought it home. I think once the tile is around the tub it will be a gorgeous bathroom, and a nice addition to our home.

The house

Dale and I have been building our home for like 3 to 5 years, I think I lost count after 3, but whose counting anyways. We are finally making some progress on the house. It always feels good to have progress, it makes both of us feel that we are moving further ahead in our lives. If we weren't spending every penny we earn on the house, just think of the other STUFF we could have. Oh well, for now the house will have to do. Every time someone goes into the house to make the progress to help us move forward we get more and more excited. So we are finally getting the heating and the cooling in the house, and yes I am ecstatic. A lot of people think that building a new home with there husband is stressful, but I absolutely love the adventure. We find many different styles and different ideas that we each have. It is fun and exciting every bit of the adventure. I would not change it for anything. I guess I just can't wait till September because Dale and I will be living in the new home and we can put this chapter to a close and move on to the next chapter in our lives whatever that may be.

New Color, New Cut, and feeling good

I decided to break down and do something with my hair. I went and got it highlighted and darkened underneath, looks pretty amazing. P.S. the pictures don't do it justice..

The Vacuum Cleaner Cat

I have never had a cat that loves the vacuum cleaner. He literally chases the vacuum when we are using it. He will also allow you to vacuum his loose fur off him. He is crazy and not afraid of anything. He definitely is not a scaredey cat. The other cats that we have run for there dear life. I think dale fell in love with Simba a little bit more because he allows him to vacuum the loose hair off of him. What an amazing creature we have in our life.

Devastation of Haiti earthquake

About a month ago, there was complete destruction to Haiti caused by a 7.0 earthquake. Many people lost there homes, schools, friends, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, mom's, dad's and children. It was a terrible day for this country. They lost many loved ones. there are so many children in orphanages who don't have anyone they can trust. the number of children in orphanages will increase due to this destruction. Why does mother nature have to be so harsh? Why does so many people have to suffer? Why is life so hard? Can't everything just go as planned, there were so many innocent people that died that day. So many young children. Did god need angels that he took so many in a couple of days time. Or was that out of his control. Is life for these people of Haiti ever going to get better? What kind of a life do they have? Losing all the ones they love and adore. How much hardship do they have to endure. It just gets me thinking that so many people no matter color or race, they suffer so dramatically. What was the reasoning, was there a higher power? I have no clue. I surely wouldn't be asking.
I have thought about adopting one of these children but the dollar signs always get in the way. I wished there was an easier way to adopt a child from another country then to pay such crazy amount of money for a child that has literally nothing and they have no family. What is the country doing to these innocent children. I have no clue.
I have been pondering the thought of children for about 4 months now, I don't foresee Dale and I getting pregnant and having a children. I don't think we can. We have been married 9 years and absolutely no oops has ever happened. So this year I will concentrate on building the house and maybe I will adapt a child from another country. Who knows what life will bring once we have a nice home to bring up our children in. Ponder never hurt any one.
What is your feelings on the devastation that happened in Haiti? I just hope and pray they will recover and grow into a stronger and more organized country. for they can't bear anymore sorrow or hardship..
Thanks for taking the time and reading whats important to me...
