I now officially live in the middle of NOWHERE!

I Have moved into my house, well my Mom and my Sister have moved me into my house, thanks to them I have a kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom, all the things you need to live. And they even cleaned my old duplex for me! Three cheers for the two women who worked their butts off to move me before this baby decides to make her entrance into this world!!

Isn't Life Grand!!!

So I am making dinner tonight, which is a huge deal lately, my poor family has been getting soup out of a can or chilli out of a can or pretty much anything they can scrounge up by themselves, so Ashley has been eating a lot of sandwiches, because she can pretty much make them by herself. So anyway I am making Clam chowder, a favorite in our family, dicing up the potatoes and onions and doing ok. Then I need to open the clams, twisting with a hand canopener, did ok on the first one but the second one jumps out of my hand and dumps lovely smelling clams and juice all over my rugs I have only had for a short time. I dont even know if this rug will fit into my washing machine. So I am trying to mop up this big stinky mess, with my huge belly in the way and my husbands helpful comments of "Are you ready for a live in cook now" Well yea I have wanted one of those for as long as I can remember. I got the clam chowder finished and it did taste really good, and I was able to freeze half of it so now I have one more meal ready for when the baby is born. Now I figure if its this much of a mess for me to try to cook right now I will just wait until after this baby is born to cook again! Yea a mini vacation from cooking.

Day 2, Well day 548 of Project HOUSE!

Photo overload on this blog, Sorry, I am just so excited!
The other half of the house set on the foundation and the guys building the part of the roof they had to build onsite because we did the higher pitch roof.
Look at my beautiful kitchen, it is 5x as big as the one I have been using for a year and a half!
The other half of my beautiful kitchen! After today they wont let me in again until it is done, because they are starting the finish work today, mudding the marriage line, putting down carpet, ect so I cant go in a see my beautiful kitchen again until it is totally done.
I didn know that these came without the carpent laid and they do that onsite.

Kinda dark by the time I got out there last night but this is the front of my house.
This was the best birthday present ever!! They brought our house in and would have had it set all in one day if the famous Mountain Home wind had not been at its best!
The other half waiting its turn to go onto the foundation!! Its very cool how they do this!

OLD Family Picture

I was looking thru my pictures on my computer and I came across this picture of my family when we were all kids, the dogs name is Duster I am in the Yellow shirt and my youngest brother is not born yet. Werent we so cute, its funny seeing my parents standing next to each other and actually smiling! :)

Best Friend Princess

Engrossed in a movie! Ashley asks all the time can my best friend Addie come over and play today, can I go to Addies house? I think if they had the choice they would spend all their time together.




So Addie was over here today, and as usual she and Ashley are dressed up princesses, this was too cute of a picture to ignore.

HOUSE




Since I just started this thing I thought I would post about the thing I am the most excited about. I have finally started on my HOUSE!!! YEA after a year and a half of trying to get different things squared away, I have a foundation and I have a well. To all of you who know my frustration with this project you understand my excitement.
This is my foundation!!! Holy Cow it is really happening and fast finally!!

New to this Blog thing.

Ok since so many of my friends have Blogs I thought I would give it a try. I love reading everyone elses blogs and thought this would be a fun way to keep up with the other friends that I dont get to talk to as much as I would like. (Jodie, Treasa) I love reading the wit, the gratitude, and seeing the pictures of all the little people who keep our lives so interesting.
