Happy Thanksgiving

This year we had Thanksgiving in our new house. Karen, Max, Kevin, Cynthia, Emma and Adam joined us for the holiday weekend. We had a lot of fun watching movies, eating, going to see '2012' and shopping black Friday sales. Matt had to work every day this week due to the big lobby renovation at the Hyatt so it was nice to have some company. Everyone left today so right now I am cleaning and keeping tabs on the BYU vs Utah game. Go cougs :)

Matt got home right in time for dinner. It was my first time making Thanksgiving dinner and I had (and needed) a lot of help from Karen :) Thanks Karen!

This weekend was the first time Matt and I slept over in the house. It was so much fun and we can't wait to have more visitors in the future.

Transformation of The Wall

This is the wall that Ami thought would be a disaster and now she loves it.

This wall was very crooked to start with.

So I cut off most of the crooked part.

I refinished it with drywall and texture.

Then painted it brown,

added a pine cap with some moldings,

patched it up,

painted the cap white,

added some base boards,

and voila!

Here are some pics from this week.

The beautiful sunset from our backyard.

Our new couch/chair! (only furniture in the house right now)

The completed entry way; it has all been cleaned and painted. In the future we hope to put down hardwood floors.

Matt finished the wall! Well sort of.....he is capping it off so there will be more pics to follow.

This house has been consuming all of our time and energy. I go over after work every single night and we are there all Friday and Saturday. It's going to be so worth it when we are done! I am so excited to move in and have a home.
