Hi!

Sorry I know it has been so long.. told you Im no good at keeping up
with these things. So I just talked to my mom today and got me all
excited about getting a garden in and she wanted some pics of our yard
so I was taking pictures and I decided since I am taking pics of outside I
should just post pics of our house and our backyard so everyone can
see our cute little house.
But yeah a little about us right now, things are good Jared's job is
keeping him really busy. He is in the field (camping) with his students
they are up there for about a week and they have to survive out there, so
build shelters, fires, hike, navigate and etc.
So I have just been kickin it by myself for a week very lonely.
So next month Jared will be going to
7 level which is just a bunch of jumping out of planes for 4-5 weeks,
the last week or two of 7 level he gets to be in Hawaii.. so jealous haha.
So I might be coming home that month he is gone.
But yeah Jared is loving
his job it is just keeping him really busy. I am still on the job hunt
which is very discouraging lately.. but it has motivated
me to get my butt back in
gear and go back to school. My two options are right now
Radiology tech and physcial therapy assistant,
both very hard to get into. I will keep you
all posted on what happens job wise and school wise.
We havent done anything new on the house yet, we both have not been
very motivated to do anything new but I will take some pics so
you all can see, I love our house so much it is so fun.
You all need to come visit.
The weather has been really nice in the 50's and kind of rainy lately
but no snow at least in town, I guess it snowed on Jared while
they have been up at their camp site. So I am getting really excited
for summer. This week I have
been looking into activities this summer, there is so much. You guys
have to come here!!! AHHH!! cant wait. So we have a pig out fest,
where a bunch of vendors put up booths and you just eat whatever you
want. There is a Japanese festival, and hoopfest which is a bunch of
basketball
games being played I heard it is pretty cool and the fun part is just a
bunch of shops but up booths and they close the streets so there is
just a bunch of stuff to walk around and look at. And then also farmers
markets go on all summer till October and they are every weekend..
I heard they are way fun and really good fresh veggies. But then also
there is a bunch of farmers that let you come and do cherry
picking and apple picking and things like that, so summer will be
really fun, Im trying to
get you guys all excited to come visit haha... Love you all
miss you all and I hope to see you all sooooo soon!

Im Back



Hi so I have decided to start blogging again. 
Katie thought it would be a good place for me 
to post pics of the house and everything. 
We will see how long I can keep up with it.

After our wonderful Christmas break with our families 
Jared and I got started on remodeling the house. 
Jared had already started on the bathroom before 
Thanksgiving and he was really excited to get it finished. 
So next day we were planning everything out and taking our 
first  of many trips to Lowe's, which is now one 
of our favorite stores ha! 
Jared did a lot of the work but I was there to help do some 
random helpful things, I let him do all the hard stuff. 

So that pic is what the bathroom use to look it, so cute isn't it.
I couldn't even see in the mirror in the morning 
to do my hair or put makeup on unless 
i stood on my tippy toes or wore heels..... not fun. 
So I was really excited to fix that mirror. 
We finally had a plan and started tearing 
everything out of the bathroom.

The first thing we were going to work on was putting texture 
on the other half of the wall and painting it spa green. 
While Jared worked on the walls

I started sanding all the old cabinets that were in the bathroom. 
We decided we would save a little money that way by 
reusing them and Jared would make new doors. 
He amazes me with how good he is at all of this.
We decided it would look good to have
glass inside the doors and Jared figured out a way.
He amazes me with all of this stuff he does, 
he seriously looked up a video on youtube and figured out a plan. 
They look amazing. We put a rice paper film on the 
glass which looks really cool and will hide all the mess inside.


It has been a lot of work and we still have some 
stuff to do but we are worn 
and tired from all the late nights and hard work,
mostly Jared he worked 
his bum off on this.
But this is our first project of many on this house 
and I'm excited to get it all finished and beautiful.
I'm excited for all of you to come and visit us 
you are going to love it here. 

It is so beautiful, they other day on my way to an interview 
I just looked around me and there is so many pine trees covered in 
snow it is gorgeous maybe Ill have to go get a picture for you guys to
see but I love it here! 
It is seriously beautiful and I love our house and the people.
I miss you all and you have to come visit so you 
understand how much we love it here.. 
I will post again soon with pictures of the rest of the house and ones 
of the finally finished bathroom..!!
