Moving up....

So tonight we finally finished moving out of our duplex. It was a little sad, as it was the first place we shared as a married couple. It is bitter sweet. However, we are excited about becoming in homeowners in very few days. The house is almost done... we should be able to move in our stuff on Saturday....YAY!!!! Right now all our belongings are in the garage and at Tyson's parents.... what an ordeal. I am so ready for this whole house thing to be done. We are ready to be at HOME!!! Hopefully the next time I post, there will be pictures of the new house to view!!!

Tennis Widow

I just thought I would post about being Husband-less for the past 5 going on 6 weeks. Tyson is at A&M Tennis Camp doing what he loves...coaching tennis!! And as happy as I am that he is loving his job, I miss him... We have only been married 8 months, but I am realizing how much I depend on his presence. He is so wonderful and I enjoy him just "being around". I am so ready for him to be home with me!

We are also, HOPEFULLY, moving next weekend (the 26th). We will see if that actually happens. But I am planning this move by myself since Tyson isn't here...kind of rough. He has LOTS of stuff to go through... My mom says that when I am married for a little longer, I won't care, and will just throw stuff away and get rid of his stuff...haha... So right now I am living with a house full of boxes...kitchen packed up... nothing on the walls or shelves...the house looks really sad. I am ready to be "HOME" and settled in our new house.

New House Blues #2.....

So yesterday was my wonderful husbands birthday!!! He turned the big 2-7. WOO WOO!!! However, he is at tennis camp and got to spend his day working in the hot sun with a bunch of screaming adolescents!! I on the other hand went to take a look at the progress of our new house. I was very excited to see the paint on the ceilings and trim. Also, the bathroom cabinets are painted. They were staining the kitchen cabinets when I came in, and as beautiful as they looked, I was sure that this wasn't the stain color I picked out. I contacted our builder and real estate agent to let them know about the stain. Needless to say, they have put the wrong stain on the cabinets!! LOVELY!! Just add it to my list of why I don't want to build a home again. This has been a very trying and discouraging process. I am meeting today, very soon, with the real estate agent and hopefully builder to discuss options. What fun!! Pray that I don't hurt someone during this whole homebuilding process!!

Happy 4th!!

Today we are headed "home" to Granbury for the 4th. I say "home" because my parents have just recently moved away from Eastland. But we have moved so many times, "home" is where ever the parents are living. This is Tyson's first time to see my parents new home. And we don't know how to get there :) haha :) Well, we know ho to get to Granbury, but they live in Pecan Plantation and we have to come in the back entrance, but I know how to get to the house from the front entrance.... which is way out of the way from where we will be coming into town. It will be an adventure. I LOVE Granbury on the 4th. They have all these fun festivities and the square has lots of vendors set up. It will be so much fun. I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th weekend!

blogging from camp...

I never thought I would get a blog, but when my wonderful wife told me she had made one, I figured, Why not. So, I am at tennis camp right now. I am supposed to be helping out with camp olympics, but my BEAUTIFUL wife brought my birthday present, so we are up in my room. Wait, get your mind out of the gutter...

I have a huge headache, probably from yelling at kids all day to bend their stinking knees on volleys. Thats always a task. So, maybe I will get to bed early tonight and get some sleep for the first time in 3 weeks. 3 almost down, 3 to go. I am going to be worn out week six, I can feel it. Oh well, cant beat the pay, and I have a mean farmers tan.

Okay, I am going to work now. We will see where this blog goes in the future. Thanks and Gig 'Em!

New House...blues

So today I took off work to do some house stuff that I haven't been able to get to because these places do not have normal business working ours and aren't open on the weekends.... lovely. I get to this place called The Paint Warehouse, where I am to pick out stain for the cabinets. I was supposed to be able to walk in and samples would be waiting for me... Oh no, not the case. I had to decide what stains I wanted samples of. This was not what we were orginally told. Needless to say, I was quite perturbed. This building a new home has been quite the challenge. And for those of you that know me, know that I am not a good decision maker..... It has been a struggle. So here in a bit I am headed back to the Paint Warehouse in hopes that my stain samples are ready so that I am not the hold up at closing. What a day, What a day!
