Our Home!

It's starting to look like a home now!!! It's exciting!! Less then 2 months & we will be moved in! We can't wait to get our own house & have it our own!!

BeNtLeY!!!

Nic has really been wanting a dog...me...I'm not such a fan of dogs, they have always scared me! He wanted a big dog that could live inside our house...& I'm not a fan of that either. So we compromised. We found a little "house dog" that doesn't shed or look like a girly little rat dog...it's called a Chizer. We had never heard of him before, he's a cross between a Chiwawa & a Schnauzer...and he's stinkin cute & doesn't look like either of those breeds!

He likes to cuddle & sleep during the day & then when it's bed time he whines until we pick him up then just wants to play & bite. Joys of having a puppy :)

Bentley!

He always crawls up under Nic's chin to sleep...Nic will probably not be to happy with this picture up on here...so sshhh...it was cute!

Time to Start Building...!

We closed on our loan today!!! They've started digging the hole for our house today & we can't wait to see how fast it's going up! We're going to be SUPER busy the next 3 months!

Over the past weekend we moved into Nic's parents basement to save some money. We didn't realize we had so much stuff!! When we first moved into our apartment we didn't have anything...now we don't know what to do wtih all of our stuff!! The Hyer's home is just up the road where we are building so it's nice to be close while we build.

Tonight Nic & Blake were down pulling all the dead pine trees off the lot...there was about 4 or 5 big dead ones & he said it was alot of  work to get them out. They were down there pretty late, but we're glad they are all out now!

Goodbye Apartment!!!

So this was our very first place together...and now it's time to get rid of our lease & say goodbye!! We want to save money while we are building and so we are moving into Nic's parents basement. It's going to take only 4 months to build at the longest and so we won't be there long! We sure won't miss renting tho!! (No pictures of the bedroom...messy!!!)

Our sweet little kitchen!!

I think this is one of the worlds smallest bathrooms!

Our New Project...

So we've only been married since June of '09 and we thought we'd be renting for awhile. Well we have a pretty good down payment we could put on a house & we've decided it's a good time to find a house. My Uncle is a contractor & told us instead of buying an older home with our budget, we could build & he'd help us do everything & for a good price!! So we've got our floor plans & the lot! It's in Smithfield on 3rd south, which is a place we want to be...we like Smithfield! So i'll keep this updated when we get started on the house, which will be any day!! Can't wait, we're building a house :) Hope everything goes smooth & as planned!

Weekend @ Alex's!

This weekend we went to Alex's house for what he called a BBQ, it was anything but that! He bought a frozen lasanga & made that. It was good but he definently didn't cook it like he said! We played pool, danced & sang all night! It was way fun! Chels, Justin, Cailen, Colton, Alex & Mandy were all there. It was fun seeing them all cause it's been awhile!

Nic was trying to get me to dance with him all night, but sorry Alex, when you put on "Ice Ice Baby" I have a hard time wanting to dance!

Haha my favorite picture! Nic Alex & Justin dancing, I think it was to Britney Spears...or Willy Nelson...they both suck & that's what they wanted to listen to!

Maybe I should have just danced!

Some serious brother love!

    Haha nice smiles you guys! :)

Game Night!

We had everyone over to watch a football game & play games!  Here's some pictures!

We played this game called would you rather & Nic & I had to write "GOOF" on our forheads & hold our mouths open for the next players turn.

Zach, Sabre & there cute baby Zailee came over to watch the college championship football game...Go Alabama!!  It was way fun & hopefully we'll be doing more with them!

haha...this part of the game, Jordan & Randy were on a team. They had to act out stuff we shouted to them for a min! We've never laughed so hard!

Nic & Alex

A couple familys from Nic's mission in Florida have called him & asked to see pictures of him, his twin Alex and his family. So i've posted a few pictures, here they are & now you know how alike they look!

New Years Eve!

So this year we went out to my parents till about 10:00. We had tons of family & friends over. We played games, pool & ate TONS of food! It was alot of fun! After that we went out to Ryan & Britney Larsens house played more games & watched the ball drop! It's been a fun year & can't wait to see what this one has to bring!

DaTe NiGhT!!

We decided to get out of the house the other night, we went to dinner, bowling & then a movie, it was fun to get out and have a date night!

ChRiStMaS!!!!

This was our first Christmas being married....it was fun getting & decorating our own tree! It was sure different this year being just the 2 of us! It was way fun tho! Christmas Eve we went to Nic's grandma's & ate dinner with all the family, then we headed out to see my family. Every Christmas Eve we get to open one gift & it's always pj's from my parents! They bought me & Nic some, it was fun!

Christmas Morning I was like a little kid still! I woke up at like 7 & made Nic get out of bed! He opened his presents, he got 2 new Chargers shirts (since he really needed some more...) and a new electric razor...he doesn't feel like sandpaper anymore...yay!

Nic did pretty good...my Chi died so he got me a new one & two pairs of boots & they were stinkin cute, he picked them out himself too!

Gingerbread Houses

On Sunday, we had Justin & Chels over to make gingerbread houses with us...The boys looked at us like we were CrAzY! But it's Christmas time, we need to get into the Christmas Spirit!! Both houses turned out pretty cute, but mine & Nic's house slowly caved in. It made a big mess but it was alot of fun! Nic & Justin always make us laugh! They sang the whole night kept making the dumbest jokes...but we love them!

So here's how they turned out!
