While we were gone...

Of course, while we were gone on our trip the kitties missed us very much. They still haven't scratched up any of our furniture, pooped on the carpet, or hung from my curtains(at least that i have seen). However, after returning from our trip, we noticed they have a love for small cords. They chewed completely through our main phone cord that all of our cordless phones gain power from. With that said, please call our cell phones until we can figure out how to fix our phones!

Pookie's Graduation!

Our cousin Pookie(aka: Trisha Abbe) graduated from college last Saturday, and we got to be there! We drove from Omaha to Midland to join everyone in her grad celebration. Larry(her dad) showed us the sights of Midland and we discovered that they even have a drive through liquor store! Those always come in handy in college towns!


We also got to see Adam and Deanna and their sweet little Alisyn. She just turned the big 1 and calls everyone "puppy".

Nebraska Trip-

Adam and I drove to Omaha last Friday morning to spend time with friends and fam. We stayed the night at Crystal and Erik's place and got to go to a baseball game with Scott(Adam's best man in our wedding). These pictures have been posted for Scott. ;) Good times...

House pictures continued...

Pictures for Mom-

Hi mom! Finally took pictures of our place; the rooms we have re-done at least. The bathroom shown is the one you saw in the demolition pictures, in a previous post. All we need in it now is to install the tile we already bought, and put in the toilet. I like how the chocolate brown turned out. The shower curtain was on sale for just $9.99, and was my inspiration for the colors.

I love my red living room, which was a labor of love to paint(thanks Adam, Valerie, and me!) Adam thinks it is lacking a big screen TV in the center, but if we did that, we wouldn't have been able to enjoy the nice, cozy fires we enjoyed this winter. We had more than enough fire wood due to the aspen trees we cut down in our yard(don't worry; still lots of trees left). Adam had fun with dad Kraus and the chainsaw. Boys...

My kitchen is my favorite room so far, though. I spend most of my time there, often doing homework and art projects at the table I set up in the center of the room. I also enjoy cooking in the oven that Dane so painstakingly cleaned up for me. Its the only thing we kept when we ripped out the kitchen. Dad Eastlick and Dane came last July, and helped us remodel the kitchen. New laminate floors, cabinets, fixtures, paint, appliances, and even a new fridge that they drove here on a trailer! I need to upload a picture of the room before...MAJOR improvement!

Last of all, our bedroom- This was the room we finished first, and lived in when all of the other work was going on. With a neat vaulted ceiling, and lots of closet space, we like it. However, I think the kitties think the bed is their own. They snooze on it all day, and save their energy for night time. Will we ever get on the same sleep pattern!?!

My Little Garden!

I am having so much fun growing veggies, herbs, and lavender in my kitchen! Its still a bit cold to plant outside here, but Adam and I are planning to do a garden in our backyard this summer. Look at my cherry tomatoes! They are really growing now, and I can't wait to see what else does well. Any tips on gardening will be greatly appreciated. :) Also, what can I freeze, so we can enjoy fresh goodies during the winter?

Our new house-

Whew! I think I am almost caught up all the pictures I have been meaning to show everyone! Here are pictures from our house we bought a year ago, and are still in the middle of remodeling. I am looking forward to taking a break from school this summer so Adam and I can work on more projects.

Here is a look at our current project. We had fun doing demolition on our hall bathroom. :) All it needs now is new tile. Finished project pictures to come!

Mexican Riviera-

Adam and I went on a Cruise with Adam's parents, Laura and Charlie. We got to go to the Mexican Riviera. It was the best spring break ever!

Lucky and Charm Kraus- We love our kitties!

More Wedding-

Wedding Pictures-

A fun surprise...

I'm having fun posting things! Here are the BEAUTIFUL flowers my mom had sent to me for our wedding anniversary. Hard to believe it will soon be our 1 year! In order to make sure all the flowers in the bouquet were in season, she had them made up a month before 6-7-8. It was a fun surprise showing up for work at the flower shop and seeing that the flowers on my work station were for me! Thanks again mom!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's day to all the wonderful mommies and mommies-to-be out there! Your kids are very lucky to have you!

Engagement Pictures

Here are some engagement pictures that were taken last year(before our wedding ;)) by my Uncle Dave, my mom's brother. He lives here in Denver, and we had a fun day of driving around the city, looking for good pictures!

I'm finally a blogger!

I have been meaning to get my own blog site started for years, so here I am finally! This blog was finally created during me procrastinating during finals week, here are Denver Metro College(here is a picture of my school!). I have a 2 hour break on campus, while I wait for my night class. I usually do homework during that time, but my brain is just too fried to do anything else. This blog serves as my form of relaxation and a chance to do some non-school writing. ;) So far, I'm liking it very much!
