Life's A Dance

That's right, spell it! F-U-R-N-I-T-U-R-E!!! We are super excited to finally have REAL furniture in our house. Now I still haven't gotten Karl to do any remodeling yet, :), but atleast we were able to get the furniture. Here is a before shot: And here are some after shots: Boom Baby! I'm afraid to even sit in them. :) Not really. Kiana still doesn't know what to do about them. :) Well, need to get ready so I can go to bed and be ready for school!!! :)

Karl and Nat are on their way back to our house with . . . OUR FURNITURE!!! Pics to come. :) We are so excited!

You heard it . . . Kiana lost her first tooth. I totally freaked out! Yesterday she was chewing on her bone and there was some blood on it but it didn't really phase us. Then today I hear her chewing on something really hard that kept hitting the floor so I went over there and there it was, her first lost tooth! So crazy to me! She is growing up so much, in more ways than one. I tried picking her up Thursday morning and I could barely get her off the ground. She is getting HUGE!!! :) Let me tell you, this week has been such a long week! It seemed like it just trudged on and would never end but here is the weekend so it did finally ended. :) I really enjoyed that 3-day weekend but it really messed up my week. So, we didn't get our furniture yet, so we are hoping that this Friday will be the day. :) Sorry, nothing else really exciting to report. Hopefully soon we will be able to boast about our AMAZING fence and furniture. :) But, until then . . . see ya!

Doesn't is just seem like that? I cannot believe that this week is already over. It is sooo crazy to me. I was hoping that this semester would go by pretty fast but this is just silly. :) Let's see, what happened this week? Hmmm . . . wow, I cannot even think. :( We went over to Blake & Apolynne's and ate some dumplings and played tons of games. It was sooooo much fun. We always have so much fun when we hang out with them. Wednesday night we went to our second Lve & Respect meeting and we really enjoyed it. Other than that we have just been chilling. I haven't really felt that well all week so I am ok with that. :) I haven't been sick or anything just didn't feel like myself. Taxes, taxes, taxes . . . woohoo!!! I wish that we could get our W-2s and all that business like right now but I guess we will just have to wait. We have some things plugged in but got lots more to go. I know . . . taxes??? How amazing is that? Not much I'm afraid but there real...

Yes, it is so true . . . we bought new furniture today! We are so excited! A couple months ago we went into Furniture Row, just after buying our house, and found a furniture set that we liked and went to finance it but were . . . duh duh duh . . . TURNED DOWN! Oh yeah, talk about embarrassing. SO we just saw it as God telling us that we need to wait which I am glad we did. Lately we have been having people over at our house and it's been a real pain just having our little bitty couch. I love that couch but it just isn't working for us. Just on a whim I went onto Furniture Row's site and saw a different couch set that I thought would work well for our house so we decided to go and look and just buy the two couches. We got there and looked at the set I found online that looked great on the site but after looking at it in real life we didn't really like it. It has loose pillows for the backing that you can move around and such and we didn't like that at all! We walked ...

We have accomplished a major feet (sp?) today . . . Kiana had her first play date! I felt bad for Nat & Mara as Maggie & Kiana ran through the home but I know that Kiana really had a great time. I really wish that I had a camera. Next time they get to hang out I will surely bring it. :) At first Kiana wanted nothing to do with Maggie. Maggie would go to say hey, or whatever dogs do, and Kiana would just ignore her and walk away. Mitzi wanted nothing to do with either of the dogs and I definitely don't blame her. Once Kiana got over her scared bit her and Maggie went to town, running thoughout the house, biting each other, pouncing on each other . . . it was very hilarious to watch. I cannot wait to get our fence in the backyard so Maggie can come over and they can just run and run and run!!! :) Other than that we didn't really do anything else today. We went grocery shopping and really had a good time doing that. Sure we could have gotten a lot more done but I'm gla...

Can you believe that I am blogging twice in one day??? Me neither! :) Today has been real great. I was able to sleep in . . . again . . . and was able to chill with my sister, run some errands, made pizzas and cookies and have done other things around the house. It's been a good day. :) Have you ever just sat and watched tv all day?? I usually don't do that but I have really had my share this week. I have been watching HFTV al ittle too much and have been looking at real estate and jobs everywhere (don't worry we are not moving or anything any time soon, not until after we get atleast one kid popped out and believe me that is not for a long time, too) and I really want to buy a house in Alaska!!! I have been looking around Seward and Anchorage, for both jobs and houses, and have been getting really excited. I know, I know, I get to excited sometimes but I love to dream. :) Well, Karl and I are both not really going strong with the whole losing weight thing but I have been w...

Yeah, I'm not sure how I'm going to get out of that habit. Oh, well. Well, here it is, our first blog of 2010. Woohoo! :) Life has been good. Tonight we went over to the McCarthy's and had a super great time eating spaghetti, watching Push, and playing Rummy. I just love spending time with them and just laughing and laughing with friends. I did not like how Karl had to leave to go to work :( but I can live with it. Atleast Amanda was able to spend time with us and is staying up with me. :) I have really enjoyed the school break and am not so excited about having to go back on Monday but what can you do? We both have been truly blessed this year, more than we can say: Karl's graduation in Dec 08, being able to spend time with my dad in Michigan for Spring Break, student teaching, Karl's first real job outside of college, getting our first place at Lakeshore, GETTING MARRIED!!!!, having an adventure in Alaska, gaining another neice, both of us getting hired (Tom Gree...
