Engagement Photo Shoot

I know this is a little late.

I had such a great time at our photo shoot. I had to practically drag Tim out to do it though. He asked "why are we doing this, what are we going to do with the pictures, why are we doing this" haha! It didn't take long after we got there for him to relax and have a little bit of fun. I kept saying "what next" :) I was ready to go back out the next night and do it again! We both are so happy with the way the photos turned out. Colleen really did an amazing job!! I got great reviews from people that I work with - they were asking if she was going to do the wedding photos as well. :) I was a little unsure of the location at first, but I don't think we could have chosen a better spot! I LOVE the gravestone pics!!

interesting-ly enough...

Nothing says happy-good-mood like a sunny (partly cloudy) warm Saturday! mmmm <3 I had to babysit this morning and got home around 12:15. Tim had the dishes done and had made screens for the bedroom windows and kitchen window. YAY* We finally have a cross draft from the kitchen through the living room! We went to Lowe's and checked out carpet, trim and storm doors (ours really need to be replaced). We also bought groceries - i love a house full of food! Tim's out digging up rocks from the backyard and adding them to the rock wall. haha!

Tomorrow Karen is going to come over so we can plan a girly long weekend to Hampton Beach this summer. We are also planning a trip to visit family on Long Island we haven't been in over a year so it'll be nice to visit.

It's been almost 4 weeks since Tim quit smoking!! So proud of him!!

So, I lied...

So, we didn't exactly end up going with the orange. We had bought the paint quite awhile ago and I could have sworn we had decided to get the orange, but I guess Tim went with this blueish color instead. We finished it all up tonight. Lew will be over this weekend to do the wiring. Hopefully next week we'll do some carpet shopping! Tim was getting a little annoyed with me tonight because I was friggin' off too much! :) I was just trying to have fun - come on!! haha*

Basement Room Update

Feeling Super pumped! Lew came by today and finished the sanding downstairs. Tomorrow I'm going to clean up the room and wipe down the walls so we can start painting. Once the paint is done then Lew will come back and put the outlets in (which will be next weekend if Tim and I get the painting finished!), then it's carpet, trim, and the door needs to be put back on. We're so close!! YAY* I can't wait to get Tim downstairs so I can have the purple room!! We've picked out an orange color (i think it's like a burnt orange) for the room downstairs - it'll be fun! We don't have any carpet yet, but I think we're going to go with a dark gray color. We've been talking about going couch shopping. Honestly, we don't have the money, but our futon/couch is so uncomfortable and since one of us HAS to sit on it at night it's time for an upgrade. Just to note I'm the one who gets stuck on the couch at least 6 nights a week! And then we'll just stick the futon in the purple room. CAN'T WAIT!!!
