A lot going on....

Well I might as well start with the biggest news.. We are headed to Vegas May 14-18 to get married!! We are very excited and cannot wait for the next chapter in our lives together. We will be staying at Bill's Gambling Hall, which is right on the strip. We will hopefully be getting married at The little Church of the West. Its a cute little church that caught our eye. We currently have no one heading to Vegas with us, but if anyone wants to come, feel free! We will continue to post about the wedding as well as the house.
We picked out carpet this past weekend. That "builders grade" stuff isn't very great! We upgraded the family room and master bedroom. We will be doing berber in the office and hallway, and stick to the "builders grade" for  the front bedrooms. They are making progress, albeit slow, on the house. We have a few rooms painted and the guest bathroom is all complete except paint. The master bathroom floor is all tiled, but not grouted, and the laundry floor is also tiled but not grouted. The 2 front bedrooms are painted, one is red and one is yellow. The laundry room is painted green and the office is white wainscot with blue walls. It all looks great. Lets hope its done within the next month.  Here are some pictures... enjoy!

time to order carpet

So next weekend Marcus and I can pick out carpet and light fixtures. Things are really coming along. Perhaps one more day of work on the siding. Then to the inside... adding the final touches. Hopefully we will be finished by May. Here are the latest pictures...
