So do you like my awesome orange vinyl tile??

So classy isn't it??? Okay, not so much. My beautiful house is almost done and they had to come along and RUIN it with this horrid stuff. And yes i know that it doesn't look that bad in the pic with the cabinets.. but that is because there is like a inch of saw dust toning it down. I just wanna cry. BUTTTT, the cabinets are almost done and looking awesome... so that made me feel a little better. And the rock outside is fabulous! They will put the color stucco on this week and make some finishing touches. Just a couple more weeks!!! YIPPEEEEEEE!!!



So this week Landon and I will be in Memphis... aka. the birthplace of rock and blues, also where I served my mission! My awesome parents are taking us and we are going to party with Zak, Noelle, and Emrie!! It's gonna be a party. See ya'll next week. Love, peace, and chicken grease. (that's what they all say in the south)

Goodness! your house is moving right along! I don't think the floor is that bad. Just don't let them put down orange shag carpet and you will be alright!
See ya tomorrow,
Mom

peace, love and chicken grease...love it! That saying is hilarious. Maybe it's chicken grease that's lubing up the elbows of your builders. Holy smoke that house has flown up! Hopefully the tile won't bug you too bad when it's all said and done. Lame for orange. It really doesn't look bad on camera though. bonus. :)

Silly... silly! It doesn't look horrible at all! I;m sure it will look different when its all done and decorated. What can you do about it now anyway? I really can't believe it is almost done! Are you going to die not being able to see it while you are here? Oh well! You get to see us! Yahoo!

I can't believe how fast things are coming along. I think things always look different in an empty room. I bet you'll like it better when it's all said and done. I painted Kenzie's room BRIGHT pink and everone thought I was crazy!! But when I put in all her white furniture and hung up white shelves and curtains it came out so cute. Have fun in Memphis!

DANA DANA DANA!!! Oh, how I have missed you so VERY much! I think about you all the time, but didn't know how to get ahold of you. Than randomly I came across Ashley Abegglen's blog who had Noelle's. When I saw Noelles I was about jumping off my seat hoping you might have one. AND YOU DO!!! YIPEEE! I love you so much and miss you tons. You are sooo beautiful and I hope you are doing well.
Yipee!

it looks like it's coming along nicely...i'm totally jealous! But anyways, we had a scare with some blog stalking in our family, so we decided to go private. I want to send you an invite so you'll still be able to log on and see what's going on, so email me at kelsey_claire@hotmail.com

Hey guys! SO have you moved into the house yet? we need an update on it. I am sure that the flooring isn't that bad. Although, I am nervous for ours because we just went with the standard stuff that they give you for free because we werent in love with any of options they had so we plan on doing all new flooring once we move in.
Well I like seeing the stages of your house and what you guys are up too...so UPDATE!It is sad that this pretty much is our form of communication with anyone.
