This house keeps us busy...










I haven't written in awhile because we have been quite busy with the house and "some" wedding planning (I really haven't done as much as I need to). Since I wrote last....

- My mom came to visit for about 4 days and helped us paint our ENTIRE house. It was great. We had so much fun and our house looks fabulous. The Faughts and Walkers really enjoyed my mom's visit. We were able to spend some time with everyone which was really nice. I hope she can come and visit again soon...hopefully next time she won't have to work so hard!

- We went to Nate's 10 year high school reunion. We had a good time hanging out with Geoff and Melinda (she graduated from Madison Academy with Nate) all day and Nate also got to see some old friends. It was crazy because we were the only couple there without kids or who were expecting kids. We told them that we will try to have kids by the 20 year reunion.

- Nate has become a serious handy man! I am sure many of you didn't know he had it in him, but he is quite the Mr. fix-it. This past month he has taken on the following roles...landscaper, yard maintenance man, pest control specialist/ bird killer, air technician, painter, plumber, electrician, and many more. Our house is looking better and better every day thanks to his ability to learn new things. We have been working so hard to make it this house our home. It has been so much fun for us. We are a great team.

- We went to our friends Andy and Bethany's wedding shower. Andy is a co-worker of Nathan's. They are getting married at the end of May and we are super excited for them. One thing I took away from this experience, I DO NOT want to open gifts in front of tons of people...I think I will feel like I am on fire because I will be 20 different shades of red.

- I have 1 more week of classes for this semester! YAY...I made it! I was planning on taking practicum this semester but due to my job and me finally saying enough is enough...I will be taking a break this summer by only taking one course needed for my specialization. This graduate degree feels like it is never going to end, but after a semester of working full-time and going to grad school full-time, I need a break!

I can't wait for summer! We are so excited to have everyone over to the lay-out and play in the pool. BYOT....bring your own towels :-)!
