Sunday Get to Know You

If you could host a Reality TV show what would it be?

Good question! I love the Bachelor and Bachelorette but I'm not sure I could deal with all the drama of it. I think it would have to be something on HGTV. I am obsessed with watching every show on there and getting great ideas for the house. I don't really know if that is reality TV but at least a TV show.

Do you put on your seat belt before or after you start the car?

I put my seat belt on after I start the car and usually after I reverse. I don't really know when this habit started but I noticed I did it this summer every time I got in the car.

Shave or hair removal cream.

I shave my legs.

What's your favorite feature in the house.

At this point is it always the front entry. I feel this room grab's your attention and makes you want to see the rest of a house. Right now this is the main room we are working on in our house and I will post pictures soon to reveal this room. Plan is by this next weekend we will have it done.

What is your favorite fall scent?

Pumpkin and spice

What tv show are you most looking forward to seeing this Fall?

It is a toss up between Grey's Atonomy, Desperate Housewives, and Private Practice

Personal Shopper or Personal Chef?

I think I am gonna have to go with Personal Chef. I wish I knew how to make some really great 3-4 course meals.

What is the first word you think of when you hear Fall?

Wedding...Greg and I got married in the Fall

First Week

Well I survived the first week of 3rd grade with my new group of buzzing bees. This group is known for being all boy and very talkative. This week they have been angels and I am loving the group I have this year. I will say thought that I do check in on my students from last year quite frequently throughout the day and I have missed them more than I could have imagined.

Greg and I decided to replace the countertops in our new home. The previous owners had cultured marable in all of the bathrooms. Greg and I decided we prefered granite instead. Greg even did a DIY and took out the old countertops. Here are some pictures of Greg taking out the old and also what the new countertops look like. I also bought some art work for the guest bathrooms. I love butterflies and they complimented the fixtures in the house. Greg and I also decided to replace the fixtures in the house because they had bronze and nickel in the sub baths and we didn't like the fixtures pictures to come when we finish that project.






More to come!

This morning I am meeting with a good friend to help with some decorating advice. I should have some pictures to post this afternoon because the granite for our sub baths is arriving. Check back this evening!

Pictues of the House!

We are still working on making the house ours! Here are some pictures though! These pictures are from when the previous owners were living here!
