You Should Be Here

Fog over the lake Sunday morning

Storm coming In

We have a tradition of stopping to watch the sunset everyday

We've been spending alot of time in Antique stores, Flea Markets, Boutiques, Furniture stores, etc. Here are a few of the things we've come up with:

A few little clips of our first family night at the Rockin W. We had an unexpected guest all weekend....

Weekend Update

It was so nice to spend the weekend in Glen Rose. The weather was amazing with sunny days in the mid 70s. I feel like we got so much done - working on the To Do list. I've posted a few things today, with progress by each room.

We were able to take both sets of bedroom furniture & all of the appliances this weekend.

Flooring Installation

Eric's Material: Pine


Before (original Teak flooring)
During

All done! He laid this in no time!

Faux cedar beams installed (2 of 3). These are a really nice addition to the room.

Everything has been placed, just not yet attached.


We took Monday afternoon off to go shopping. We headed south on highway 281, made many stops along the way at various shops, and found this table in Marble Falls.

Bathroom

Eric laid the tile last week, which allowed for water to be hooked up to the toilet, sink, & tub. We're still waiting on the shower head. The walls are all painted so we are ready to find a mirror & vanity light. I also had my first grouting experience - learning experience!

Master Bedroom

Once the carpet was installed, we were ready to move in & actually sleep very comfortably for the whole weekend. WHAT a big difference having a real bed to sleep on and a real sink/toilet/bath to use!

Can you see our HUGE smiles?

Guest Bedroom

Carpet was installed on Friday. We then finished painting the walls - a pale yellow on the regular walls & the metal wall has 'dry erase' paint on it. This room is just about done!

Yes Virginia- there is a toilet!

And it works!

I made it through the week - 2 tests & a paper due. Eric & I are going to spend a few days trying to knock out some serious progress on the house. Plumbing is hooked up for the most part. While we could take a shower, it won't be hot. The carpet is being installed Friday in bedrooms which will allow for furniture in that room. And the wood flooring will will also be delivered Friday for install.
Which will allow for appliances.

Eric did an awesome job tiling the bathroom floor this week. I'll post some pics next week.

1/2 Marathon Update

The Cowtown went well last weekend. I made my goal of 2 hours, at 1:56:37. It was so windy around the downtown area. My super husband was there to support me the whole way through on his bike as well as Cowtown Camera Girl with Flat Stanley in tow.

I'm glad that the race is over and the time change is around the corner. I'm going to try to get back on my bicycle for a while. Change it up a little.

My first round of tests begin this week at school & then there is spring break! I've actually scheduled a few vacation days to spend with Eric in Glen Rose. We hope to knock out a few things.

1) Finish painting
2) Have Plumber & Electrician back out to finish all of the 'hook up's', shower, toilet, fans, etc.
3) Have carpet installed in bedrooms & Eric will work on wood flooring in rest of house.

If we can get these things done, we can move in furniture! By the way, we love this furniture store in Dallas. Amazing finds!
