Tour of our new home!

I just realized that I hadn't taken any photos of our house post-construction. I would like to say that this is real life and my house isn't pristine. Please take note and no judging! Shall we begin: 
Here is our entry way. 

Dining room

Living room

Here's where the no judging part comes in. Kitchen. 

Other half of the kitchen. 

1/2 bath at the bottom of the stairs 

Laundry room at the top of the stairs

Master bedroom

Master bathroom

Other side of master bathroom. 

Bedroom #2. This will eventually get organized into my sewing/craft room. It will also be the nursery when the time comes. 

Bedroom #3. We use it as the office. 

Bedroom #4. The guest room. 

Media room. 

Media room. Hubs used my scarf for the USA v. Panama MLS soccer game we went to this summer as decoration. This is his sports themed room. 

Media room

Media room. Everything hanging has been signed. 

And that's our home! We still have some decorating and organizing to do, but we have the rest of our lives to do it. 

My favorite parts are the media room and the master bathroom. I love using that bath tub!

2013 is going by so fast


Can't believe it's already November! This year is flying by!!

Vacation was fabulous. I did not want to return. It was so great to be in 80+* weather. It was NOT fun to come back to Washington State to this:


Total buzzkill.

Here are some photos from my trip:


My cousin's wedding in Darlington. This plantation has been in the bride's family for...ever? Absolutely gorgeous. 

First dance of the happy couple!
Driving across the border into Florida and you get fresh squeezed orange juice!
Our condo in Orlando. 
Tree of Life at Animal Kingdom
Me at Magic Kingdom

My brother and oldest nephew watching the characters outside Magic Kingdom. The boys did amazing at Disneyworld. Not one meltdown and both boys had ear infections, the youngest had molars coming in a Luke (the one above) is autistic. 
Grandma pushing Warren on the swing. 


Also, since I've been home, I've been cooking a little just to clean out our pantry and fridge so I can stock up on groceries sometime this week. I've been slacking, but this is what I've made lately and it's delish:

Pulled pork stuffed sweet potatoes - The Novice Chef

Baked pumpkin pie oatmeal - Budget Bytes

Cheesy Chicken Bacon Broccoli and Rice - Kevin and Amanda

I also have this in my crock pot for tonight's dinner. We'll see how it tastes!

Today I do day 4 of Insanity. I am so sore from the first two days, I could barely do my workout last night. Hubs has done this workout program 2 times all the way through already and is starting his 3rd time this week. He says that the workout I do tonight will help my sore muscles...I hope he's right. I can't pull myself up the stairs anymore! I'm okay when I'm walking, it's sitting down and getting up that has been killing me. I feel good though, have more energy, which is what I really wanted. That and a 6 pack....
