As of Late...

House update... one word- ugh. But for reals it is coming along we are so close. We are to the fun part, decorating and making it our own! :)

Our cute front door with the address!

My only request... a red wall!

More pics to come!

Today we are taking a break

&& Catching the wake!

Grateful

We have been completely humbled by the help of our families. Remodeling our house has been a pretty overwhelming/stressful thing. We would be absolutely nowhere if it werent for our families! My mom has spent countless hours pricing things out making lists running back and forth everywhere just so we could start our project, that doesn't even include the hours she has spent painting tiling etc. etc I am amazed at the selflessness of my sisters. They have been over there during the day when we couldnt be there helping out painting doing all the jobs nobody wants to do and on top of that dragging around their children just to help us and making dinner for us when everybody arrives at night! We are so lucky! We wouldn't be near as far if it weren't for my brother and his awesome construction skills he is such a handy man and so motivated and lucky for us my other brother is a genius and he has knocked out our electricity in no time (which is a miracle due to the lame wall lights we had everywhere).! Austs parents have been great to come over and help when they have a free second, they are also re-doing there kitchen so they've been over their heads in remodel as well! We are just truly blessed. I don't know where we would be without family! Im grateful to have married into a grateful family as well as been raised with a great family! We have truly been humbled by all the overwhelming help and kindness we have received! THANKS EVERYBODY!!

Playing catch up!

Boy oh boy we have been sooo busy! I will try to catch you up on our simple but hectic lifes!

Awz: Busy, busy with school, yup summer school :( ! That hard working hubby of mine is taking 18 credit hours despite it being the summer! I'm so proud of him. He still works 3-4 days a week at Murdock and on top of that maintains good grades!

Jilli: Busy as well. Sometimes I feel like I dont have 2 seconds to myself! I work each day till 2 than go straight to school till 6 (which im beginning to love more and more)! Poor Austin has had to adjust to fast easy throw in the microwave kind of meals due to our busy schedules!

Together: We are loving married life and the adjustments that come with it! We closed on our house on May 12 and started reconstruction that weekend! If we werent busy enough with school and work, we sure are now. We rush straight over to our house to continue our project. UGH. Its been VVERRRRYYY LOOONNNGG days! We are truly blessed and grateful for all of our help from our families, we could have never gotten this far without them so THANK YOU!!

So... There is this boy...

And well, he kinda has my heart!

I consider myself one lucky gal to spend the rest of forever with him! Austin is the best thing that's ever happened to me. He has been my biggest motivator in going to school. He constantly makes me laugh, not just your everyday laugh, I'm talking about the peeing your pants crying uncontrollably kinda laugh! He's the hardest worker I know, he studies so hard in school and keeps himself motivated even when im right there begging him to leave hmwrk and come play!! He is loving, sincere, he has a strong testimony, etc, etc, he is perfect! He makes me the person I have always strived to be and for that I am forever greatful! I love this boy and I cant wait for our future together~
