Update

so what have we been up to?

* We have begun having date nights. Monday nights are officially our going out nights. I have been so excited about not cooking on Monday's and also being able to get out of the house with Aaron. If anyone has any free date ideas, I would love to hear them. We figured we had to do something since church softball is over! =)
* We found alot of mold in our kitchen- My dad is amazing and he came over to check out/fix the mold that was in our garage. Turns out is was in the back of most kitchen cabinets and smelled terrible. My dad has been working on Saturday's to rebuild our cabinets. So I have been getting to see my mom and dad alot! I love it.
* I was diagnosed with GERD after not feeling well for a week. I was having trouble swallowing and was having arm and chest pain...after a week I thought my "sore throat" just wasnt going away so I went to the doctor's office, only to find out I have some kinda reflux problem that was caused by asthma, which was "possibly caused by mold" NO FUN, but I am feeling better.
* We bought some beautiful appliances, because when you take out cabinets, you must break countertops. We chose new countertops! and decided to replace our freestanding oven with a wall oven and cooktop in black! and a new over the range microwave. I cant wait to see the final product.
* Speckles has been allowed to stick around on the front porch. Harmless little kitten eats a lot, but other than that she is great! She just sleeps on the porch and rubs up against the screen door, while Abby sits inside hissing at her on the other side.
* we found free Iris' on Craiglist and filled up the flower beds a little more. We love Craisglist! Aaron found these plants and his family went and got them for us!! We planted the flowers and hope to see them bloom next year. They do make our flower bed look fuller.
* We got to see Aaron's family. We went over for lunch a couple Sunday's ago. We had so much fun. We haven't been able to go for a while b/c we have been so busy with the house and gas is so expensive.
* we went to my grandma's house for a birthday get-together and got to see all of my family. We got to show everyone pics of the house, and eat lots of good food.
* we have enjoyed having dinner guests with our dining room (that is now overflowing with dishes from the cabinets that had mold, but will soon again, be in working order.)
* we have been watching lots of disney vhs's that we found on Craigslist. I love Disney movies! and did I mention, we LOVE craigslist. We got 30 disney VHS's which seem to have terrible quality on a projector screen according to Aaron.
* I got my haircut again, even shorter, I love it. Aaron's status is still pending.

I will get pics up soon of kitchen renovations and maybe even the haircut.
