new update no pictures ;)

hah! I have pictures like I have been saying for the last month, but I am too lazy to upload them on the comp. Actually, it's quite the opposite. I've been so busy! This house really keeps me on my toes. We've been cleaning, painting, decorating, organizing. Organizing our office/craft room was my big project this week. I took off the ugly mirror closet doors. I'm going to hang up some nice curtains in their place. The guest room in my next big project. The previous owner had a teenage daughter and her room (which is now our guest room) is painted HOT pink. While I do love pink and all the different shades of pink, it doesn't quite go with what I want for that room. The quilt I have in there has a yellow floral pattern on it. So I'm going to re-paint the room with a pale yellow. That room in is the front of the house and gets LOTS of sun, so that room will be very happy in yellows :)

So that is what I have been up to as of late. On Aaron's front, he has been work work work for the last two weeks. He only comes home on the weekends because he has to make sure his students are in bed and sleeping. Then he has to be there in the morning to make sure they all wake up, get ready and are at the chow hall on time. So since we live an hour away from his work, he just stays there at night during the week. This is only his first cycle of students, though. Once he starts his second cycle, he'll be able to come home most nights. If you don't know or if you haven't guessed by now, Aaron is a school of infantry instructor. Once these new guys (or kids cause they are all 18/19) graduate boot camp, they go to SOI to learn combat skills, then once they are done with that, they are sent out to the fleet they will be with for the next 4 years.  SO he is one of the instructors! It's a lot of hours that Aaron puts in, but he absolutely LOVES his new job. It makes me so happy when I talk to him on the phone at night and he tells me all these stories. It's like what you see in all the military movies. haha I love it!

Anyway, so that is what Aaron and I have been up to the last couple of weeks.

Hopefully, now since the office is organized, I can find time to actually sit down and upload these pictures.

Aright, I've got to put my adult cap on and pay some bills. haha Bye!

Happy belated 2011!

I have SO much to share, and SO many pictures to post. But between unpacking, painting, photo sessions, decorating, more unpacking, more painting, more decorating, and more photo sessions, there just hasn't been time. OH and then squeeze Christmas in there, and we've had a packed 3 weeks! Glad it is January though. Happy belated 2011! I think I'll try and post some pics tomorrow, but I don't want to make any promises. You can probably guess why....more painting. Our new bedroom set is arriving on thursday and I want our room done by then. We're painting it a calming gray.
One more thing...I am going to start a home renovations blog about all the things we do to this house...when I have time.
