First Renos
We’re awesome. We are drywalling geniuses. haha We bought some drywall and decided we are going to pick away at our bathroom in the basement. We had all intentions of getting it done on the weekend but that never happened. Then on Monday we were going to invite a couple over to hang out and help us but by the time we figured out we were doing it and went on our walk it was too late to call someone to come over. So we decided to take it on ourselves. And it was pretty easy. We did it and I was/am so pumped about it. I miss having something…

Addictive
So this game is highly addictive. I’ve played for 5 min and got 15 or something… 35 more to go. But I don’t have time. The repair guy is going to be here in a minute to fix our furnace/ac…. yes, it’s a new house but whatever, it’s covered bumper to bumper for a year. It’s like they said when we moved in, “you are bound to find things wrong….just make a list.” Well, big thing. Turn on the ac and lo & behold no furnace. A short. A short that was easily fixed, the electricians messed up a ground outside on the ac unit so the guy is gone…

We have trees
So our desert…I mean backyard..it’s now just a little less barren. We have 2 trees now in the ground. Still nameless though. We may just go with a simple play on words and call them “Crabby” and “Debbie”. It’s kind of fitting since it’s a crab apple tree and a Deborah maple. But if we can think of something better, we will change it. It might just be temporary. But good enough for now. So without further ado, here is Crabby and Debbie. PS – The burn is nothing like it looks. It’s just red. No pain. Weirdest thing about it all…my face is still pale as it was 3…

Progress is at hand
Things are progressing. We’ve bought 2 trees for our back yard. A beautiful Thunderchild Crabapple tree and a Deborah Maple. I’ve never seen a Maple tree like it. It’s leaves look Bronze. They are green and this rustic purple that make it look purple. It supposedly changes an orange-yellow-red in the fall but it’ll be real subtle, if at all, because we don’t get the right weather to make trees look like trees back East. Oh well. I still love my tree. Oh yes, this crab apple tree is awesome as well. They are very hardy here in the Hat and I just love them this time of year. The…

Loving living in 362
So it was the first full weekend in our house with things, well the important things, completely unpacked. And what did we do?! Go to Calgary. And spent too much money I might add But it had to be done. I needed to get my bridesmaids dress for next month and we had to pick up a slipcover for our couch. That the drycleaner/seamstress had ruined. But if you are going to Cowtown might as well make the most of it and make our rounds. We had to go shopping and dining is a must. We can never go there without going into Old Navy and Williams-Sonoma. And we bought…
