Beginner's Luck

Well, since everyone else is "blogging" I thought I could try it too. I should have started this a long time ago as I would have definitely had a lot to talk about with planning our wedding and remodeling a house at the same time. It did lead to some crazy days and still does as our home remodeling project is almost done, for now anyways.

Andy and I were married on January 31, 2009 in Bowling Green. Below are a couple pictures from our wedding:

Since then and even before the wedding, we have been remodeling this house. And word to the wise, when you remodel an older home (in our case, this house was built in the 1930's) nothing goes according to plans. We were originally just going to redo the bathroom, put down new floors and paint. When we got more into it things were going wrong and in worse shape than we thought so we just completely ripped everything out and started new. When I have more time I will post some pictures of the before and after so you can see the changes we have made.

Right now we are waiting on our new countertops and a few finishing touches in the bathroom and trim of the house before we can move in, hopefully will be this weekend or the next. Another adventure for me, not so much for andy, is that I have lived in the middle of the city (Bowling Green that is) my whole life. I will be moving to edmonson county, 20 minutes from town. It will definitely be an adjustment but I'm sure I will love it once I get accustomed to everything. My big problem right now is the BUGS!! I have always heard that bugs in the country are bigger but this is rediculous! I am not even a bug freak but our house is invaded since no one has been living there for a while. Andy laughs at me because I have been on a rampage with big spray and bug traps and anything I can buy to get rid of these things! These bugs are just going to have to face it and find a new home once we move in!

For now thats all I have. I will post some pictures of the house and keep updating you on our progress as it goes. I will try to be more interesting in the posts to come!
