December 2nd Snow Storm

Here are a few pictures of the snow we got up here that led to the all joyous SNOW DAY!! :)

Thanksgiving!!

Dustin and I on Thanksgiving Day!! :)

And then our little family group that paraded around the neighborhood to visit some family in the neighborhood.

THE NEWLY ENGAGED COUPLE!! 

FAMILY PICTURE!

Our New Place AF (After Furniture)

So.... here it is!! Furnished and cozy as ever!!!

This is the outside of our triplex building! Here is our entry way complete with our wreath!

After you walk in the door, to the immediate right is the kitchen! As you can see, Baby RC is placed on the fridge so we can be thinking of and praying for him and his parents :)

To the left when you walk in is our living room! We fit the coach, love seat, and one side table. It turned out rather nicely! And it is right by our heater so it stays so toasty warm in here!

We found a way to fit our newer brown bookshelf in. It is straight ahead on the wall when you walk in the door. We haven't found the perfect place for the beautiful "E" for Evans from Ally yet! Still looking! :)

In the back corner of the house is our dining table which fits perfectly and we can sit normally at it comfortably!

Now moving on to our bedroom where we barely fit our bed and the two night stands.

In the corner of the bedroom we made a tiny little "home office" with our file cabinet and our printer.

Lastly, here is our washer/dryer and a picture of the bathroom! And yet again we have our brown curtain to keep the light out of the bedroom when one of us is getting ready while the other is still sleeping! It works pretty darn good! :)

Well, that was the GRAND blog style tour! Hope you enjoyed it! Can't wait for you all to come and get to see it in person some day!! :)

Our New Place BF (Before Furniture)

This is what our new home looked like before we added any furniture! 

This is the bathroom! We are excited about the drawers to store things in and we actually have a medicine cabinet that opens! The washer and dryer will also be crammed into this bathroom next to the shower! It will be a tight fit but definitely workable!

This is the side angle of the kitchen! The fridge is bigger than our old one, we have a gas stove, and there is way more storage than the last place we were at. We do, however, have less counter space to work on! And we had to buy a cheap step stool so that I can reach things because the cabinets are all really high.

This is the bedroom! the paint color is a light green color that we really like! the bathroom is to the right when you walk in and there is a closet to the left that connects to the living room as well.

And now... for all of ours (especially Maci's) favorite part - THE OUTDOOR AREA!!!

This is what you see walking around the building to the outdoor area

This is what you see once you are out in the open area

And here is the stream that is mostly frozen now but runs in the spring and summer time and has little frogs and fish in it! 

Well, that is it for now! I will take some pictures of the finished product in the next few days and post those on here as well!! 

Reliving the college days with NAU football

I helped one of my old college professors from NAU with a research project his past semester. For a thank you, he got Dustin and I tickets to an NAU football game and had a tailgate party before with brautworsts, hot dogs, chips, cookies, and hot chocolate because it was a little chili. We were sitting in the first row at the 20 yard line. It was fun to go back to the good ole' college days.

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Here is what our first real snow of the year made our "backyard" look like! Beautiful as always!

And we are supposed to get a few more inches tonight!

Maci's New Haircut #2

Maci got her hair cut again this week!! She is shivering all the time without her fur coat! And it doesn't help that it is snowing and cold outside!! :) She appreciates her sweater!
