I cant believe its here...I dont feel ready :)

Can you believe it?!
WE CLOSE ON THE HOUSE THIS WEDNESDAY!
For us living out of boxes this whole time, I feel overwhelmed with the need to pack. I just don't feel ready for it to be this week << time flys >>


Scott and I stopped by today and they have the kitchen appliances in, door knobs on, base board up, electric on, and deck built! << and one bathroom had my OVAL mirror put up >> The carpet goes in tomorrow and just final touches to the house and one last paint job and then the house will be ours officially Wednesday evening....eek! :) But we must be ready cuz this is happening...our sofa set is being delivered on Thursday and cable & internet soon after.

So if you love us dearly, Wednesday night & or Thursday evening will be a time to put your painting skills into action and Saturday will be MoViNg day! :)

Getting Closer....

I hate bad news...

Today was such a great day. Mom and dad just bought a pretty cool RV and they came down to London for their very 1st RVing experience. We hung out, took them to see the house, hiked a little and became OBSESSED with 24. Then at the very end of the night, I got a very unsettling text from a friend. One of Turpin's Alum took his life today and I just feel awful. Jay was 2 years younger than me, but he was pretty awesome. If you didn't know, I helped out in the Training Room along side the beautiful Amy Whitman and Jay was always the life of the party in there. He was a great athlete and friend and I just ask for prayer for his family.

House Update

we have...COLOR...and...FLOORS! :)

they have layed down the hardwood & tile, painted the walls, and put up the garage doors.

Our 1st house (still under construction)

We found this house a little late in the game so we dont have all the stages of it being built, but they have done so much so fast already in just a few days. Just the other day when we first looked at it, they had just put up the sheathing and now it already looks like this:


Welcome to our home and we hope you come stay for a visit...

Birthday Fun

This past weekend was a fun filled weekend....I wish every weekend was like this.

Friday---> fell asleep by 8pm << very needed >>

Saturday---> Hacker Brothers company picnic. It was soooo much fun. The owners are amazing. God really blessed us with a good company to work for. The owners themselves prepared & served the food. They had a ton of food, gift for the wives & enough door prizes for all the employees.
Then we headed up to Lexington to meet Randi & Warren. Their friend was playing in a band and we all went up to celebrate Warren's & Scott's birthdays by supporting him. We had great laughs and really enjoyed everyones company

Sunday---> time with the miss NICOLE ELAINE WALLACE
It was great catching up with her and Beth. We pretty much shopped as Scott just followed us around like a little puppy dog ;) No, we all really did have fun. We had lunch at P.F. Chang's (oh and breakfast at the amazing Dunkin Doughnuts) and spent the afternoon at the mall. We def. need to make more trips up to Lexington.

This up coming weekend is going to be exciting too! I got Scott King's Island tickets for his birthday and then sunday we are going to the famous Cincinnati WEBN Fire Works. Monday for Labor Day, we will be spending it at the wonderful Carol & Andy & parents :)

Google Cake

Today is Scott's 23rd birthday.
If you know Scott at all, all he does is google. Whatever information that comes out of his mouth is most likely learned from google.
So I had decided a few months back that I would decorate his cake to look like the google web page.

It looked really good....until the disaster...

Here's the story:
Scott loves his Fun-fetti cake mix, so I got him that. I always buy the amazing cream cheese icing but just recently we were invited to a birthday where the cake had that whipped cream icing....tastes just like cool whip << yummy >>
So he mentioned that icing and with myself enjoying that kind, I decided I would make that for him. We found the recipie and sounded easy enough...however...it apparently was not.

I made the icing and the consistency just was not right. We chilled it and did everything it said to do but it just wasnt right. But Scott was ready for his cake and so I went ahead and decorated it. Which it looked aWeSoMe! So then not thinking, Scott held it up to take a picture for the blog and facebook when all of a sudden, the disaster occured:

...sad day...sad day...
