We have brick!

The front of the house is almost totally covered in brick now! Aaron picked out the darkest brick and mortar possible for the house.... I was a little hesitant but he absolutely loved it so that's what we got. We have actually both been really good about compromising so far given that our color tastes are pretty opposite! I was really surprised by how much I liked the brick he chose for the house. I think it looks SO great! Aaron and I spent the afternoon out at the house today. Once again, Aaron spent a lot of time cleaning while I spent a lot of time reading. Here are some pictures of the progress...  the brick should be totally finished tomorrow I think.

 About half of the brick is done.

Inside the house...obviously! That's the front door.

Welcome to the living room/kitchen!

October 23, 2011

The weekends pass by SO quickly! Aaron and I were both looking forward to this weekend because neither one of us had anything we had to do. Saturday we ended up buying new living room furniture which was exciting! Aaron found this overstock furniture warehouse here in Louisville that had great deals on name brand furniture. We will definitely be going back to LOW (Louisville Overstock Warehouse) if we decide to get any other pieces.  We pretty much finalized our decisions on paint colors for the house which surprisingly took us all of about 15 minutes to do. It is a good thing we have the same taste in colors!

The roof on the house is pretty much complete now. There is only one small portion of the roof that doesn't have shingles on it yet. They are supposed to start working on the brick tomorrow. Aaron and I spent a few hours out at the house today; Aaron is a neat-freak when it comes to the house so he spent a lot of time picking up things and sweeping while I finished some reading for school. My mom came up to Louisville today so she got to come see the house too!

Here are a few pictures from the weekend...

 I had to take a picture of these two because of their accidental matching outfits. haha!

 so cute!

 It is starting to look like a real house!

We have walls!!!

Its actually starting to look like a house now! They finished the sub floor last week and pretty much framed most of the house yesterday. The framers have to finish the garage today and then Aaron said they will probably move on to the roof. We are hoping it doesn't rain today so they can keep working. The framers are SO fast. Here are some pictures..!

Random Stuff.... :)

First off.... check out how cute this little dude is! My little cousin is up to a whole nine pounds now!

TGI...almost F! This week has been midterm week for me - next week is my fall break, if you can call getting 2 days off a fall break. But, I'll take what I can get! Aaron and I will be heading home for the weekend. We had to cancel the previously planned trip home to get our engagement pictures taken due to weather 2 weeks ago. We are planning to get those done Sunday night and thankfully the weather looks like it is going to be awesome! We are also going to head to Clarksville, TN to go to a tile outlet. I am definitely looking forward to going home and taking a small break from school/work!

In house news... things are definitely coming along! The lumber was delivered to the lot today and they began working on some of it. Sadly, we will miss out on the action tomorrow since we won't be in town. I guess it will just have to be a surprise for us next week! Here are some pictures...

Oh! And if you are looking for something unique to send someone - try Shari's Berries. I wanted to send something to Aaron at work to be sweet and you just can't send guys flowers - especially guys like Aaron haha. I found these online and thought they were awesome. They looked even better than I expected!
