The Craziness Continues...

So it has been a crazy month. Cory and I found, bid on and got our dream house. It is a colonial style yellow two story house with a fireplace, garage and huge fenced in backyard. We close on the 21st and we are so excited!! We will be in the Windsor Lake ward with Cory's brother Mike, and some other really great people. Even before we got the house, Cory and I both felt like that was supposed to be our ward which was a little hard because my best friends are in West Columbia. But at the same time it is easy because I know that is where the Lord wants us. Last week Cory and I went to want Mike and Jenn play softball with their ward team and met so many nice people, including the bishop and it was just wonderful. I think we are really going to love it there! The house needs some work, but nothing we can't handle. Basically just some paint, new carpet and updating. I wish I had a picture to put up but everytime we go by, I have left the camera at home. Hopefully I will get some up soon.
We have also gotten a dog. I have not decided yet if this was a mistake. He is very cute but very hyper and crazy. He likes to bite which is probably his worst quality and I think the process of potty training needs no explaination. He is a Siberian Husky who we have called Warrick (too hard to say), little dog (when we hadn't thought of anything else), Grendel (which is reserved for our first mastiff) and finally Lupin (we are sticking with this one, even though I sometimes still call him little dog). He has his aborable moments which helps when he behaves like a terror. I think it will be a lot better when one of us moves into the house and we can let him romp around in the backyard for a while. It is defintely good practice for being parents, one day in the not so near furture. :)
Lupin's two personalities: super cute and super vicious. And yes, that is my arm. It is fine now though. :)

He hasn't quite gotten the posing for pictures thing down yet. :)


Today we checked two big items off our to do list. We had our engagement pictures taken which was super fun! Naomi was great and I am so excited to see them! After that we went by H H Gregg to check out their Labor Day sales and ended up purchasing all of our appliances! We got a great deal and some really nice things! They are going to deliver them for us the week after we close so we can start making dinners and washing our clothes over there while we work on the house! :) Things are working out so much better than I had ever imagined and I thank the Lord every day for such wonderful blessings in my life!

That sounds awesome Emily! I am so excited for the both of you!! You are quite the busy one, but soon enough you will be relaxing in Disney and coming back to a nice and comfortable home! I can't wait to see it!! If you need any help with anything I can do anything but paint because I am nursing. Well, I love you and hope to see you soon!!

Hey!! you posted!
It was fun yesterday and it sounds like you got a lot done! Congrats on getting all of your appliances! That is a huge load off, knowing that you can actually cook, and (ahem) do dishes with a dish washer that WORKS! It will be so nice to have your own home!

I can't wait to come see it...and by the way, Lupin is adorable and i can't wait to meet him either! (well...I CAN wait until after he gets past his biting spell...)
love you,
Na
