MAD!

Image
Today about 4 hours ago we got curbing! Yay finally we can start the garden and the planting. My dad recommended  Accent Lawn Border s.   When your in the construction biz you know who is good and who isn't and these guys are fantastic! Frank came over and check it out he showed me that someone had stepped on it in 3 places. Yes I am fighting mad. Pissed actually. I called up Accent and he told me how to fix it, he is coming back in a few days (this is where he will blow off the silver look and leave the texture and seal the color) and will fix it then, but for now he told me to do my best. I got out the water and butter knife and scraper and worked away. Then I called Mike. Tomorrow I'm going to wait and watch and see who cuts through my yard, I measured the shoe size and I'm guessing its a Jr. high kid that got off the bus.  Pey fell asleep out in the sun chilling with momma. In a week we will dig it all out and replace the...

COUCHES!

Image
I will admit I've been dying to get new couches....  The couches we have had well they are college bachelor pad couches.... I don't have a pic of the blue one sadly, but you get the idea... We just moved into our new home in LEHI!! I said the first thing I want are new couches! And guess what we got!!! NICE NEW HUGE LEATHER COUCHES!!! I should have taken a pic with all of the guys sitting because these pics don't do it justice as to how big they actually are! Were still in the process of moving in but you get the idea!   Mike said- Nikki's the best "Couch Lady" ever! 10:10 PM Jul 18th via txt I was hoping this nickname was going to die after I got amazing couches. Nope! Now its just worse ;)

OUR HOUSE!

Image
April 17th is the day we found out we are adding to our family! It was also the day we found out they ACCEPTED OUR OFFER! We are closing on the 10th of JUNE!   It is in LEHI ! Far away from Provo! If you guys want the address email me. Were up by Cabelas and Thanksgiving Point! I can’t believe we are going to have a house! I have no idea what we are going to fill it with…. I don't have very good pictures yet, but don't you worry in 2 weeks I will!!! Some of my favorite things about this house are: 1. The stone on the house you can't see the detail of it, but I love it! 2. The storage and the space! There are closets everywhere! 3. The double sinks in the bathroom! We don't have this in our house now and oh how I missed it. I did at my parents and it was nice having separate sides away from boys!! NO MORE WHISKERS IN MY SINK!!! 4. It backs to a park! When we get dogs they are going to love it! Bring on the BBQS! 5. Jetted Tub! I love my baths! 6. Hardwood floo...

The wise man built his house upon a rock!

Mike and I have decided to take pictures of the houses that we like. So we can build one that has all of the elements that we want.  Its strange how much we think alike. I LOVE IT!  There are four things on the outside  that I think my dream house will need. #1. Tree line drive way or house on top of a hill. #2. Columns of some sort! #3 Stone its all about the texture! #4 White picket fence! #5 Balcony's of some sort defiantly one from our bedroom window. Decks can be included here as well, I like having a place to sit and watch the world go by.  As for the inside of the house that's a whole nother post! Mikes first pick he loves little houses! This is his favorite house in PG. He wants to have some projects that he can fix up and this is where he would love to start. Some reason I just really like this house! I feel this connection to it. Ha Ha Ha (Its my parents house) In the fall its hidden. Not to mention the nice deck we have behind the h...

House Update & Valentines!

Image
M ike and I went and saw the inside and the back yard at our new house!!! I realized I have No furniture, well I guess we have a little we have a huge nice bed and three dressers. So guess what I did today… I bought him a big desk for the extra room and I bought a black leather couch. He doesn’t know about the desk yet I wanted to surprise him, but we looked for couches together. Everything is coming along so great. We are so lucky well I am the Luckiest! So now we are just looking for a dryer (we have a washer) a kitchen table and chairs and a love seat and something to put the T.V. on. We don’t have it yet, but Mike has the one he wants all picked out. Of course he does like that is a big surprise!?! . Oh oh I forgot to tell you all about Valentine’s Day! I had to work at IHOP from 6-11:30 and Mike came and surprised me with a dozen roses!!! Then I had to work at Iggy’s at 12-4 and he came again with another dozen! I was so happy if you know me then you know I LOVE flowers!! H...

Do you want to Good news or the Bad news?

Do you want to good news or the bad news? Okay good news first. We have found a house!!! It’s a quaint little thing and I love it. It has two bedrooms so we won’t have to worry about me taking up the whole closet. He will just have to change in the extra room ha ha or me. We will defiantly have to rocks that one (paper rocks scissors) I keep winning hopefully my luck won’t run out before then. I am so excited to decorate and go shopping with Mike for all the fun things we will need. Now for the bad news, its right in the heart of Provo……. If you know me I am a Ute fan all the way. Mike says “it will be humbling for me”. What is that suppose to mean? He says every one that lives in Provo or attends BYU isn’t a zoobie. I bet to differ. Even you Michael Wayne Hall and your love for BYU football is a little zoobie ish!! All in all I’m really just kidding I don’t mind the Y I love sports and I do cheer for the Y every time they play unless there playing the U. So really the bad ...
