A Mouse in the House!

I was officially traumatized in our new house for the first time. Two nights ago we were in the garage looking at the stair rail that Rob had just repainted when suddenly I saw something scurry out from under a box. I thought my eyes had played a trick on me. Before I could help it I was screaming like a 12 year-old school girl and running across the garage. Sure enough, there was a tiny little mouse in our garage. Rob was so confused as to why I was screaming until I told him where to look for the mouse and he saw it too. Luckily, he was my night in shining armor and chased after the poor thing with the extended paint roller poll and finally put it out of its misery. I hate mice! The garage is sealed up super tight and so the only way that we can figure that it got in was when we had the garage door up when Rob was cutting wood for our new closet. YUCK! Afterwords, Rob just laughed at me. I'll admit I am a little embarrassed that I am such a sissy when it comes to rodents...

In other news...moving day has finally arrived! We are moving into our house tomorrow. Although it will be a long and tiring day I am so excited!

Happy Anniversary!

I am proud to say that Rob and I have celebrated another year of marital bliss. June 17th was our FOURTH wedding anniversary. I can hardly believe that I have been married for that long! Okay, so it isn't THAT long, but an accomplishment nonetheless:).

What did we do on our special day? Well we played softball of course! That is what our evenings are spent doing in the summer when Rob doesn't have church meetings or we aren't working on our house. We even had a double-header AND won both of the games. It was a pretty fun night and we have a great team. After the games we went to one of Rob's favorite restaurants, Sonic. At 9:45pm it was one of the only places open. Although this may not seem glamorous it is so much fun to just hang out and be ourselves.

I must say that I could not be happier right now. Robert is the best husband and the hardest working guy I have ever met. I appreciate that he will do anything for me and for our future family. Everyday I realize that I love him more than the day I married him. I am so glad I married my best friend and will be able to spend forever with him. He is my rock and my support. For the past month he has stayed up late almost every night (sometimes until 1am!) working on our house and getting it ready to move in. It has been an experience painting our house and I must admit that I am pretty darn picky about things. Luckily he is such a perfectionist and so I know that things are done right. It is so exciting to begin this new chapter of our lives and have our own home. Here is to the next 50 years Rob! I love you! Here are a few pictures of the work we have been doing on our house.

This is our awesome yellow laundry room!
Here Rob is painting one of the bathrooms blue. I was a little worried at first but it turned out great.
This is my favorite room in the whole house! It is our red bedroom! I love it!
Here he is painting the accent wall in the living room. What a hottie!
