December to Remember

First of all I would like to apologize for the chaos that is this blog.  I am not sure how to do anything fancy at all.  I just love how some blogs are so amazing looking and when you put your mouse over a part of a sentence that is blue it actually links you to somewhere else.  Will you find any of that here...no, but if some wonderful person would like to teach me, bring it on!

So, I am Emily.  I wanted to do something to help me remember things and memories I have.  I thought about a journal but decided against it.  I love the thought of a journal, just like I love the thought of getting up early, putting on a wonderfully comfy robe, sit at my dining room table with a cup of delicious coffee and read the paper with my husband sitting across from me.  But that shit is not happening.  My mornings look like the flight of the bumble bee, I should be in the Guinness Book of World Records for how fast I can move and how much I can accomplish from the time I get up to the time I walk out of the door.

Here is a little background for you. 

• November of 2008 Beau and I buy our first house
• January 2009 Beau and I get married

• August 2010 Beau and I move back to my hometown and he gets his master's
• December 1 2011 I move back to the Neaux-la (Nola/New Orleans) area and start working
• December 1 2011 we sell our house back in my hometown and Beau joins me

We are currently living with his sister and her fiance' and their 5 cats, and our 1 cat, Fred. 

Fred is the love of our lives.  That is him doing his George Costanza. 

**Side note:  I get off subject and side tracked more than most, so I apologize.

We are in the process of building our first, eh, second house.  (long story)  So far we have met with the builder one time: picked a plan, rearranged the plan, and again, and again, and again, picked paint colors, picked what the interior door would look like (4 panels, 6 panels, 2 panels --we went with the 2 panels) and we also picked what the color of the window frame would be.  You know that thing...

On this picture it is white, it is what separates the panes of the actual glass.  Well we put a very dark bronze color for ours.  I let Beau pick that, I keep going back and forth whether or not I like the color he picked.  Those things were kind of boring, I can't wait to pick out the more fun stuff.  I already told him to not put up any of those sheet mirrors, I plan on going to some place divine aka ross/marshall's/tj maxx and getting some framed mirrors for dirt cheap and putting those up! 

Beau wants brick flooring in the kitchen so the builder said any money we save from not putting the mirrors up he will apply towards the floor.  Yes please!

I recently became addicted a member of crack Pinterest.  I can't wait to use all the cute ideas for our new house.  Whenever my builder ask me what I like, I always send him some kind of Pinterest picture.  I think I am going to create him and account to follow me just so that we are all on the same page...my page :)

Yesterday they delivered the dirt.  A big ole pile of dirt and we couldn't be happier!  Time to get this show on the road, 6 cats, 1 litter box, well there is 2 but Fred feels the need to go along with the crowd and use the communal potty, anyway, it's a lot of poo none the less.  I guarantee my boy goes the most.  Poor thing takes after his dear old dad :)

But I just know we are going to have the best time living with Beau's sister and her sweet soon to be.  They are so much fun, and we love doing the same things.  We are very lucky that they have invited us to stay with them while we are going through the building process.

Well that is enough for one day.  Have a great day!  Our besties are getting married tomorrow so we will be back in my home town!!  So excited!
