I forgot!

Here are some pictures of a few things we have done around the house. There will be plenty more pictures this summer once I get the rest of the rooms done! Enjoy :)

Finished painting the porch, planted some azaela bushes.
We still need to pull up 2 of the trees.
I painted the bathroom green, hung a new towel holder, and a new mirror.

New curtain in the bathroom.

My china cabinet! It works beautifully in our dining room.
Mom bought this for my collector dolls when I was younger - now
it holds all my beautiful dishes and glasses. I love it.

It's been a while...

Sorry it's been so long since I've last posted some news. Things have been crazy busy with school and getting the house ready for our party.

We celebrated our 1 Year Wedding Anniversary on May 31st. I can't believe it's already be a year married - it went by very fast! We're still doing well! No complaints! We had a party to celebrate our anniversary and our new house on May 30th. Our little house was filled with many friends and family to share our joy. It was wonderful! Thank you to everyone who made the trip to see us! We had a nice BBQ and tiny bonfire in the backyard.

As we were cleaning out the garage for the party... we found a surprise in the garbage can - 2 baby kittens! They were just days old. We ended up keeping them in the garage and gave them a box and a few blankets to keep warm. Their mom kept coming in to feed them, but she moved them this week! So... we hope that they're okay. We haven't seen them in a few days. We wanted to keep one, but I guess it's for the better :)

I'll be starting the last week of school tomorrow :) I couldn't be more excited to be finished! It's been a long first year, and I'm definitely ready for a break. I went to Lake Compounce with my 8th Graders on Wednesday and they had their Semi-Formal Friday night. Both were a lot of fun. It's nice to see the kids outside of the classroom and really enjoying themselves! Their graduation is next Monday - which I'm sure will bring many tears! I will miss them... even if they put me through so much this year! I have become attached!

No job lined up for the summer just yet... I've applied to a few retail stores but no reply. We'll see what happens. We planned for me not to have a job, so money wise we're still okay for the summer! I'll just be bored out of my mind if I can't find a job! Fingers crossed...

Ryan finished his first set of classes with A's in Math and English! We were very excited. He starts summer classes next week - to add to the rest of our busy lives! He's taking another English class... should be easy with some help from his English teaching wife!

That's about it for now... Enjoy some pictures of our busy month!
