Sick

When I got home from work yesterday afternoon I got ready to meet a friend for dinner. Once I got out of the shower I felt off. I could hear that nasty rumbling in my tummy. Ugh. I knew it was some kind of bug.. I haven't been able to get out of bed since. I hate missing work and I had to miss today and ill have to miss tomorrow. This is definitely not what I planned for this weekend.

Little Abode

Last night C and I went out with the fam one last time while we were all together before Christmas. Since dad's birthday is approaching us he got to pick the place. So he chose Edison's. After dinner we came back to our little abode and C just had to have his friend Zac over to play Xbox on his new tv. Boys will be boys I suppose.

Today C and I went to pick up some furniture that was offered to us and then headed back to put some more things together with the house. Once that all seemed to be done it was time for me to go to the grocery store! Ugh even after spending a pretty penny on food our fridge still looks empty! I don't get it. Haha

We just finished watching The Campaign and now time for some Duck Dynasty. Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!

Thanksgiving Fun

This holiday weekend has been packed full. Thanksgiving day the Lauchner crew participated in their 2nd year turkey trot 5k. I must say I did not do as well as I did last year and am still feeling it.. After our lil run we headed to grandmas to stuff ourselves full! It is always so nice to spend the holidays with such a great family! After we left one grandmas we traveled to the next. There we stuffed our faces again and enjoys each others company.

Once we left Greenville it was time for the Black Friday festivities to begin! Yes I am a crazy Black Friday shopper. A friend and I met up at target at 9 and tracked down some good deals. A vacuum for me a nice knife set for her plus a few more snags we couldn't pass up. After waiting in line FOREVER we went to Old Navy to see what we could find. Although I was on the lookout for a nice tv for the new house I didn't get much luck. However, my brother had snagged a voucher from a friend who had been waiting in line at Best Buy all day and managed to get me a 50" Toshiba tv for the living room! And it was such a great deal! Thank you Cale! After hitting up Old Navy we decided to call it night.

Last night and today C and I managed to get some more stuff done around the house. Our living room actually looks like a living room and the kitchen is nearly complete. We still needs few things but we have come a long way! We still need to do some painting but we can hold off on that for a while. It is so nice to just relax and lay around for a while.

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving/Black Friday holiday!

1st Night

C and I spent our first night in our little home last night. My lovely parents and great friend Callie came over yesterday afternoon to help us paint the living room and bed room. I'm not going to lie I am not a huge fan of the living room color.. It looked ALOT different on the swatch then what it does on the wall. Oh well.. It will be staying until we decide to change it. Haha but the other room looks really good!

So while we were at it we decided to go ahead and get some stuff moved in. Our living room is still being worked on so the couch is just sitting in it still covered until the finishing touches are made on the floor. But we do have a bed and a kitchen table! Haha

This little place is definitely still a work in progress but at least we are through the hardest part.

Floors

Our floors are done as of today! However there are a couple boards in the living room that need to be fixed so those wont be done until next week. I will post pics of that room when it is 100% finished.

Below are the before and after pics of the bedroom floor. They look soooo much better! I can't wait to get in there and paint and start moving stuff in! I am hoping by this weekend we will have the majority of our stuff in.

As of last Thursday the Lauchner crew is signed up to get our trot on at the 3rd annual turkey trot 5k. I'm super pumped about it!! I can't believe it's already thanksgiving next week. This year has really flown by.

Painting

This past weekend C and I made an attempt to get a jump start on our painting duties at the house. The kitchen seemed like the easiest room to start in since we were keeping the color it already was just making a few tweaks. However once we got started little did we know what we had gotten ourselves into. Sunday we spent most of the day prepping and we finally got the entire room painted by that evening. Casey also had figured out the GFI plug in the bathroom which I was super pumped about! I'm so happy this little place is really starting to look like our own place!

Last night C and I finished up the kitchen by painting the base boards I can't believe how much cleaner the whole room looks! The kitchen is pretty much done, now onto the bedroom.

Back to Blogging!

WOW! I have been slacking in the blogging area lately.  I saw that my fellow co-workers Kar and Kel got back to blogging so I decided to jump on the wagon and do the same! I unfortunately have no pictures for this post but I promise I will for sure next post!

This past weekend C and I started working on the rental house my parents own that we will be moving into (hopefully soon).  After going and looking at it on Thursday we realized this is going to be quite the undertaking.  Friday night my mom and I started cleaning and then Saturday we majorly cleaned the entire upstairs.  The basement still needs quite a bit of cleaning. :(  We are hoping to get the floors refinished this week sometime and then possibly being able to paint next weekend and then on for the home stretch from there!

So I hope in my next post that I can share some of the progress with pictures.
