My Jeep is for sale :(

It's been awhile....

My 2007 Chevy Cobalt..so cute!!!!

Hey everyone! Sorry its been so long since I blogged..Its been a whirlwind around here. We are getting ready to leave to go to Indiana, we leave this coming Thursday. We are excited and a little nervous at the same time. It will be good times though getting to spend time with my biological father and his wife, getting to know them better and a much needed vacation. JR and I have been sick the last week..nothing short of fun I tell ya.. I went to the DR Friday and he told me I had brochitis which was turning into pneumonia..LOVELY! So he sent me home with antibiotics and a pain killer... later that night my temperature had reached 104.3 and needless to say I was feeling HORRIBLE. I didn't want to move...Tami ended up taking me to St.Lukes where they put me on an IV, gave me some medicines to make my pain go away and my fever finally broke. Today is Sunday and Im feeling better, still sick, but definately not like I was. I hope it is completely gone by the time we leave for our trip. JR is doing better also, he never went to the DR (MEN!!) and decided to ride it out. Well, on a good note- I got a new car!! I love it! We still have the Malibu, but JRs cousin has taken it over, since she has the 3 girls and needs a good running car. I'll post some pictures of the new car..I haven't really driven it a lot since I got sick shortly after, but I couldnt be happier with it. We got a good deal on it, and it is something I really like. We are trying to sell our Jeep so that JR can get himself a boat. He has wanted one for awhile now, so hopefully we can get it sold. Well I think thats it for now..I'll have more to update on when we get back from Indiana. Take Care All!!

Here are a few pictures..The kitchen is the only room that we really have put together and finished. I will post more as they get finished up!! Enjoy!

What a nightmare..but we did it!

Where should I even begin with the whole house thing. This past weekend was a NIGHTMARE, but as of today we got it all pretty much cleaned and put together, well the inside anyway. There are still some stuff that needs cleaned and some boxes that need put away, but hey, we arent Superman! LOL It will take a few days to get it all done. The old owners didn't have all of their stuff out until Sunday afternoon. We had already brought everything except our bed and computer over on Saturday, so we were pretty much just playing the waiting game. They finally got everything (well not everything) but everything they were taking, out. They left A LOT to clean, and A LOT of stuff they left there too. The fridge/freezer was full, plus drawers, closets etc.. They even left their 2 cats. So we spent most of the day Sunday getting rid of everything they left so that we could clean and get our stuff put away. Yesterday I took off work at 1:30 and J.R. and I worked our butts off until 11pm getting things done. We have our livingroom pretty much done, our kitchen too. Tami's room and bathroom was the first rooms done, so she is ready to move in. Tami has been there since Saturday also helping. She has been a HUGE help. Our room needs some work, as that was the previous owners bedroom/office/smoking place. So the walls need cleaning. I dont mind doing the cleaning and stuff...it actually makes me feel better knowing I cleaned it how I want it and know that it is really clean. It just takes time is all. I am going to take some pictures tonight and hopefully get them posted on here. You will be surprised how much of difference there is!! Our doggies LOVE our new place.. they are so happy to be inside with their mommy and daddy. They get SO much love and attention now. They have adapted to the new baby and so all 3 of them have actually been really good. We have had a few accidents, but that will just come with time..Thank God for Pergo flooring! We are planning to move Tami in either this weekend or next. She doesn't have much so it will be a breeze to move her in. Well, I will be posting pictures like I said, soon!
Until then,
Dustie

Ok so Im going to try and post some pics of the new house. Keep in mind these are pictures of the house with the current owners still living there. I love love love my friend Kelli, bless her heart, she just doesnt know how to decorate! LOL. I just wanted everyone to get a general idea of how it looks. I will definately post more before and afters.

Craziness!!

Well, I finally have a minute to write a few lines about the craziness that has been going on the past week or so. We have been trying to get things in order to move next week and I didnt really realized just HOW MUCH needed to be done..from picking out paint to getting the couches cleaned to having cable/internet hooked up...and everything in between. Have I mentioned we haven't even started packing yet? J.R. and I took on a favor for the people we are getting the house from..they had 2 MinPins that needed good homes, so being the 'dog whisperers' we are.. sigh...we were on a mission. We finally had a lady who swore up and down she wanted them both..so at the begining of the week we went to pick them up and drop them off. All was well right? Wrong..she told JR the next day that she was so afraid of them she wouldnt even go out to their kennel to feed them. Another sigh. I just have one question? If you are deathly afraid of dogs why would you agree to take on 2? The question remains unanswered. So...here we go again..to find them ANOTHER good home. So I get ahold of a friend of mine I used to work with and she says "YES I WANT THEM! Bring them over!" So we say GREAT! and head over. Not even 10 minutes after we leave her house, she calls. Apparently her 2 Rotweilers werent too keen on these little dogs and thought they were dinner. So here we go AGAIN...turned around and went back to get them before the poor things were torn to shreds. So ... we ended up taking the poor doggies back to their original home and told her we would keep looking for a home for them. That night JR tells me he has a lady at work that is very interested and definately wants them..both. YAY! So we go the next day, load them up and head to her house. JR calls and she tells us " Umm..can I call you in a little bit?"... UGGH! So you can imagine our frustration by now..and these poor doggies being taken from place to place and scared out of their mind. So I start calling some other people who "might be interested".. I get voicemail. So we drive around a bit, trying to decide what to do. Finally JR calls the lady instead of waiting for her to call back and tells her we will bring them by so she can 'look' at them. (Who doesnt fall in love with a dog after seeing them right?). I'm happy to say it worked out. She took both of them and so far, cross our fingers, things are going great! We decided we probably wont be doing any favors anytime soon, of that sort.
Now that that dillema is over with, now we can concentrate on our house! I bought JR a 42" LCD TV for Valentines so that is being delivered on the 29th. Also that day the cable/internet is going to be hooked up. The next day the carpet/upholstery cleaner is coming to clean clean clean away! We are supposed to go in on Friday also and start painting..Im not sure how well that is going to go with everything being delivered/installed..but who cant work around a little paint right? :0)
I am borrowing a truck and trailer from work so hopefully we can cut our trips back and forth in half. I thought maybe we could do it in one trip (the trailer is huge) but Im starting to think we have a lot more stuff than I thought. I guess I should start packing soon...
Its going to be pretty hectic this next week or so, but I will try to blog atleast once with a progress report. :0) I will also be posting pics as soon as I possibly can.. Oh and thanks Mom for the gift certificate for a massage (she got me for Christmas)..it is being used the week after we move! Im sure it will be needed!!!!

Mourning A Loss

I lost my best buddie the other day.. I am so sad. He was such a good boy and he will be missed dearly. He was not a dog, but a family member and he had almost 7 great years with our family. I know he is so much happier now, but I cant help but want him here with me still. I love you Scamper and you'll always be my favorite buddy. Sorry I didnt make it in time to see you before you left us..
