I was talking to Copper last night, and I've decided he's the happiest he's ever been! Its all he and Margie have ever wanted is to have a backyard and lots of room in the house!
Makes me so happy!

MOVE IN! and BDAY!
Oh dear! I'm way behind!
We have carpet.
We have MOVED IN!!!!! - well WE have, not all of our stuff!!
2 weekends ago JD got 3rd place in his last mountain bike race of the season, making him Series State Champion for his category! That's my man!
After the bike race- JD and I rushed to Sherwin Williams to pick out an exterior paint color!! I'm kind of in love with it's bluish gray look. It's Sherwin Williams- Steely Gray.

Mrs. V and I were up pretty late painting the staircase spindles. I hate those things. HATE them. I was literally covered in paint by the end of them, I went into Wendy's and a man asked me if I left any paint on the wall? But they look so much nicer all white- Before they were white spindles wooden railing.
That Tuesday- WE GOT CARPET!
My good friend Morgan came over and helped me supervise. And unpack some boxes. Mr V and Dad headed to my apt to get ALMOST all of my stuff and put it on the trailer and bring it to our house! This is what our living room looks like currently.
I have to say it's the softest, fluffiest carpet, and its OUR carpet :)

Upstairs Bedroom- using to sleep in now!That night we put my bed, and 2 dressers upstairs, and crashed.
It was sooooo nice to wake up in our house that morning. We woke up and had coffee and let the doggies play in the backyard! It was a HUGE step! We are so happy to have "moved in!"
Copper didn't wanna wake up that morning!

Copper didn't wanna wake up that morning!That morning was interesting- I had my toothbrush, pants, and jacket at my house, but my toothpaste, makeup, and shirt at my apartment. I was very proud to have been fully dressed at work, and on time. Luckily now I have brought a lot of stuff over to the house now, and hopefully next week all my clothes!!!
Last weekend, JD and I went over to my cousin Meredith and Heather's house to watch the Bama vs. Ole Miss game and the AU vs FL game! It was a lot of fun and happy both teams won!! Their house is absolutely adorable!! I am so jealous of their furnishings and findings so far!!

Mixed Crowd :)
That Sunday we headed back to brookside for another cyclecross race! And I got to hang out with Sissy and Megan some more! 2 times in one month!! We need to start taking pictures of our spectating, and water giving. ( All my pics are on my real camera, will load later!)
Wednesday was JDs 27th birthday!! He celebrated by tiling the half bath, and riding his bicycle of course! :) We also had his whole family over for spagetti and meatballs. I still don't have my dishes at our house, so let's just say that was interesting. The patio furniture was in the dining room sitting on the paint drop cloth, but we were happy.
I am so grateful to have such an amazing man in my life, and so proud to call him my fiance. He makes me laugh, makes me smile, and truly makes me happy.
Happy Birthday J.D.! I love you!
Happy Birthday future-hubby!
Other things have happened in the house- and I am without pictures!
1. The Upstairs bath is FINISHED!! and BEAUTIFUL! Mirror molding, stained cabinets, new hardware, lighting and potty!
This was Mr. and Mrs. V's baby! That room looks AMAZING! It has made a world of a difference!
2. Half bath is finished downstairs!! GORGEOUS! New tile, new vanity, new potty! On the 19th Jd and Mr V tiled the whole floor- they did an amazing job! On the 20th Mrs. V did the ground molding of tile! Looks great! I get to see the finished product today!
3. The hot tub is GONE! Yay! We gave it to one of my co-workers because her husband came and changed/installed all of our locks! It was a win-win for both of us!
In other news- MY BFF is coming in town again today! For the weekend! I'm so happy that she is coming, It's only appropriate that she is our first house guest!! I miss her as a roommate, much less in the same city! Yay for a Steph weekend.
I'm so excite for Sunday! JD and I are taking our engagement pictures!! We are going to Oak Mountain State park with the amazing, Morgan Trinker. I haven't gotten to work with her yet, but her work is AMAZING! I am excitedly nervous!!
I promise I won't wait to long to post next time!
The house is coming together!

Lights, Paint, and Action
A very sad day for the Vibert's last week. Their sweet dog Nickel passed away. She was 16 years old and full of love! Anyone who knew her will miss her. I know I will.
So, I know I haven't blogged in a while.... We have been so busy working on the house I forget to blog about it! Last week we finished up most of the upstairs painting. It looks so nice and fresh! And no more gold, yellow paint!!
Here's Guest Bedroom #1:
BEFORE
It's current state:
New Fan- new wall color, new ceiling color, fresh trim. Doors still not put back in, Still gets new carpet.
the famous CAMO room: Before:
Let's just marvel at this site for a minute............................. What in the HECK were they thinking?! I wish you could see the texture on this wall. I cannot tell you how happy we are for this to be gone. We are framing a piece of the paper that came off and putting in the basement. To show our kids where we came from, haha! And for others to see this monstrosity in person!
Here it is Currently
It looks 10x better in person!! New light fixture. New celing and wall color, trim is primed to be white and not poopoo brown! And New carpet to come!
CRAFT ROOM
They used this as a TV room or so, I think I'm going to use it as a craft room/office. I always have so many random projects going and now I'll have a place for them!
BEFORE:
Craft room NOW:
We are obviously getting rid of the baseball mitt fan.... but we have new wall color- green! and a gray ceiling! Which is a little funky, but hey, it's a craft room! Why not be fun in one room!!
We are getting carpet on TUESDAY! YAY!!
HALF BATH
I don't have a half bath picture before, but this is it currently. We are doing a lot of work on this bathroom.
We have removed the dated white painted vanity, and are replacing it with this beauty!
You can't see much detail, but it is gorgeous! Espresso finish with stainless hardware. We are also going to replace the hexagon tile with travertine tile. I cannot wait to see this finished product!
These are all of the pictures I have right now but I am hoping to get a before/after of the kitchen! It looks like a totally different place! And continues to change.
Light fixtures have been picked out and we got to get the one I fell in love with for a special price! I just could not get this light out of my brain once I saw it!! All of our lighting is a little funky, and I'm hoping it all works together! This one will go over my grandmothers dining room table. To make it in a mixture of classic and rustic whatever this is. :)
I am getting so excited about all of the changes, they are becoming more and more visible! We slowly moving some items in everytime I go over. But this weekend are hoping to move a LOT! But save the big stuff for another day!!
In Wedding news: Looks like we have scheduled our engagement pictures for October 23rd! YAY! I'm anxiously excited!
It is all coming together, and it makes my heart happy!
