A New Year

This year has been busy busy busy. Last New Years I created my one year plan. In that year I wanted to get married to the love of my life and build a house. We did it!! It has been a crazy whirlwind of happiness and stress. We closed on our land in January and a year later we are still finishing things up.

My other goal for last year was to run more. Well that didn't really happen. I didn't do as much running or working out this year. No weight gain though. I plan to pick those back up this year.  Signing up to run the little rock half marathon. I wanted to do the full with a couple of friends, but since I didn't run my two halves in December I decided I wouldn't be ready. I want that 26.2 sticker damn it! Maybe I can run the full St. Jude come December.

 Reading more books is also on my goal list.  (There hasn't been any free time for reading this past year.) Books for enjoyment and professional growth.

We had a very low key New Year's Eve this year at home. We grilled a wonderful steak and bought a bottle of champagne. Neither of us stayed wake until midnight. Oh Well. We had Champagne for breakfast!

Hope you have a wonderful 2014! I can't wait to see what's in store for us. Baby talk is in the air. 

The serious one.
The silly one.
My babies (for now).

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

House Exteriors

 I spend most of my free time these days staring at the freaking computer looking for ideas for our house. There is a site Houzz . It's my new addiction. If you haven't ever explored it check it out. You can type in anything dealing with houses and get thousands and thousands of pictures to browse through. I look at EVERYTHING and pin the things I like on Pinterest. This makes it so easy to go back and review favorites. I have several boards dedicated to various rooms and the outside of the house. My focus these days is on the exterior. Hopefully in the next two weeks I will have a house pad and be ready to frame the house. I  know that I want a metal roof (not sure what color), cedar columns, stone, and cedar siding/shingles. not sure about color combination, how much siding or how much stone, and the front porch and walkway (the front yard will be pretty steep). I'm on Spring Break this week so I plan on visiting some lumber yards so I get a closer look at certain materia...
