Workout Room

Eight months later and the workout room is finally finished! Well mostly we still need to mount the TV and a corner shelf under it to place DVDs on.
We started by taking everything out and putting down a plyometrics foam floor we bought at Academy Sports. Must protect the knees when jumping around.
Laying the floor.
Once the floor was in, we put up my ballet barre. I would eventually love to mirror this whole wall.
But for now this huge mirror, given to us by my aunt, will have to do. I do want to paint it before we hang it. That's why its still just propped up against the wall. I'm not a fan of the gold. 
The dread mill treadmill and weights against the opposite wall from barre.
Corner where the TV is going to be mounted along with shelves, so eventually the table will be gone. 
So really the workout room is not technically "finished", but its functional for now. One thing I have learned with building a new house, there is always something to be done. We will never be "finished". Well… maybe when we are old.

Ballyseede Castle

   Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...

Favorite Christmas Presents

So my brother asked what I wanted for Christmas. A few weeks before I'd seen these owl Tervis tumblers in Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I love Tervis tumblers! I use the big one everyday for coffee. It also gets usesdfor cocktails by the pool, tailgating, and camping. I opened the gift to find a layer of duct tape.  Now this is because I love to peek at my presents and my brother knows this. He usually stops me. Once I'd cut threw the layer of duct tape, there was another layer of gift wrap. After all the unwrapping, I find a box stuffed with pillow inside and these. I cracked up. He had drawn owls on Red Solo cups. He then handed me another box. It contained these! I can't believe he got me four. He said he couldn't decide. I love the tall ones and Kev loves the short ones so it works out perfect as long as he doesn't mind drinking out of owl cups. I love my brother and he gave a great gift. My mother added all these to my shoe ornament collection...

Can't Wait to Finally Have a Garage!

This morning it was 28 degrees outside! I warmed my car up for 20 minutes and all the frost still wasn't off the windows. I can't wait til next winter when I will have a garage to park in. Not only for winter months but all months truly. In the fall I always get acorns and leaves stuck in my window. In the summer my car is always covered in bird poop and hot and in spring it's covered in pollen. Just one of the reasons I'm so excited about building a house. Having garage to park in!
