The AFTER!







Happy Anniversary to Tyler & I :) ( May 30th, 2009) Tomorrow- or in an hour- will be our 1 year anniversary! Can you believe it? I can't believe how fast in went! I know people always say that, but really, didn't we just move up here? Didn't I just graduate from college? Didn't Tyler & I just meet! The year has been amazing, and we have had so many incredible experiences. New jobs & careers even, a year full of saving money and now the new house! We can't say Thank You enough to my parents, who have helped us get a foot up on life & all of the other incredible support! THANK YOU!
Here are the after pictures of the house, even though it's still coming together- How appropriate to show them on a wonderful day for Tyler & I! Enjoy!

We're in... almost!







Ok- So Tyler & I might not be completely moved in, and we haven't stayed a night at the house- but we've had the keys for a week & are SO CLOSE! Today and tomorrow is the real move- where we can finally disperse all the goodies we have stored up in one bedroom over the year! Since the " After" pictures are coming soon, I thought I would post a few before pics. ( and a few in progress pictures as well!) Needless to say Tyler & I have been working around the clock! If I thought I was busy a few weeks ago, I don't know what I am now! It is the most gratifying feeling to have saved up a good amount of money- & to just shop! On the day we got the keys- which was Mothers Day ( yes that was her present!) - Lana & Marcus brought us a much needed cooler full of beer! It kept us going & soon we will be giving them beer out of our fridge! THANK YOU :)

Speaking of SHOPPING, two weekends ago my Mom & I went to Clackamas for a fully suburban loaded SPLURGE at IKEA * among other places! I got to see Heather, which is always way overdue & amazing! I was trying on some pants at the Woodburn outlets, when Heather bribed me to come out and CHANDRA & KENNEDY were there! SURPRISE! I jumped and cried, in pants with the tags on them ( bought them though- they bring good things :) ) I was so so so happy! I haven't seen Chan since she was 5 or 6 months pregnant & now Kennedy is already 3 months! Beautiful mom & daughter! I couldn't have asked for a more amazing day! Shopping with my best friends & a new baby! I could go on and on but it was an amazing trip!
Enjoy the pictures. The first nights stay is hopefully this Monday, which means MORE pictures for all you creepers out there ;) I'm one too! Don't worry!
