Bathroom Reveal






Fact: I've just been lazy. The bathroom has been done for a while!

The bathroom was the most expensive and extensive of our house projects thus far. Also most necessary. Well, it may tie with the carpet for me (as far as necessary). Either way, the bathroom came out fantastic and I love it!

We gutted the entire thing - drywall, shower, sink, toilet, doors, light fixtures... all gone. Kudos to Matt, Matt's Dad (our electrical helper!), our great plumber (and friend), and my sweet Dad who personally helped us for hours upon hours (...days upon days) particularly on this bathroom
project. Hats off to him for ALL the tile work. He did a beautiful job!

Photo Booth

So, really, this should be titled "Tyler & Shai get married!!!", but seeing as I took NO pictures at their reception, these cool photo booth pictures from their wedding will be the highlight (gee whiz, Jordyn). We had a great time seeing the happy couple and are SO excited for them! They had the coolest set up at their reception (and seeing as I dont have the paper that explained all of it in detail, I wont even try to recreate a vision of it for you... but let it be known, it was ultra-thought-out and ultra-cool). One of the stations included the photo booth... and here are our pictures :)

Picking out a tree


Unlike past locations we've lived, it appeared that the only places to get a tree in town were retailers (what happened to little lots stocked full of trees w/lights strung above them?) - so off to Lowe's we went! Mason loved picking a tree and only got a little worried when the worker took it to trim it up for us ("where is our tree???? why is he taking our tree???"). Yay for having a fresh tree again! The past 2-3 years have entailed my little alpine tree being our "Christmas tree" due to compromising since we were often only home for about 2 weeks out of the month of December. We're SO excited to be waking up in our own home for Christmas this year - and yet still getting to be with extended family! Let the season begin!
