I've been so busy with house stuff, bridal shower stuff, and work these past two weeks that I feel like I've been neglecting my blog! Not much has changed at the house..Gary has completely moved in and I have been coming and going on the weekends. Guardian came to activate our alarm system last Monday, and our table was delivered last Tuesday! I am soooo in love with the table! We have it in the kitchen right now...I eventually want to build an island (Lowe's has cabinets that *almost* match and the same countertop)...if we build an island, the table will go in the morning room. Until then, it's staying in the kitchen to fill up the space!
Last Thursday (St. Patrick's day), Gary cooked us our first real meal in the house! Who needs kegs and eggs when you can have steak and wine? Delicious!
So I guess Gary got bored this week, since I haven't been there since Sunday. He called me yesterday and told me that he put up decorations. I got scared, really scared. He then calmed my nerves by telling me that they were easily removable and he didn't use any power tools. And I wasn't going to like them. But, he wouldn't tell me what they were. So I went there today after work to find out what he was up to. Let me first preface this by saying that he was an Army Ranger when we first started our relationship...and he accumulated a collection of army toys. So this is what I find when I walked in the door today:
Then I rounded the corner:
And entered the kitchen:
And finally, I saw this guy. Gary proceeded to explain to me that "he's camouflaged"
I guess I shouldn't leave him alone in the house that long again...who knows what it will be next time! I'm just thankful he didn't whip out the power tools that he has never used in his life. THAT will be a scary day!
Other than that, not too much is new. We still don't have any blinds. I was too busy this week to even think about it....maybe over the weekend we will make it out to shop. We finally finished up the wedding registry and sent out the bridal shower invitations this week....I have to say, it is working out really nice having a new home and then having a bridal shower to fill it up with brand new goodies! I can't wait!
Please keep the one on the fireplace. It's awesome
ReplyDeleteThat little "joke" by your soon-to-be hubby was awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI love the decorations. I think they all should stay and they shouldn't stay exactly where they are since the enemy has seen them...keep moving and pop up in different locations...that's the safest!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny! Tney were perfectly placecd. It looks good so far. I have no excuse for not having blinds yet, just indecisiveness. But I've finally got it taken care of. That's cool that you're thinking of adding an island. Maybe try the manufacturer. We're probably going to order another vanity for the master bathroom and crown molding for the top of the caibnets.
ReplyDeleteTHESE ARE AWESOME!!! YOU BETTER KEEP EM UP ALISSA!!!! #TEAMGARY!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the decorations I think they should stay ditto to what BD said and pop up in different places FUNNY
ReplyDeleteThose army guys are too funny, you should definitely leave at least one up somewhere to see if guests notice. How exciting it will be to get all new stuff from your shower!!
ReplyDeleteHaha he will be so happy to hear that you guys enjoyed it! I told him he can leave them up until we get "real" things in the house...but I am liking the idea of having them randomly throughout the house to see who notices! haha :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! Isn't it great to have a bridal shower right now? I am excited of the timing for ours now too because we can get all the stuff too!
ReplyDeleteI laughed when I saw the army guys hiding in each room way to funny! I do agree that should leave at least one little men hiding randomly in the house and see if your guest notices them.
ReplyDeleteThe table looks great I have ben shopping around for a dining room table trying to find a good deal. I definitely do like yours. Steak and wine dinner sounds yummy.
OMG HAHAHA. THat was the best post I have read so far! haha.
ReplyDeleteThat's a riot and reminds me of something my hubby would do.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you still even check this but we're building a sienna now with a morning room. Also looking to put in our own island and we're curious if you were able to fit that table and chairs in your morning room pretty well? We have a door that swings in so space is more limited than I'd like. Congrats on the wedding and house, we're in the same boat!
