Nick and I have spent almost every minute together since school has released and we haven't killed each other! We are both so glad that he is not working in Boling anymore so that we can see each other and enjoy being married. We have been working on the house every chance we get. So far the kitchen, dining room, and our bedroom are complete. Completely painted that is. Lindsey Voulgaris, Nick's old high school classmate, has become a great friend of mine since I moved here and started playing Bunco with her. She has been a sweetheart and helped me paint whenever I call. She loves painting the trim, which I despise. I'd much rather do the rolling. Since we moved into the house in June we've completely changed it. I pulled up all the carpet this past week. This coming week we plan on scrapping off the carpet padding that wouldn't come unglued and laying down the new flooring. I'm also hoping that Nick will put trim on all of the cabinets so I can start painting them. Our deadline for the house to be "near completion" is the end of August because I'm hosting bunco out our house. Today we went to Dillards to pick up our new bed and mattresses. That means that I'll be shampooing carpets this week also so we can set it up. It's so exciting. I really can't wait to have everything done so that the house will be clean and homey. Right now there is crap everywhere and I feel like it'll never be clean.
Last Sunday we had our first gathering. Mom, Dad, Jaace, Jamie, Robert, Rob Jr, Matt, Wanda, Wayne, Grams, Jake, and Toni and Cody Pohler came over for fried chicken (catered by Dad!). It was a spur of the moment deal and it turned out rather well. I learned of lots of things to put on my grocery list including better tongs and Reynolds wrap (to name a few). I can't wait to have the guest rooms complete so that people can actually come and stay over.
We'll be busy this next week as usual. Vacation Bible School is Sunday-Wednesday evenings. Saturday we have Jennifer's 1st birthday party to attend and Sunday we have a wedding shower for Greg and Robin. I'd much rather be busy than sitting around with nothing to do, but I hate how fast the time is flying. School bells will be ringing soon! :(
I'm going to try to be a better blogger and even add some pics.

I'm dying to see it! A few pictures would help... even if they are just of Nick rolling his eyes or shaking his head at you.
