Before and After

So getting the photos in order is more work than it is worth to me I hope you understand.

This is the AFTER of the bathroom, notice no wallpaper and mirror

This is the before - notice the "beautiful" light fixture.


The before of the kitchen.

Before of the bathroom - I do not miss the wallpaper one bit.

AFTER - New light fixture and drapes

Another view of the after.

I couldn't have done any of this without the help of my parents. They are the best.

Go KSU

Nothing really much to say here except how cute is this K-State Fan?

I'm alive

I know you all sit on pins and needles everyday wondering if I have updated my blog. Well, here you have the update. Probably not going to have any readers as you have all probably given up on me.

So, now that I have started this blog I'm not sure what I'm going to post. So it could be pretty random (which I know some of you love)

Last week I came home late one night (10 PM, yes that is late) and Chloe decided to be her crazy self and was running laps around the house. She jumped up on the banister by the stairs and started walking it like a balance beam as she has done thousands of times. However, this time she did not have her balance and fell of down approximately 8 feet on to the stairs. She was limping all over the house and I had to decide if I was going to take her to the 24 hour vet clinic or wait until the morning. Well, she didn't seem to be in horrible pain and was able to go up and down stairs and jumped on the bed so I took her the next morning. $200 and some x-rays later we learned she had torn some ligaments in her knee. Surgery was not needed, but she did get some pain pills and pretnizone (sp?). She is almost walking normal. Needless to say she has not been up on the banister again.

I have had a very busy October. I spent one evening in Lawrence with Tiffany and Ryan. It was like old times. (not that we all lived together before) We cooked dinner, watched a movie, went to church in the morning. Then the next weekend we had a family reunion with my mom's first cousins. They were all here in KC. We also went up to Weston, MO to the Irish Fest. The whole weekend was fun and I will consider the Irish Fest again in the future. This past weekend my mom and dad came out and we painted my kitchen and bathroom and did some other redecorating. Mom and I also cut down and overgrown bush. We got compliments from the neighbors friend on our use of a chainsaw (he is a professional tree trimmer).

Not sure if I have mentioned before how much I love the McRib from McDonald's, but I do. I know so gross, but I love it. They are back right now and can't wait to have one very soon.

So on that note, that is what you get for now.
