Happy Birthday to Me!!

My birthday was FANTASTIC! So many people responded to a very late text and came over for cake at my very own house on my birthday night.
Kyle got me a great cake with perfect candles (it says Happy Birthday in Spanish, fyi).
Apparantly I'm too old because I couldn't blow out my own candles. Lynus was there to help though.
Lynus thought that entitled him to two pieces of cake.
And Kyle called me a liar but I seriously was surprised when people brought presents. They were SO thoughtful and wonderful!



Thank you everyone for making my birthday so wonderful! Oh, and I forgot to take a picture but Kyle wrapped my present in a cheesy mormonad--it was hilarious.

Our House in the Middle of the Street

It's the moment you've all been waiting for! Pictures of our new house. First, here are pictures of our beautiful roses from our rose bush that Kyle went to town on and didn't leave much of...
Our newly painted front room with our new couches. I LOVE our new couch! It has footstools and a hidey hole and cup holders.
Our kitchen. My favorite part is the bar. Thank you Brandon and Ashley for the bar stools!
Our bedroom...yet to be decorated.
My bathroom! We have two so we don't have to share and I got the one with lots of counter space, which you can see I've already cluttered up.
My puzzle room. We both love that I can have puzzles out in a room that is secluded.
Kyle's room for his computer and drums, which we made as far away from my piano students as we could so he can still play while I teach. You can't see it but the former owners so graciously left up some vinyl lettering above the window which reads, "The wildest colts make the best horses".
Our hallway laundry room...though it's more of a closet. I still like it!
The closets in the two bedrooms are connected. The former owner told me she lost some children who were supposed to be locked in their rooms through this closet.
Two car garage! I LOVE having a garage. I never have before!
And a backyard! I love it. I get to hang out outside whenever I want and not feel like I'm just sitting out in public.
And in the corner of our yard is a weed overgrown garden that has the tiniest strawberries ever. I included a lemon in the picture for size reference.

A few random things

This is the owl I made for Amy (my cousin). I couldn't find the right size eyes, but then these big ones turned out to look perfect!
My second day at work my supervisor asked if I wanted a couch and when I of course said yes she sent me to RC Willey to pick one out myself!
This is our neighbor's cat who peeps on us. We woke up one night to him staring down at us while we slept...He's so creepy he turned our clock weird!!!

Just had to share

Our house, which we didn't realize at the time of purchase, has no AC. So while babysitting Story I didn't want to use a blanket so we wrapped her up tight in this pillow case. But it's so old there's a hole in the bottom that her foot stuck through. I started my job today and so I don't get to watch her anymore. That makes me sad :(
