Mowing the lawn!!!

Pat mowed the lawn for the first time today!!! We both love the new lawn mower!!! Some of our trees are a little too low for 6 foot 4 Patrick!!! Haha!!! Dexter and the kitties took turns watching out the front door. It was so cute!! Overall, he did a great job!! Only took 45mins!! Unfortunately, when he was done we found out that we had no hot water and he had to take a cold shower!!! :) Oops! We're getting the gas turned on tomorrow. That's all for now, just getting stuff up on the walls and off of the floor!!!

My little Hallo-WEENIE!!!

We are gradually getting settled in!!! I worked all weekend, so now I have more time to unpack, get organized, and buy furniture!!! I am off of work until Thursday the 25th!!! Dexter is ready for Halloween early this year!!! He's going to be a little hot dog!!! The pets are just insane in this house!!! It is so much fun to see everyone playing on the stairs together!!! I love it!!! One of those moments that just makes your heart smile!! :) I love all these little guys!!!

Beginnings!!!

We moved all of our furniture on Tuesday and really a lot of other junk!!! We are still working on moving all of our clothes and books/office supplies!! Other than that we are practically moved in!!!! It was so much fun and we had tons of help which I can't thank everyone enough!!!!! My parents brought their truck, Pat borrowed his Dad's Jeep, my sister with her SUV, Matt & Jen with their SUV, and Mike with his truck we were able to get everything!!! It was an exhausting but really fun day!!! Afterwards Pat's parents arrived and we got pizza for everyone!!! Champagne brought over little Lincoln and my favorite neighbor Andrea came to the rescue with cups!!! Even though we had no furniture, it was so much fun hanging out on that massive staircase!!! Then to top it all off the fam pitched in and purchased Pat & I a lawn mower!!! The perfect housewarming present!!! SO much has gone on I can't even want to write it all but cable, internet, appliances, garage door openers all purchased, delivered!!! All I have left to do is furniture shop and decorate for now!!! The kitties are having a blast!! Dexter is always running around chasing them!!! If things were any easier, it would be scary!!! Here's some pics, please disregard the mess!! :)

the master bath has tons of natural daylight!!!

The formal living room I have no furniture for yet!!!
Pat's basement!!!

You can always find a kitty on top of the cabinets!!! The next one is just his ears!!!!

Getting ready for tomorrow!!!

Well we are all packed up except for our clothes and the kitchen!! I don't cook very often so it's not urgent that I get that one done!!! Our apartment is a disaster!!! Everything echos with nothing on the walls!! We have never been so ready for a move in our lives!!! It's more exciting than going off to college!!! Well I'll put some pics up when we get our internet hooked up Weds!!!! I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the kind wishes and ask that everyone pray that it all goes smoothly!!!! We close at 11:30!!!! YAY!!!

Passing on the luck!!!

When I first met Patrick everyone said that he was the luckiest guy they knew!!! I think that it has rubbed off!!! This year has been crazy!! We got engaged, I received employee of the month at work, we found the perfect house across the street from the pool!!! Even in June when I had to deal with my car being totalled, I made quite a bit of money off of it and was able to get a Lexus at employee discount!!
Well lately it has definitely proven to have rubbed off on me!!! I was joking at work the other day b/c I kept getting the buy 1, get 1 free on Pepsi's that I should go play the lottery!! Instead, I entered a drawing at Celsius tan for a $2,000 shopping spree at Mazzarese Jewelry!! Shot in the dark!! I just received a call this morning that I won!!!! I'm so excited!! Now Pat and I can get wedding bands picked out!!! I'm strongly considering going and buying that lottery ticket!!! ;)

Packing it all UP!!!

Well I started packing yesterday!!I work this weekend and won't have any more time except Monday when I get off and Pat is pretty unproductive!!! Our apartment is a train wreck!!! We have decided to move everything that we don't necessarily need the first week, stay at the apartment until the following week!!! I don't know if I can wait that long!!! We don't have any boxes!!! At first I kinda freaked but then decided to pack it all up in luggage!!! I think it might actually be easier since it will all have handles!!! The kitties are having a blast getting into everything!!! Dex on the other hand has been hiding!!! Poor baby I think he's scared!! I've been babying him the past couple of days! He'll get over it when he gets into his new home!!!!

The BIG 2-7!!!!!!

We celebrated Pat's Bday on Labor Day!! Unfortunately, I had to work on his birthday over the weekend. It was so much fun!!! My parents, his parents and my sister along with her fiancee Nick, all got together at Bob & Sandy's!!! Good food, good conversation, and lots of different beer!!!Pat got his favorite ice cream cake from Baskin Robins, world class chocolate!!! He's still eating it!!!
