Mission Accomplished - Sort Of

Between Mark on one computer and me on another we were able to get 4 tickets to the Packers v Seahawks game on October 12; however none of them are together. So, while I may be at the game, I might be sitting with complete strangers.

The second interview went well, and they are checking references and if all goes well then I will probably receive an offer. The days of unemployment might be coming to an end....

My Assignment

I have been instructed in no uncertain terms to be up, ready, and online for the 10:00 AM PST sale of the Packers v Seahawks tickets. Will I be successful? Oh, and I have a second interview tomorrow with a potential employer. I don't know what Mark wants more - tickets to the game or for me to have a job???? Stay tuned for updates on both topics. Hope everyone had a great weekend and we're anxiously checking the Baby Weiland blog for any updates. Oh when will HBW arrive? We can't wait!

Are you kidding me?

Now picture for this one - just form your own vision in your mind.

It's July 31 - Mark and I are walking to dinner in jeans, and long sleeve rain coats while shivering (I swear it was in the 40's but Mark says that's exagerating). It's about the most miserable I've been in Seattle. It's just wrong!!!! I'm already trying to come up with ways to beat the rainy season depression that is just around the corner. I think regular trips to Hawaii - Mark thinks a grow light. Hmmm...I wonder who will win this one.

In Honor of my Aunt Chelle

This one's for you Aunt Chell! I saw the bottle and just had to purchase in your honor.

Who needs new furniture

At least that's what Mark was thinking. No, this is not our permanent seating arrangement, but it did work for a Friday evening margarita at home. I do have to say I made some dang good chicken enchiladas that were better than any Mexican we've found so far. Boy am I craving Abuelos. Mmmmm.....

The First After Pictures

We finally have ONE room for a real after picture. After 5 coats of paint, 3 weeks of work, and 1 patched wall we have our main bathroom back in working order. It's still small, but the red paint makes me happy!



BEFORE ---------------- AFTER

We had a slight construction error when removing the medicine cabinet which resulted in a portion of the wall bowing out and cracking. Our solution, a bigger medicine cabinet with a frame. Voila, problem solved and a bigger mirror with more storage is a bonus!

Here's Our House - Before Pics

These are all the cabinets we have ---- Dining area off the kitchen

Those are a few before pics and as the house comes together we'll post some after pictures. As of now, the 2 guest rooms, living room, and hall have been painted along with the doors, trim, and ceiling in each room. It's coming together and more furniture arrives this week!!!
