Construction: Day 3-4

We've got tile on the walls and floor! Yay!

Construction: Day 2

Today started with our guys sanding down the walls and existing ugly blue tile (that we found under the linoleum!) in order to prep it for the new tile going in. This caused soooo much dust! The "Day 2" picture below is written in the dust it left on our dresser. I am heading to Lowe's tonight to buy a new air filter b/c I don't want it to collect in our AC! Next, they ripped out the rotten studs and replaced those with pretty new wood. They also cut all of the tile for the floor. We are going with the slate look on the floor so hopefully, it will turn out great and be worth all of the headaches!

Construction: Day 1

I decided to chronicle our construction journey over the next couple of days (hopefully, it doesn't turn into weeks!). Who knew we would completely gut our master bath after only living here for a couple of months. Today, they ripped out the old shower (tile, Hardibacker, and shower pan), ripped out the linoleum, and moved our toilet and sink into our bedroom. They also jackhammered our foundation and moved the drain from the corner of the shower to the middle (where apparently, it was supposed to be in the first place!) Thank goodness we have a second bathroom!

Our new cat...

We swear that our sweet dog has turned into a cat! Check out his new favorite sleeping spot...on top of the couch cushions! Just like a cat!

Ozzy goes Swimming!

Ozzy's new favorite summer activity is lounging by the pool! He LOVES it! Check out the pics of him diving in to play a game of "water fetch!" Peeps on the other hand, HATES the water! Check out the pic of Mr. P swimming as if his life depended on it....(I know, it's probably cruel we threw him in, but I wanted to make sure he could swim!)

What's my name again??

The craziest thing happened to me yesterday. I finally made it to the DPS to get my name changed officially (about time, I know!) and the lady at the counter misspelled it! So, now I am Amanda Ware.

When I pointed it out to her, she let out this huge sigh (like I was inconveniencing her!) and said she would put an "Edit" on there so it would be right when I received the real thing.

The "Edit" consisted of a Post It note attached to the paperwork she sends to Austin. We'll see what happens with that. I might be Amanda Ware for life!

The Boys

It was pointed out that there are no pics of Mr. P and Ozzy on here. What a travesty! Here they are! (Just for you Suena!) =)

Home Improvements...

We've been pretty unluckly on our voyage as new homeowners, to say the least! Most of you know about our first flood that we had right before we moved in...we are now on Flood number 2! Lucky us! This time, it was our shower in the master bath. No worries though! We are on the road to getting it repaired and we may add some upgrades while everything is ripped apart (depending on how expensive everything is!). I now know more about shower anatomy than I ever wanted to know so if you have any questions about yours, I may know the answer! Hahaha! Here's a few pics of the flood and construction in progress. We actually have a HOLE in our bedroom wall right now, YIKES! I'll post some after pics when we get everything sorted out...

Wedding Pics!

Here are a few pics from our wedding day!
