New Grill

Sunday Austin was ready to go get his grill! (a gift from his parents!) We headed to Home Depot, had great service, and bought the grill Austin had had his eye on/been researching – yay!

The new grill in its new home

We want to replace the bench with a small table/chairs so when he grills he'll have some company! After this pic was taken he cut back the branches a bit


We were so excited to start grilling! This grill was our favorite because of this red heating whereby it cooks evenly, and easy clean up (It has a 'clean' button that turns it all to ash then you just dump it). I liked it because it has a burner on the left so I could cook a side out there, and because it's cute! We got a great price (guy even gave us $25 off in store), and we got a cover for it which is good as it's rained every day since we got it. We were able to grill some shrimpies and chicken last night and they were SO good. Can't wait to use the grill even more - thanks, Paul & Michelle!

Lots 'o Changes

So I haven't updated in a while! And this post isn't really so much of an update, but a list of things to come!!

  • New Office: Austin's office is now in my scrapbook room! I'll have to take some pics when we finish it!
  • New Guest Room: Our "green" guest room is now white/orange and has all of my scrapbook room/office furniture in it - cute!
  • New Master room: Our "brown" master room now has the "green" guest room bedding in it! Austin got a painting at Ballard's, we got a new pillow in NY and lots of stuff is changing up!
  • New Upstairs Den: The den is no longer "Austin's office/den" so we're going to make it JUST like our old loft and use our cranberry-colored pillows, candles, etc. We're also going to hang the M canvas in there and some of our other framed items (i.e. wedding invitation).
  • 2nd New Pillow: Another new pillow is in the seating area - need to get a shot of it!
So yes, quite a few changes around the house!! We're hoping to get it all squared away this weekend and then i'll start taking some pics so stay tuned!
