no cold air...again...:-(

Why is it every time we turn around, something falls apart? We almost have one room completely finished, and we are feeling amazing! After getting home from school, having dinner and watching the cowboys win, bedtime came and as soon as we were half way up the stairs the hot air hit my face and I knew something was wrong. The air conditioning unit outside was not turning on. :-( We were stuck, sleeping in either a 90 degree upstairs or a flea downstairs. What a choice. After Preston checked out the attic and made sure the wires hadn't been chewed we decided the coolest room downstairs and with the least amount of fleas was the entry hall. If you ever get a chance to sleep on the wooden floor of your entry hall with some fleas- PASS ON THAT! Man oh man, something good has to happen...it just has to...

Polyurethane changed my world! *Pictures*

We have the most beautiful hardwood floors in our 1910 house, I mean beautiful. The only problem? There are quiet a few splintered parts, and we couldn't figure out how to seal them without completely destroying the charm of the aged wood. Everywhere we turned, everyone was telling us we needed to sand and re-stain the floors. We really didn't have a problem with all the work, but we just didn't want to re stain the floors because the wood has aged to the most beautiful color and richness we just wanted to keep that but loose the splinters.

After a few weeks of debate, we finally just went for it. On Labor day we put polyurethane on the master bedroom floor, no sanding and we were so happy and over the moon at the results! The beauty of the floors show and every board is different and perfect. The both of us are just so excited about this we can't wait to do it to the rest of the house! As a bonus, finishing the master bedroom floor means that room is just about done! All we have to do is re-calk the room and add crown molding around the baseboards and around the ceiling. Life is good. :-)

Creepy Bathroom

You know what's sad? I will tell you; when you just miss your favorite movie, or when the power goes out while you are doing your hair for you wedding, or when you sit down in class after a bad day and realize you have a test that you totally forgot about. Those are all pretty sad, you know what else is sad? When your husband walks into the only bathroom in the house that works to take a shower for his birthday lunch, and starts singing "it's a creppy bathroom, so creepy" and then while showering I hear from the other room the mario brothers song, not the happy beginning song- nope-the one when mario is in the creepy underground.  Why is the bathroom so creepy you might be asking yourself? Not only does it slant, has a creepy window that only half way locks above the shower, has an open 'closet' that has the air conditioning compressor that is open to the under the house, and there is no calking anywhere in the bathroom. None, which lets all the creepy crawlers walk around and make more fleas. My goal: someday to have a completely calked bathroom where I can soak in the tub and relax. If anyone knows of someone who has money to burn and time on their hands, feel free to come overhaul our bathroom.

FLEAS. Yes sir-e-bob, our good friends the millions of fleas that have decided to torment us in our home welcoming us with open arms after our relaxing carnival cruise that was bug free, thank goodness. To catch up:

The wedding was amazing, I got to marry my best friend, ate some good cake from Market Street, and got showered with bird seed on our way out to Preston's truck to take to our honeymoon! The boys of the wedding party decorated Preston's truck amazingly (I'll post pictures, Preston figured it out!) and off to Galveston we went! The honeymoon was a lot of fun, we sang karaoke on the ship, out of the 129 newlywed couples we were nicknamed "the newlyweds" , got saranaded by a guy in Mexico who sang La Bamba and when Preston gave him a $1.00 tip, the Mexican said "no, it's five." and we didn't even ask him to play! But all and all we had a blast just getting away. We were ready to get home, had a great time talking with Ryan my brother who house sat while we were gone so we wouldn't get broken into again, (his house story to come) and then we enjoyed looking at our amazing wedding pictures that were taken by Kelly Lynch.

Preston then made the mistake of going to the bathroom....he was attacked by our welcome home committee!!! He had about 15-20 fleas on him after about 30 seconds and we just felt so dejected, so hopeless, so snookered. So we got our angry faces on and set out to get some killer- bug, flea, rat, opossum, anything with legs killer.  Came home, got our gear on and went under the house, set the bait, and sprayed, and seven dusted the hell out of the under of the house. Take that you son's of bitch fleas and whatever else is living under the house.

Now we are enjoying some pizza we ordered (because to crawl under the house we need about 3 or 5 shots of Tequila) and will wait for tomorrow for the light of day and PRESTONS BIRTHDAY!
