WHAT IS IT????

Today is the day!!! We found out if we were having a niece or a nephew.  My mom (who was in the hospital yesterday!!! geeezzz, she is ok now though) likes to be prepared in situations like this.....and boy was she ready.  She had blue and pink everything!







Yup.....mom had it covered!  Even my little brother Jake thought this through....here is his shirt


It was a beautiful afternoon and a great time to be with family



I was a little surprised there weren't any pink flowers....


Here's Brian and my sister in law Ashley before the big news!!!!!


Ashley is a teacher and before school got out, she and her students made these banners for the party...one for a boy and one for a girl.  and IT'S A......


 GIRL!!!!!!!!!!

Her name is Laney Marie Martin!!!!! We are SOOOOO excited! I cannot wait for her to be here!!!


I think Whit is excited




Not really sure how these guys feel about it....I think my dad is nervous about another girl in the family $$$$


Ashley and her sister, Katie, are both pregnant and due a few weeks apart from each other! So neat!


Whit, Me, and Jake

WHAT A GREAT NIGHT!!!!

Monday, May 21, 2012

hello??

Yes......I'm still here!!! It's been almost two months since I posted! I decided to take a little break from blogging.  Brian and I have been so incredibly busy and I honestly haven't had time to sit down and collect my thoughts. I feel like life might be starting to settle down a little......lets hope so!

Not much has been going on here. All we do is work, watch The Office on Netflix, and go to weddings. We haven't had anytime to do projects on the house.  I actually went to the grocery store for the first time in a month on Friday......does that give ya a little clue as to how much we have been gone! Hooch is STILL not back.  Can you believe it???? He is suppose to graduate come back in June, which means he will of been gone for 4 MONTHS! I'm terrified as to what it will be like when he comes home.  I'm sure he is going to be the size of a horse and I'm probably going to be scared of him.  We'll see! I'm excited to have him back though.

Oh and guess what!!!!? I'm going to be an aunt in October! Whit and Ashley, my brother and sister-in-law, are having a baby!!! We are so excited! This will be the first grandchild in our family.  They find out this Thursday  whether it's a boy or girl and my mom is having a reveal party......so stay tuned for that news!

Brian and I have definitely got the urge to start some projects back up though.  We are thinking the Man Cave is going to be the next one.  If you are on Pinterest, you can go check out my "man cave board" and get a little insight into what I want it to look like. CLICK HERE We want to turn part of the bathroom area into a kitchenette, so I'm pumped about that  if it works out.



This is the space I'm talking about.  On the other side of the left wall is the toilet/ shower area, and there is enough space in there to add a small vanity/sink.  So we would take out this vanity above and add a kitchenette.  I'm in-visioning a few upper and lower cabinets, a little sink,mini frig, maybe an ice maker  Brian is sweating right now as he is reading this and wondering how the heck I think I'm going to pay for this  I just think it would be cool.And we are planning on adding a porch off the man cave one day too, so we definitely would need a small kitchen ;) I keep my "off season" clothes in that closet to the right.....and I even considered giving up that closet Ican't believe I'm saying this right now so we could open up that space too.  We have another closet in the man cave....but that's BRIAN's hunting closet, so we'll see if he will share with me.

here are some of the images from my Pinterest board for the kitchenette


I like this layout


I love the color of these cabinets


love the rustic look of this one


and I love the sink and butcher block in this one

stay tuned..........
