New Fridge!

Phew.  I really am a bad blogger.  I can't even remember the last time I posted something.  But, I realized I haven't had a whole lot of a house related things to post about.  We ended up basically taking the winter off from doing any projects as we spend all of our time snowboarding.  Now that the weather is getting nicer, we are getting back into the remodeling mood.

On Saturday, Scott and I were running errands and ended up over by the Sears Outlet (our favorite appliance shop EVER!).  Since we were so close, we decided to stop in with no plans of buying anything.  We like to browse and keep and eye on their deals so when the right price is available, we can buy it.  Well, turns out our fridge that we had wanted was the right price this weekend.  We have a KitchenAid range and dishwasher and knew we wanted to stay with the brand as we have been so happy with them so far.  Sears never seems to get many KitchenAid appliances into the outlet, so we figured we'd have to pay full price.

We lucked out!  Nestled in between rows and rows of fridges, we found the KitchenAid we have been looking for!  With a 29 cubic feet and a list price of $2,900, we would have never been able to get a new fridge had it not been from the outlet.

Some other random things that have happened in the months since we I last posted...

We got a new rug for the family room and my mom passed us down a wonderful set of furniture!  Ignore how dirty the rug looks in the picture...it was new and still shedding!

 Scott's best friend moved in with us from Washington.  Meet Russ!

We got a TON of snow...over and over and over again.

My mom came and visited.  We walked around Red Rocks and it was absolutely gorgeous!

Scott's mom, sister, brother in law and their kids came and visited for almost 2 weeks over New Years.  We spent most of the time up in the mountains.

Scott and I went home to Seattle for a visit in January and made some new friends...

 and I got to catch up with my baby brother.

It's been a busy few months! We are excited to get going on some of our spring projects now that the weather is (almost) getting nicer!

Happy 2 Year Anniversary!

I can't believe it's been 2 years since Scott and I were married in Sun Valley.  To this day, it has been one of the greatest trips I've ever taken.  Even though our wedding was small (40 people) it was perfect in every way.  Now for a trip down (picture) memory lane...

To this day, I can't get over how grateful Scott and I are that so many people traveled such a distance to share our special day.  Everyone that attended and has supported us reminds us of how much love we have in our lives.  Thank you to everyone that attended in person and attended in spirit!

After the wedding, we were even featured in Sun Valley Magazine.  Here is the link to the online article: http://www.sunvalleymag.com/Blogs/Hitched/Fall-2010/Scott-amp-Lindsay/

My Weekend in Pictures

We actually accomplished quite a bit this weekend on the house.  So instead of showing pictures of that, I will show pictures of everything BUT the house.  I'm just that way sometimes.

Friday, I stayed home sick.  I must have ate something bad because there was no way I was making it too far from my house (or a bathroom!).  TMI? 

By Saturday afternoon, I felt IMMENSELY better.  We had plans with our friends to celebrate my birthday and another friend of ours that is on the same day, so we ventured out for that.  My stomach issues earned me the title of DD for the night.  There are worse things in life.  The bar we went to had GIANT JENGA made out of 2x4's.  Scott officially decided he is making a set for our backyard. 

Mom - you can "meet" my friends.  I labeled all their names in the 2nd picture for you :-)

Yes, I am washing my hands in that picture.  Bree came in and decided she wanted a picture in Kaela's bathroom RIGHT THEN!

On Sunday, I went shopping with Kaela.  While we were at Target, we found the most FANTASTIC sweaters.  Dog sweaters, that is.  We both purchased one for 2 of our pooches.  Doesn't Baker just look SO handsome?

Baker was in an exceptionally photogenic mood last night.  I think it was the sweater.  While I was doing my homework on the floor next to the bed (that's where my bright lamp is) Chewy and him decided they wanted many pictures taken of them.

First they were sleeping.

Then they were wrestling.

Then I told them to look cute.  So Chewy yawned at me and Baker tried to eat his face. 

After I told them to look CUTER - I got this gem.



Don't be fooled by those cute, innocent faces.  Those 2 are double trouble.  You can't see in the picture, but Kaya is under the covers behind Baker.  She wants no part in the wrestling and would much rather be under blankets sleeping.
