Not much to report

Well I don't have much to report this week, I've been working at the county fair all week. Yesterday was a great day it was only 77 degrees. A huge break from the 107 heat index from the day before. Today is looking to be cooler also. I'm working the 4 to 10 shift so this week has been pretty much shot. I was supposed to be having a joint garage sale with the neighbors this weekend, but am no where near ready. I've decided to have one here after we have moved to the new house. That way I won't have to move junk we aren't keeping. Cameron has had a full schedule all week, so we are both just pooped at the end of the day.

I am going to make a serious effort to get a large portion of our packing and sorting done this weekend. At least the clothes and items we don't need right now. We did get the first delivery for our new furniture.... two pillows we ordered for the chairs. I made Cameron keep them in the bag so they wouldn't get dirty :) I can see it now "don't sit on those chairs, their for company" LOL.

Hi I'm Michele and I have a small shopping problem.

Well actually WE have a small shopping problem. The furniture bug has bit again, and we swear this is the very last time. We saw a great deal on a bedroom set at a local furniture store here and decided to just go "take a look at it". Uh huh sure, well we didn't buy the furniture that was the really good deal (we'd be lucky if that set would have lasted us five years). But we did purchased an entirely different set!

Although its hard to tell in the picture it's not as traditional as it looks in person. It's a very dark cherry finish, that goes from black to dark red. It also has silver/nickle looking accents on the posts of the bed that matches the dresser knobs.

We purchased the bed, two nightstands, the dress with mirror, and also a tall chest dresser that they don't show in the picture.

But seriuosly this is the very, very last item we are purchasing until next year...... I hope.........

It has been requested that I update our blog with "anything" so there is something new to look at. So here is what I have for you today :)

YOU KNOW YOUR IN INDIANA WHEN........


Corn starts to randomly grow in your front yard, the neighbors are embarrased and have asked if we knew we had corn in our yard. I figured I'd leave it there until fall it will make a nice decoration.



You removed a tire to fix it on a 80 degree day and the next day it's 65 and raining, Cameron assures me this rust situation is very common. The real bad news is that this is only the first tire and we haven't even started the other side yet.


You abuse your mumms and hack them down to the ground (thanks for the info Tiff) and they have already grown back and started to bloom with the muggy weather we are having.

Real Furniture!

I can't believe I'm 28 years old and have never bought new furniture! This was a very exciting experience for me, It was old hat for Cameron. Here are the couches we bought, I couldn't find a picture of the chairs but I did find the fabric, so bear with me in the descriptions.


We bought two of these couches, but in a cypress green color with a red thread going through it. One sofa is a double recliner the other is a hide-a-bed. (Don't mind the nice lady sitting on our couches, we tried to make her move but she wouldn't budge)


The red of this couch is the throw pillows for our green couches above. The patterned pillows on this couch are the fabric we ordered our two side chairs we ordered for the room off the kitchen.

Not much else has been happening with regards to the house we are just waiting to sign the final paperwork. We are also putting in our request to have our fence built. Since we will need to start that as soon as we take possession of the house.

As for the rest of our lives, we went out to Cameron's bosses house last night and had an early Fourth of July. Actually we were just going to light off a few and then it became a contest with the neighbors. Oh well it was still lots of fun.
