...this IS normal!!

Or maybe I shoud title this post..."There is light at the end of this tunnel....right?"

Many of you have been asking for a posting on the house...and here you have it! We are living in a complete mess at the moment. Clint and I were talking the other night about some things that we would like to do (have friends over for dinner, go to a movie, be able to actually relax when we get home, etc.) and we made the comment that we would get to do some more of these things when life gets "back to normal"...however then we started laughing. Let's be honest, we have been married almost 8 years and I think we have been living in the middle of construction for a good 5 years...THIS IS NORMAL FOR US! haha.

The house is coming along, and I know when you see the pics below you are going to think I am lying. However I am a firm believer that you have to make a "mess before you can make a pretty." Clint finished the master closet this past weekend, which is awesome! I can't wait to line up all of my shoes on my new "wall-o-shoes" that Clint built me!! Come on isn't that every girl's dream?!! He has also been working dilgently on the master bedroom, which we are planning on moving into this weekend!! Yeah! (in fact he is in there painting right now as I am posting this blog....what a man!)

Well since we moved in we have been using our Master Bedroom for storage, a.k.a distaster area (extra matress, extra couch, extra dresser, boxes upon boxes that have still not been unpacked, and most of my clothes were still in suitcases)....so now that Clint is finishing the Bedroom we had the "joy" of moving it ALL into our living room! Yes I like to call it our Kitch-Clos-Bed-Din-Liv-Room....everyone should have one!

So as much as I can't wait to share the "beautiful" pics of it all being completed....I wanted to share the "mess" we are living in before the "pretty" appears! It's nuts...it's totally unorganized, and I think we might be loosing our minds....but it's ours. And we love it.

I hope you enjoy the "befores" and hopefully soon I'll get to post some "afters"!!!


Veiw of the backyard from our soon-to-be master bedroom!
Clint diligently working away...he deserves an award!

The mess of a dining area!


Random stuff everywhere...it seems to be the theme!

Yes...that is a suitcase, dresser, file cabinet in our living room....can you spot anything else? (yeah Trinity is in there somwhere too!)

mmm....don't you love piles of "stuff" in your living room? Yes that is couch underneath all of those blankets, pillows etc....oh yeah and there are piles of boxes behind that couch!
No really....you shoud try the Kitch-Clos-Liv-Din-Bed-Room in your own home!!

Seriously, only Aubrey can post pics of a "disaster", and it looks like something off of HGTV. I should have known when I was reading through the blog and looking at the pictures that I wasn't going to see a construction zone! The house looks amazing so far though, and your right, Clint does deserve an award!

I think it looks great. The paint colors are beautiful and what I could see of the kitchen looked amazing. Way to go Clint!!! Those doors from your master are awesome too. I hope to get to visit someday when it's done and see it all in real life.
