Casper...



Was this guy your first thought?  Mine too.  You know what Thayner's first thought is?  The name of our first-born son.  Yeah RIGHT!  That thought just makes me cringe.  It's a good name if we want our son to grow up and haunt mansions built in the 1800's or grow up and date a Latina Cougar (that's right my friend, J.Lo's 20-something-year younger backup dancer flame is named Casper...barf).


I also feel that if we plan on naming a child Casper, he'll come out looking a little like our good friend Powder:


Creepsauce, right?  Also, I plain just don't like the name.  If you agree with me, please let my better half hear about it.

Anywho, what's been going on around here? I chopped off part of my thumb.  Super neat!  I was lovingly slicing sweet potatoes for my handsome husband, and I was so caught up in my love for him that I lost all concentration and shoved my thumb right into the mandolin and said goodbye to some nail and a big chunk of my most important finger.  Good thing I was alone, although my reaction, looking back, was hilarious.


I wrote a post about this next thing and deleted it for various reasons.  Long story short, Thayner went up to the attic, freaked out, and came down with this treasure chest.  We were DYING!  We were rich!  Thank you cute little old lady who lived in our home before us.  That is just pure silver.  We had big plans for that treasure box, but found an "April Fool's" note at the bottom.  The prankster will remain anonymous, but lets just say that he/she played the best prank EVER.


 Oh goodness, what a cutie.  Winnie Davis had her first birthday party at Cinderella park.  We gathered and ate delicious birthday cake and watched her tear into her gifts.  We love you Winnie!


The majority of our lives is work and work on the house.  We are so thankful for our super helpful family members who have all sorts of awesome know-how and work ethic.  They are helping us rebuild from the sheetrock up.  The house is coming along swimmingly.  We are moving into the basement this week and will live out the rest of the construction days underground, after which we will emerge into the daylight and have a bonafide home!!!


Our luxurious master (and almost only) bathroom).


The most handsome boy on earth leveling the floor so I can lay the hardiboard.


Ahhhhhhhh!!! It almost is going to look like a real kitchen!!!

Welp, have a lovely day everyone. You are awesome.

We did it!



IT. IS. FINISHED!
The Thayner and I are graduated from college.  
What a great journey.
What a relief that it's all over.
I'm so proud.
Thayne looked amazing in his robes.
I looked like a floating dementor.



I would like to give a shout out to my amazing friends (slash study-buddies slash therapists).  Brooke and Amy, I love you and you are WAY cool accountants.


Goodbye testing center adventures, goodbye commuting, goodbye tuition, goodbye awesome college memories. HELLO full-time work, house, babies, and life!
