Home Update: Week 1

This past week we were able to get all the rooms that will have carpet cleaned and one of the bathrooms, Adam took out all the carpets the first night, and we got most of the carpeted rooms painted. Here's kind of how the house is starting to look.

OUR HAPPY HELPERS

When I first saw Adam wearing this mask, it startled me a little because he looks a lot like a boogy man! He was painting all the ceilings with an industrial spray painter.

A Home for Valentine's Day

Adam and I put an offer on a house in Ringgold, GA a month ago.  We were able to close on the house February 14th (Valentine's Day!), which made it even more special for us becoming home owners. The house was a forclosed home and the previous owner obviously had some pets because there were pee stains everywhere in the carpet and the place smelled pretty bad. So for our Valentine's day, I got to scrub down the laundry room and part of the office, and Adam riped out all of the carpets. Probably not the most romantic day for us, but we were working towards being able to move in with our new baby, which is kind of romantic. Hopefully we will be able to start painting next week and get new carpets and wood floors installed. There is lots of work to be done but it is soooo nice to be able to call something our own and not just live in a rental. I will post pictures soon of our progress. But so far we love the neighborhood and we love the area!

The new Sink residence!

This Week

Since I don't live by any of my family or friends anymore, I am going to try to update this more often.

This last week we were excited to possibly be closing on our house in Ringgold, GA on Friday, but it was pushed back to Tuesday the 14th so the bank would have time to install our new H-Vac system before we move in. (It was stolen.) But at least we have something to look forward to for next week and I can have a little bit more time to prepare to move in since I have had zero energy to do anything this week.

On Wednesday, I got together with some girls in the ward to work out. I felt a little weird trying to workout with my big belly, but it felt good be active like that again. Of course I had to modify everything that I did with them, but I still ended up super sore for the next 3 days. I am grateful that I am being included in things. Can't wait for next week!

Thursday night, Adam came down with a really bad cold, had a fever for a day, and lost his voice. Hopefully he gets better soon! And hopefully I don't get it!

Friday, I went to a girl in our stake's house to get my hair cut. She just had twin boys in November and it made me really baby hungry for my own little boy to come. But my hair was getting grossly long, and I thought I would try a little bit more mature looking hair style since I'll be a mom soon. I had her cut it to about my armpits which took off about 5 inches. I absolutely love my hair now and the time it takes me to get ready has been chopped in half.

We have noticed some fun new things that Bentley in doing in the past week or two. A couple of times, I have just placed my hand on my belly, not even thinking about it, and my whole belly will jump and I'll get a good kick in my right ribs. It kinda hurts, but I can't help but laugh because I have obviously scared him and made him jump. Adam thinks it's pretty hilarious and will tap on my stomach everyonce in a while to get the same response from him. We aren't hitting my belly hard at all, just a good tap. I feel bad about it and I don't want to startle him, but it's fun to see him reacting to Adam and I and responding to us.

Well, that is the update on what is going on with us, hopefully I'll be able to keep up with it.

Moved to Tennessee

Adam got a new job in Chattanooga, TN in December, so we packed our things and headed out here.

This is the moving truck that we moved in and we also drove out our little Celica too. Adam's dad came out to help us drive from Salt Lake City, UT which was a huge help!! It took us 3 days to make the trip.

Happy 25th Birthday Adam!

Adam turned 25 this year. He requested a homemade cheesecake, so that's what he got! It is seriously an amazing recipe. It was my first time making it and it didn't turn out super pretty, but it was still super yummy. We got some blueberry and cherry pie filling to put on top of our pieces.
