A Happy House Challenge!

So I do pretty well keeping things picked up and looking mostly nice in our house however I still think I can do better so I'm going to do the Happy House Challenge and get started making my house a happier/cleaner home!

The first weeks challenge...

Make the bed! Something I did all the time when the my husband was traveling. It was the only way to climb into a warm bed. He always keeps it heated from his body heat and I couldn't sleep when it was cold. Now however it just doesn't happen but it will! Starting tomorrow morning!!!!

Empty the Sink! So I hate dishes. I hate doing anything that gets my hands wet. For the past week in a half I have done really well keeping my sink empty and counters clean because...I bought gloves! Go me! So most nights or at least first thing in the morning dishes are done. I even got my drying rack out so that I can wash all our pans by hand and run the dishwasher less. I'm hoping this will save on our water and energy bills.

Is your house in need of some happiness? (I don't think a clean home equals a happy home but it doesn't hurt it) Join in and have some fun!

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends hair salon . After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready. Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking. My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park. THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I d
