I do too Blog

I do too blog . . . when I feel motivated to do it, which is rare. Josh and I have been pretty busy lately. We went to our Birth Prep Class on Wednesday and Saturday. As you can see, Josh really liked wearing the pregnant belly. I'm not really surprised. But he did keep complaining about how it sat right on his bladder. "Poor Guy."
After our class on Saturday, we just had this realization that Jack will be here so soon. Less than 2 months. Crazy. Kind of freaks us out a bit, but we're excited and ready. I don't know anyone who's excited more than Josh. Oh! Something so funny during our Birth class. For some reason, Josh kept rubbing and tickling my back through the whole class which is very strange because usually I have to make a bargain/beg him. But I wasn't going to say anything in case he realized his mistake and stopped. After, as we were driving home, he brought up the fact that he noticed all of the other husbands/partners were rubbing the womens' back SO that made him feel like he had to too. Hey, I'll take a guilt back rub any day.
Then we went to the REAL game that night where they won 6 to 0. That is the highest scoring soccer game I've ever been to, which really isn't saying much because I honestly haven't been to a ton. But it was fun. And the Nachos were delicious :)
And as promised, here are some pics of our completed kitchen. (minus backsplash and molding)

We have lots of magnets!!!

Its getting close

So Ashley never blogs anymore, so I thought I would throw something on. Saturday we went to our "labor ready class." I have never been so excited for this little baby, I can't wait. We got to see the nursery, wow, what a awesome site. Anywho, glad Paul Kreuger and Shaun Smith got drafted in the second round, with Bryce McCain going a bit later, Awesome.

Catch Up

So I am thinking it's time for me to post something, what do you think? I am terrible at this whole blogging thing. Why did I start it again? Well, Josh and I have been sort of busy lately. Well, mostly Josh. I'm still going to school and Josh is still dealing with my pregnant mood swings. Poor guy. I get tired, I take it out on him. I get hungry, I take it out on him. I can't sleep, I shove him because he's breathing on me. And every time I apologize to him after I feel better (sometimes).
Well, Josh and I have been talking about remodeling our kitchen since we got married. We were planning on getting it done before baby Jack is here but we had to do it in March before Josh started getting really busy at work. The first week goes by in March, we don't do anything. Second week of March goes by, we don't do anything. Here comes the third week, and Josh decides that we don't need to wait any longer and he starts hammering holes in the walls with the theory in mind that if our kitchen is a mess, it will force us (mostly him) to get it done and stop being scared to do it. First thing on the list, knock down some walls. Our kitchen was basically a cave with original everything from 1986.

Josh and his friend Brian about to knock out this wall
Then Josh tore down another wall and built in a pantry. He could be on "This Old House." He's amazing.
So instead of giving a step by step of everything we (Josh) did, I'll just post some pics and describe if needed. PS, why is it so difficult to post pictures on Blogger?

Some Before Pics

The fridge was moved to the middle of the kitchen, it used to be to the right where the wall was before Josh knocked it down
This is Josh gettin' ready to install our flooring.

Here is the almost finished product.

The kitchen is basically done now. Josh just painted the cabinets white and we got a cool new sink. I keep forgetting to take pictures of it to post. All that needs to be done now are the little things that aren't vital for a kitchen to be functional. Seriously, it was horrible having no kitchen for awhile. But Josh got it done in less than a month due to working until 2 am and getting up at 6 am so he could get it done. He's one of those people that actually finishes things that he starts. Weird. Plus, it seems when your house is a complete disaster, so are other things in your life, doesn't it? With help from Brian, Josh's coworker, Matt, Josh's brother and Scotty, Josh's BFFer, this was all possible. And thanks to me, always looking over Josh's shoulder bothering him.
