Happy Father's Day!

Look what I got Ian for Father's Day! jk. :)
We were out yard sale hunting yesterday when we drive past a lady who is taping a "free" sign to this BBQ! So of course Ian jumped out and told her we'd take it! Ha ha.

It works great too! Just needed some cleaning. The couple was getting rid of it because the ignition starter didn't work and they bought a new one. Ian cleaned it all up and BBQ'd some chicken on it this morning! ha ha. 

HAPPY FATHERS DAY HONEY!!


I FREAKING LOVE YOU!
 Not to mention you are going to make a great father one day ;)

Also I'd like to thank my own father for all of his patience with his only daughter..and all of her emotional ups and downs during all the years. We appreciate all you have done on our new house and your love and support with everything!

Well, that is all for now! We still have many projects that are a work in progress.  Soon to come will be pictures of our kitchen! It's almost done...just need some finishing touches! We also are fixing up the laundry room and have to do some updating on the outside! It has been so fun working on our house :) and we are loving being able to come "home". Thanks to all who came and helped with the Demo when we first got the keys :)
