Life Lately

Ay yi yi! Life has been crazy lately. I can't believe that it has been three months since we've posted here! I had so many fun posts lined up and then BAM! Life threw a flood straight at my face. Our apartment is a basement apartment, so we got to deal with the repercussions of a 26 year old water heater. On the bright side, we have a sparkling new one which heats our water beautifully! On the down side we had to completely tear up our wood laminate flooring because it leaked underneath and unbeknown to us there were THREE (!!!) hidden layers of ugly carpet from the 70's that were soaked and started to mold. UGH. Luckily none of our furniture was ruined, and we decided to just keep the concrete floor. I'll be sure to post more on that later because OH BOY- sanding, cleaning and sealing a concrete floor on your own when you have no experience is HARD. Nate works a zillion hours a week so I did most of it solo. I'm in love with the finished result though which is all that matters! And it has pushed me to finally get our space to a place that feels almost finished and more...us. It's pretty great. I babysat my niece, Drea, during the week for the past couple of months and it was so much fun! She's 18 months old, which is basically my favorite age ever. We went to Samantha's house for a photoshoot/playdate a couple of months ago and it was a blast to see her play with the girls. Zandros gave her a tour of their house (a very important part of the visit!) and they played with legos and ponies galore. Samantha's wildings are so cute and have grown SO MUCH SO QUICKLY. I'm loving getting to know them and their personalities as they get older. xx Courtney

PS- Samantha's still here too! She's been working at a new job a lot lately on top of raising those three wild kiddos. But we've got fun things in the works and will be blogging more now that we've both gotten used to our new schedules. We've especially got some fun things coming up with our little photography business, so don't forget to check us out over there too!
