First off...The house. Look at it! Can you even believe it? It has been 8 weeks tomorrow since we started digging. Mudding and sanding will be done Saturday. Tile starts going in on Monday. Next is moulding, baseboards, closet build in's, doors...stuff like that. Next is painting...that's all I remember right now. We don't have an official date but we will be in by July sometime. That's 3 months! I still feel like I'm living in a dream. Can't wait to show you the finished product!!
And Florida!!! Ahhhhhhhh...I could have used a couple more days laying on the beach.
These first two are at Longboat Key.
We stayed right on the beach. This was the view from the hotel. Not from our room, but down the hall. Our room wasn't facing the beach, those rooms were taken. But we did have a balcony and we could see the beach from there, but these were better views.
It was so beautiful and relaxing.
(No, we didn't take the kids, how would that be relaxing I ask you?)
Next we went to Sanibel Island, the 3rd best place in the world for collecting sea shells.
So we collected a lot. We got a lot of the same one's and a few different more unique shells.
Hmm, I should take pics of those...oh well.
We saw dolphins swimming off shore at the beach on Sanibel and it was so cool!!And yes this is the best picture I have. See the little dark spots? That's them.
It was hard to catch them before they went back under. And they were moving and you didn't know when they were going to come back up or where. Tricky.
This is Brigam City, Floriday style. It just reminded me of home in a tropical way.
So there is an update!
I have been busy picking things out for the house. It's moving along so quickly, I can't keep up with all the decisions. AND ~ I have to keep my house clean in case anyone wants to see it. I haven't placed an ad anywhere yet, um, you need time to do that. Also, apparently you need brains. My pictures are too big to put on KSL so I keep getting kicked out. So I need to re-size them, I just don't know how...hence the brains part. So while I should be placing an ad, I'm doing this instead...cuz i ain't got no brains!

Oh you are so funny! The house looks sooo good! I am so wanting to be you right now...picking out details...sounds like so much fun! So FL...that looks so nice too! When we went to Tallahassee last summer it looked nothing like that. It wasn't on the beach, but even the beach we drove to was not pretty. But where you were, man, that looks so relaxing! Glad you guys had fun!!

I bet it was so relaxing to be at the beach with NO KIDS!!! WHOA what a time!! hope you guys are doing well! Miss you!!
That first Fl picture looks like a postcard. I can't believe how gorgeous it is (without the use of a filter or photoshoping). Your house is looking awesome. Can't wait to see the final pics.
I can't believe how far along your house is already! It wasn't that long since I've seen you and you were just starting. That is awesome! p.s. my name is Cassie :)
Your house is looking good. I can't believe how fast it is going up. I haven't ever been to florida, but hope to go there sometime. We were supposed to go in November, but our plans changed when we had Caleb so close to when we were supposed to go. I can't wait to see your house.
