For all who have been wondering..


This is the house we want to build. We probably won't build the parlor and the formal dining room area off to the right (just cut that part of the house out completely)because really- who needs a parlor? At least not when you're on a budget! We are also going to fill in the open area above the family room so that it will be a play room for the kiddos to keep all their toys upstairs (I guess it could also serve as a 4th bedroom if we ever need it)! The reason we have the garage on the bottom is because our property is on a hill and right now the driveway is steep, so we will be counter-sinking the garage into the hill and helping out all our friends who do not prefer to drive 4x4 gas hogs year round in order to come visit.
Jeremy went fishing yesterday with his cousin who flew up from Arizona to go fishing. The took the little zodiac out (yes, I mean LITTLE. People literally laugh at us as we go by them. And these are people who are STANDING on the shore.)His cousin caught a King and Jeremy had one until his cousin accidentally cut the line. He is out fishing again all day today as well. Poor guy.
Last night we went to Jalepenos with my older sister Heidi (her husband was working) and my little sister Holly, who by the way, has a pretty hot & heavy boyfriend..if you can call dating a few weeks hot & heavy..haha! They actually knew eachother from high school so it's one of those things were they don't have to spend too much time "getting to know eachother" since they already do. But, they are having fun.. we'll see where it heads.

Good luck with the house! I love so many things about craftsman style homes, especially the window panes.
