Christmas and snow!

No we didn't have a white Christmas this year, the snow came today and the dogs were thrilled, mostly Allie. The pics are at the beginning of the storm, it is suppose to snow non-stop 24 hours, the dogs will love it!
My snowing day project is painting the kitchen, the turquoise is being replace with a honey yellow  and the red window frames are a navy blue.  So far I really like it, the color brightens up the kitchen.  Pictures to come when it's done.

The Whimsy House

I have been requested by family and friends to post pictures of our new home and to update the blog!   We are settled in Aztec, New Mexico and though I miss Tremonton and my friends I do love this house much more.  Having only one level is really nice and of course being back in the country is something we always wanted.  The stars at night are amazing and there is deer that we frequently see everyday all around the area and the house.
We have nicknamed the house the "Whimsy House", perhaps you can see why in the pictures.  The house is still a work in progress and there will be some painting done.  The rose color living room and the turquoise kitchen will undergo a color change in the future.  We love the flooring in the home, I always wanted wood floor and no carpet. I love the kitchen, so much room.   Here are the long awaited pictures! (There are a lot of them)

                                                        The star light is very cool

                                                        Deer!                                  

                                               I bought a Red Microwave, can you
                                                       tell why??

                                                             The Whimsy Door!  It grows on
                                                                  you if you hate it

                                                           We have land again!

                                                      I can see Colorado from my house!

                                                                  The Mud Room Bathroom

                                                     Our room is huge!  We could
                                                                     dance in it :)

                                              No Whimsy House is complete unless it
                                                          has a CowHide Toilet Seat!

Here is a quick update!

We rented our home in Tremonton and hope the renters will buy it in February....fingers crossed!  Since September we have been living in the trailer aka "breadbox" with two hyper dogs.  We are so ready for a yard for them to run and play. In the meantime we are camped in a trailer park which is a interesting experience, pictures to come.

 We found a wonderful home on the River and made a offer on it, only to find out it was in a flood zone and we were unable to get it.  We went on the search again and found another lovely home with 1.22 acres.  Mark gave up the garage and I gave up the garden tub, in exchange we bought a home with all wood and tile flooring which is perfect for us!  The house is quite colorful, unlike anything we have ever lived in, so we gave it a nickname....the Whimsy House.  Not sure how much we will paint and where to start, but time will tell.
It is really different than the neutral colors we are so use to, heck change and color can be good!

                           Here we are on moving day from Tremonton, a sad and bittersweet day for us

                                                           
                                                           They are a confused, especially Allie

                                                           Thanks to our friends that helped!!!

                                            Our empty Bedroom

                                                   My sad kitchen, everything gone

Almost done, it will be sad to leave our friends, the town and the ward.  We have really loved it here.  (why are moving again?? oh....that's right Mark is transferred and loving it and doing very good)

This how we were greeted once arriving in Farmington, NM.  A drunk!  We called the cops to come and arrest him, welcome to New Mexico.  What planet did I land on?
