Decisions, decisions

We were able to see some of our countertop and flooring options this week. It was so exciting to see what could be the makings of our house! I can't even believe I'm going to post these pictures, the quality is terrible. Really, really terrible. My camera battery was fading fast so I had to do quick picture taking. Anyway, all excuses aside, here are our options (sans upgrade options!):

Just one of the 74ish linoleum options for bathroom floors

I know, it's so blurry you can hardly tell what it looks like,

but these are our tile options for both bathroom and kitchen

 counters. It's hard to tell, but between the next two

pictures there are four options. Which do you like best? 

We like the bottom picture, right hand tile option.

Seriously, I'm supposed to pick a carpet color from

a one inch square?

We were really excited about these floor options 

Any opinions or tips on flooring would be great. Are you a dark carpet or light carpet person...and why? Which wood color do you like best? Still no word on the permits, which means they haven't broke ground yet, but we are hoping that will all happen next week.

Wet Ducks

Neither Erik or I went to UofO, but we got tickets to the game this weekend, and we got to sit next to Melissa and Geoff too! I'm pretty sure Erik planned the weather so I will quit asking to go to games with him. I've never been so wet in my life...honestly. Good thing they won, made it worth it! We had a blast. These pictures were actually taken at the very beginning of the game. We should have taken "after" pictures, huh Lis?!

Notice who doesn't have ponchos! Hmmm...

Melissa was quite bundled up!

Some of my new favs!

So, I realize for most of you our wedding is old news, but I finally downloaded our wedding pictures. We loved our wedding big time, so it's been so fun looking through and remembering. We are really excited about our wedding pics, and here are just a few. Can you forgive me for posting a non house related post :)

The ceremony...

I love this picture, two of my favorite men on earth looking so focused!

Oh the Hemry kids...will we ever grow up?! I sure hope not!

There's not much to say about this one, Erik has great friends!

No News is Good News...We Hope!

Well, there hasn't been much new news regarding our house. We did get a gigantic packet of Title paperwork, which was thrilling to read! It has been fun to start thinking about room colors, furniture, and decorations. Since we don't have any new news, I thought I'd show you all the floor plans of our house, and Erik was nice enough to scan them in for me!

We are super excited about the plans. Our house will actually be flipped the opposite way the picture shows. Some of my favorites inlude the biggest under stair closet ever. It not only goes the length of the stairs, but wraps around in an L shape as well! Another fave is the double doors into our room! What do you like best??

Our New Blog

Hello all. We are almost 4 months into this wonderful marriage of ours, and we are so blessed in so many ways. One of the new ways is being able to buy a new home. We (okay, Erin) thought it would be fun to document the process for all to see! The goal is to be in our new home by the end of February. Maybe we should take bets on if that will actually happen! We hope you enjoy this journey with us.

It's Official!

View of the front of our new house. Well technically, it's a neighbor's new house, but it's the same floor plan, so we can all pretend for now..right? Ours will likely be a similar color, but with a dark charcoal trim and a fun rusty red/orange door! Let's see if it actually works out that way.

The window you can see downstairs is the dining room. The small upstairs window is the laundry room and the big upstairs window is one of the bedrooms. So...what do you think??
