Future House

Our Future House



Currently we are on pins and needles awaiting a response from the bank saying "You got the house!" In which we will proceed to jump for joy!!! :) So until that comes I can't say for sure that this will be our house. But if all goes well this will be our future home.


I have been planning out different ideas that i have for certain rooms. In our current house i went a little extreme on the colors so i am going to tone it down a bit in our next house.


Here is my idea for the kitchen:

Jackson Family Update...

(One of my recent favorite picture of Peter at Red Robin)





Hello everyone,




I know we havent been on here in months and I am sorry about that! I had a little free time and decided I should put up a blog post. I have recently gotten into following quite a few other blogs and wish that I could do the same. One of my favorite blogs: http://www.younghouselove.com/ has inspired me to give it a try. We will see how I do. I am going to try and commit to posting atleast once a week.


For the past few months we have been in the process of buying a home. We placed on offer on a cute little house in the South Everett area in May. Unfortunately its a short sale which is good and bad. We have yet to hear from the bank....so we are constantly wondering when we are going to hear back. Out lease for our apartment is up in July so we decided to temporarily stay with Rod, Signe and Tyler until we are able to move into our new house. I will post more information on the house and what our plans are for it in a seperate post.



Peter is already 1! I cannot believe it! We celebrated his birthday at the Bothell Landing park in Downtown Bothell. The weather turned out great and we had a great show of people. We barbequed burgers and Peter ate his first cupcake :)




Peter is growing faster than I can believe. He is such a joy to be with everyday! I cant imagine our lives without him. He runs in circles around our apartment and I am sure will love our new house once he can play out in our future yard.


Well......I got to run. Peter just woke up from a nap. I will post more pictures later this evening.
