Pigvan Rides Again!

Pigvan has awoken from a coma of 12 months, where it resided in our driveway, to take its rightful place on the road. Under the masterful hand of pig-surgeon Dr. Drew, all the pieces have been replaced just right and it's up and roaring. Because it roars. Not purrs. Not hums. Roars. There's something thrilling about driving a very powerful and very loud machine.

Update

We've been in our new place about three weeks, and we've got everything unpacked except for Drew's office, the garage, and the wall hangings. I feel like that is an enormous feat, and I'm proud of myself. I even disposed of the furniture we couldn't fit in the house, and all the moving boxes to some grateful people on craigslist. Those free ads are the best. The people came so quick!
The neighborhood is pretty cool, and seems fairly relaxed. I have a reeeeally cool neighbor across the street. She come and goes freely, as does her 4 year old son. Just what a wanted in a neighbor. I have another not-so-nice neighbor, but we won't talk about her.
I've been doing a diet with Becky and Drew, called feeling great in eight. So far, it's working well! We've been eating healthier and exercising together. It's great! Becky, I still need to check in with you!
That's about all I'm up to nowadays!

Kitchen remodel... To be cont...

The girls got to help paint the kitchen before the cabinets were put in. I really appreciated their help and they had fun!
This is my MAGNETIC WALL! That's right you can paint on a magnetic wall, so we put it on the fridge wall since our fridge isn't magnetic.... We'll have to let you know how that turns out and if it works well.
This is our beautiful new sink Eric just put in! I love love love it!

I don't know if you can see it well enough, but this is showing the countertop and the bevelled edge Eric added to make it look nice :). Yay!

More coming soon!!! Hopefully we finish today!

Living in organized Chaos!






















So we are coming to an end with the Kitchen Demolition. We had a few friends over last night and got it all out! Thanks to Matty, David, Rob and Jason (neighbor) who just stopped by. Kevin came by and got most of the tile and carpet out with Jesse last week, and then Arieh, Marcie and Eddy came over after and helped get the rest and take out the base boards. Friends and family are amazing!
David and Becky also came over and helped me paint Linzy's room PINK! Thanks guys, it's perfect!

Sewing Projects







So my niece had her baby shower yesterday. She has a 2 year old little boy Ender, and is now expecting a baby girl Scarlett. I made my car seat cover ALL BY MY SELF! It was the first thing I had ever sewn so I am very proud of it. I decided since I know how to sew the cover, I'd make one for Qait, my niece. I also ended up making a nursing cover and covering a baby wipes box. I think they turned out sooo cute!!
