draw something

Sometimes I need something to do. I also like to draw. 

Enter in the smartphone app:

Recently they've added the ability to save your drawings.

So I did.

Happy 104 Days of Marriage! (but by the time you see this it'll be more)

So my mom today was like did you celebrate you're first 100 days of marriage? and I'm all what? and she's like on your blog ticker it was 100 days the other day. Missed opportunity I guess. (This conversation also included Cody saying in most places it takes 100 days to finalize a divorce so it was so big achievement really. My husband the romantic.)

But hey it is something to celebrate! One of my friend's from BYU-I got married today in Portland which meant I got to go to her reception! It made me nostalgic of my own wedding and realized that some details of that day aren't as fresh as they used to be and it's only been like 3 months! Marriage is just such a happy thing. Every time I get asked "So how's married life?" (which is a lot) I always say "Oh, pretty fantastic." And I mean every word that. We are thoroughly enjoying the "just the two of us" phase. Nothing is difficult for us right now. We're just enjoying life how it is and planning for the years to come.

At the Wedding Reception

For the Uskoski's, marriage is:

• Stir-Fry Dinners most every night (you can use the same ingredients but every time it turns out just a little different)
• Fans in every window through the night to make up for the sauna heat of the day
• Taking turns being a blanket stealer
• Jessica having a magic laundry and dish fairy while she's at work
• Shopping around for bargain furniture to fill our house
• Picking paint colors
• having all our family griping about how we live "so far away". Come on guys it's only 25 minutes! sorry we don't have babies yet to entice people over ;)
• Getting to park both our little nissan sentra's in the garage. Twinners!
• Having an antennae on top of four books on top of a tv tray on top of the coffee table that hold the tv to get the channel in for the Olympics
• IKEA shopping!! 
• Still getting through the seasons of M*A*S*H
• Realizing we can't drink a gallon of milk or other food fast enough before it spoils

 Everything's good with life and we are still just in love.

The Uskoski Residence.
I apology (especially to Gma who I told last Sunday that pictures would be up) for there not being pictures sooner. My laptop had been experiencing technically difficulty to where it tried to delete anything I clicked on because the delete key was kaput. I got a new computer a month ago but it's wifi card didn't want to cooperate so while it was waiting to be fixed you were all stuck in picture limbo.
But here they are and now I've waited too long and there are other things you want to see pictures of more *cough* rosemary *cough*. I know its not a baby but it is a new stage of life for the Uskoski's!

when you walk in the front door and look to your left

i don't know what it is with people wanting maroon bathroom

when you walk in the door and to the right

this is taken in the living room into the formal dining room that will most likely turn into a home office type room

the kitchen (the green will be re-painted)

another view of the kitchen (you can see the formal dining room in the back)

second half of the above picture

the master bedroom. the poor house doesn't have wall or ceiling lights in a lot of the rooms so we found a floor light that they left behind. eventually Cody and his dad (an electrician) will install sconces all over

finally enough space for all our clothes

this picture and below are the other bathroom

view from the master (bathroom is on the right the two other bedrooms are straight ahead)

room 1 which will probably turn into our entertainment room

room 2 aka Jessica's art space

view to downstairs

walk in the front door and this hall is straight ahead to the eating room

the "eating" room and our 10 ikea chairs, 2 makeshift plastic chairs and our makeshift kitchen table

Our first official FHE together was going through and making a list of all the fix-ups and make overs we want to do. I'm so excited to make this space our own, fill it with pictures of us and our loved ones and make it a home.
