Life has been a little crazy for us these past few months. We were planning to buy a house in the Boise area and the week we were going to sign the papers, we found out that Brady's last year of Pharmacy school would be primarily in Twin Falls. So we backed out of buying the house, my wonderful sister got me a hygiene job in Twin Falls for the summer, and Brady's wonderful parents let us stay at their rental home. We took the first week in Twin Falls (before Brady started Pharmacy rotations) to fix up the house. We painted all the walls on the main floor a warm tan color, and painted all the trim white. We then ripped out the carpet in the kitchen, the laundry room, and the wood in the front entryway, and replaced it with nice laminate wood flooring. It made such a difference. And after the main carpet got cleaned it practically looked brand new. There is also a basement that will be nice and cool in the summer and lots of open space for Brexon to run around in. We have absolutely loved living in this house and Brexon loves the space too. Although the week of painting was exhausting, it was worth it, and we are so grateful to all those who watched Brexon for us and helped us move. We will be here until August and then will spend August though October in Boise, then will be back to Twin Falls until Brady graduates in May 2013. We have already had so many blessings through this transition, mainly the timing of my jobs. The office I am at in Twin Falls right now only needs me until August, which is great because then I go back to Boise with Brady. And the office I worked at in Boise for the last 2 years needs me to cover a maternity leave from August to October. The timing is amazing and couldn't have worked out any better. The other blessings have come in the form of loving family, being close to the temple, and Brady being able to work in Twin Falls while we are here without having to commute like we usually do in the summers.
Well here are the BEFORE pictures.

Thank you Tom and Annette for letting us live here! We love it and can't wait for you to come home!

Fate must’ve probably been on your side. I think moving in to a new house also gave you more opportunities and happiness in life! Using nature’s color is a great idea! Natural colors boost up the soothing vibe in any room. How did you decorate the kitchen?
