So many updates! (Wife)

I have no idea how to even start updating everyone. I keep meaning to get on here and tell everyone how things are going but then I get home and get distracted enjoying my life. Sorry! I'm completely enjoying my job, it's majorly stressful and full of deadlines so it's wonderful. I'll start out with the news of how great my Cole is. I got home one day a couple weeks ago to have him pull me out back and show me what color he painted the trim of the house. I know that may sound normal, but we actually hadn't talked about doing it really. He knew what color I wanted to do eventually but he figured that since he had to paint his shop, he would just do the whole house. It looks so good. He got this really dark blue color, I guess you would call it like a twilight blue. I completely love it. So then I decided to get ambitious and begin work on my sunroom before my mom arrived. I sanded the bench seat because it was gross with the former owners dogs having torn it up. I sanded all of that...

...then I decided that my window above my sink in my kitchen bothered me because the stain was pealing so I sanded that too and then stained everything so it's all pretty.

My mom arrived soon after and Cole switched out the fan from Melissa's bedroom and put that in the sunroom while he took the light from the sunroom, spray painted it a pretty dark brown color and put that up in the bedroom.

My mom and I then went shopping the majority of the time that she was here, which is always a great time. We went to Medford on Saturday and...went to Costco. Please keep in mind that she has an SUV...
Yes, I did completely fill it up, and those ice chests are full. Cole said he did not even want to know the amount of money spent. BUT, everything but yogurt could be frozen so I just figure I purchased meat for the rest of they year.

On the Sunday that my mom left I was so sad that Cole cheered me up by taking me car shopping. There's nothing like listening to him tell the salesman what's what to make a girl feel all proud. My pretty Ashley car should arrive in November, YAY! If it's doesn't arrive by then...via craigslist...I will have to just go out and steal it from one of the many people around here who are hording them. Selfish people.

Anyway, we also decided to replace all of the doors in our interior, Cole is taking full advantage of my promotion as you can tell, just kidding. This is the door from the kitchen that goes out to the garage.
It got a thermal dog door added. Gracie and I are SPOILED.
The back garage door was replaced with a nice new insulated metal door... jamb and all....we even got a really high quality deadbolt set. Our house is finally all keyed the same.
Last but definitely not least...my little girl has an accessory fetish.
