Dane, you beat me!

     So, on my way home from school today ideas were running through my mind of what I would post on the blog as soon as I got home from school.  It has been a while, and we definitely have a lot to post about, so I was very excited.  I logged on to post, and what do I find?  My husband has beat me to the blog!  I wasn't planning on writing about his new bike, so I am just going to go ahead with this anyway!
     About two weeks ago I came home from school on a lovely warm fall day to find my house was not quite my house as I had left it in the morning...there was particle board being attached to the sides, and lots of stuff going on around the yard.  To Dane and my utter joy there were men putting up new siding on our little rental house.  We had been told almost six months ago by our landlord that this was the plan, but we hadn't heard much and didn't know when to expect it.  Anyway, for those of you who might have seen our house on the outside, in broad day light before last week, you may remember that it was not much to gloat
 about:
Yeah, the paint was pealing off, large holes had formed (that birds had made into homes, mind you) and I was a little worried about the stability of those back porch posts to be honest.
Anyway, we made guesses with our neighbors what color the siding would be, Dane and I said tan, and Brian and Aleta said blue.  Guess who was right?:
Doesn't it look great?!  I know that it really isn't that big of a deal, but it is nice to come home to a little bit more beautiful place than before!

I love it! Oh, the joys of renting...you don't have to do a thing! Lucky you, it looks awesome. P.S. I saw you having your RS Pres. meeting in the chapel on Sunday. Sorry our choir was so obnoxious to talk over (especially my piano playing). :)

Looks really nice. I'm glad you gave a warning so I don't drive past it the next time I'm in town. Can't wait to see it in person. Looks like you got a new door too. If so, it's long overdue and you're safer.

Hey Bridget! Your house is so cute! I found your blog on Haylee's (which I just found yesterday...lol). Glad to see you guys are doing well!

hey bridget,

thanks for letting me know about my blog link not showing up, I did all this crazy stuff to my account a little while ago...it's a long story. But it should start working on all the comments that I make now, just not on any old comments. Weird. I know.
