In appliance love

Well here's another one to home ownership! 
 *cheers*

While cooking dinner last Sunday and enjoying a bottle of wine, we heard a "tick" I thought it was the lid to my pot I had placed on the stove about to break so I removed it and put it in the sink and heard "tick" we'll shit now I'm confused! Then all of a sudden it gets faster "tick tick tick" ... "tick tick tick tick" ... And I look at the stove and all the burners were sparking like they were trying to light.

Ahhh of course I freak out thinking my house is gonna blow up so we reach around and unplug it from the wall. Thinking it rest it self, we plug it back in and it kept sparking, well seeing as we were in the middle of cooking dinner we had to finish so we dealt with the "tick tick tick" and finished our dinner quickly then unplugged the stove.

After dinner we took apart the stove to see that the mice had found their way into the stove top (again) and made a nice home.
*BOO*

So of course we were both beyond discussed that we didn't realize this earlier ..

So bye bye old nasty stove and hello new one :)
I was made we had to buy a new stove when we needed a dishwasher or fridge but I cook every night so its a necessity.

I love our new one way better 
Its the simple things in life that make me happy.

Our Home!

Since August my husband

(were not married yet but we refer to each other as if we are
and also we call each other by our middle names; Marcus and Beverly)
 ok now with a little background information out of the way we can move along! 

So since August we have been searching for our home and we have been jumping threw hoops for this home and finally as of January 19, 2012 we have a place to call OUR HOME :)

It's a wonderful two story 4 bedroom 3 full bath home.
When we saw it we knew right away it was the place we wanted to raise our family!
But the kicker is this house was TRASHED by the previous tenets ..
So it is in major need of a whole house remodel, here are some before
and during remodel ..

Master Bedroom!
 I love the bay window

Painting our accent wall

I love how it turned out cant wait to finish the rest of the room!
(UPDATE: ended up hating the blue so as we speak were in the middle of a whole new paint job!)

Office

No flooring in office and whole in every single wall ..

The fan was disgusting and dad and Uncle Kerry
put new flooring in for us .. Yay!

New paint and 6" base board make this look amazing!
Oh and were making built in book case in the closet!
