A House, An Easter Bunny, and a Dog

We have had some new renovations done on our home. I was talking with Jeni the other day and she couldn't believe that I still had aluminum foil on my bedroom windows leftover from the hurricane. Yes I do. Listen, during a hurricane when you are living two weeks without electricity and water in the dead humid heat you learn to keep the house cool other ways. We only have one room air conditioner which is in the living room and doesn't keep the bedroom cool so we just left it up. So this is your picture Jeni of our ghettoness bedroom windows.

Well we finally took them down!! Yes we finally stopped living so ghetto style. I know, I can't believe it either. We put up these energy saving curtains. They're nice. Not fancy but they will get us by in this little trashy home of ours. These block out light and heat so they are really nice. I put them up on the 4 windows in our living room and the other 4 in our bedroom. Yeah I have a lot of windows in tiny rooms so there is a lot of heat that comes in.

For those of you who didn't know we didn't have a shower, just a bath and when you have to bathe yourself every day using a cup to wash the shampoo off, it sucks!! It beyond sucks!! I hated it plus its a big waste of water. So I finally made Jeff install a 'ghetto' style shower. I thought it would like with the rest of the theme of the house. Anyway, we unscrewed the tub nozzle and put in a shower head with a 5 foot extension cord.

Well in the above picture we put two screws in the wall to mount it but that only worked for about 2 days because the wood is so weak from termites and the water that the screws didn't stay so now here is our official shower. You can sit in the bath and be lazy and shower! Okay that's not what we do. The water just runs on our legs while we shampoo and then we grab the showerhead and wash it off our heads. Wow! Its the most fantastic thing ever!!

Easter came and the bunny did come to our house! Aren't my baskets cute?

Jeff looks so happy about our baskets. Look at that face. He is such a kid when it comes to candy. Too bad I didn't get him any sour patches. He would have gone crazy. Its his favorite.

Ah, Easter was awesome actually. After church we went over to my friend Brandi's house and her fiance Logan and had a lunch there. Ham, deviled eggs, (which I apparently didn't know are a must for Easter holiday, who knew), potatoes, and a whole bunch of stuff. I love having other couples to hang out with.

Now we come to the wonderful Nala part of our blog. Isn't she adorable??? Here she is chewing her bone.

Oh and this is hilarious! I lay down and she lays down behind me but wants my attention so she puts her head on top of mine and goes to sleep. She really does!

See!!!

And she loves giving Jeff kisses!!!
