First House Guests & Crawfish Boil

This weekend we had the Hubby's best friend and wife over for the weekend to see the new house. Which means that last weekend, we were trying to quickly clean out the guest room so we could put the bed in there. It all worked  out, because they had a clutter free room {with a bed} to stay in.

Hubby decided that he wanted to do a crawfish boil while they were visiting. So Saturday morning the boys went out and picked up a sack of live crawfish to boil later that evening. Here are a few pictures I took of the day {with my phone}.

 Now doesn't that spread look yummy?? Luckily  one of our neighbors came by to help us eat some of it. There was so much food!!!

On Sunday after our friends left to go back to Mississippi, we sort of had a lazy afternoon of watching TV. We ended up watching a show on the Cooking Channel about wood oven pizzas, which all looked super yummy. So I'm not really sure how we got the idea to make our own pizza for dinner, but you know.  :)


Hubby found a recipe for pizza dough online. I know I'm a horrible blogger for not remembering where / who he got the recipe from. We put some tomato puree {from a can} along with some dried herbs mixed in as our pizza sauce.

Then we added the leftover crawfish, mushrooms, garlic, and sausage from the crawfish boil on our pizza. Baked at 450 degrees for about 18 minutes, and voila Crawfish Boil Pizza!!!! Let me just say that this crazy idea was delicious!!

Lowe's & Lost Ring

So I don't know if it is just us and our inability to remember everything we need, but I feel like I almost live at Lowe's. We have gone so many times in the past two weeks that I feel like they are going to remember who we are, and start judging us after our third trip to the store in one day. Uhhh! The other day I was going to the grocery store and I went on auto pilot or something because before I knew it, I was at Lowe's!!!

Here is a picture of our first trip to Lowe's that day.

The makings of a mailbox {because someone took the other one}, potting soil, and a few pots to transplant our herbs from the apartment to the house. At the apartment the Hubby had use cinder blocks as pots, but I said it wouldn't go with our new house.

Anyway, the installation of the mailbox post was going along smoothly once the Hubby found the original post's hole by the driveway. Everything was great, we put the cement in the hole and we leveled the post before it all dried. The Hubby went to wash off all the mud from his hands on the side of our house, and realized his ring was gone. Oh my heart sank when he told me that!! So we spent the rest of that day not installing the mailbox part to the post, but looking for his ring. Poor thing thought it had to be where he was washing his hands {and not in the cement foundation of the mailbox post} which just so happened to be next to a rather large ant mound, which i have been trying to kill for days.

Needless to say we didn't find it. I have decided that he made sacrifice to the house and everything else will go smoothly. {Fingers Crossed!}

Do any of you have any crazy stories from when you moved into your house?

Happy Friday & Call Me Maybe Video

First off, yeah for internet at the house!!!! Here are some pictures of use after we signed the papers for the house.

Pictures of the house will follow soon.



And now here's a video that made me giggle. Thank You YouTube!!!

BTW I don't really care that this video is a few months old, it's still frickin' funny! So Happy Friday!!!

Homeowners At Last!!

Just to bring y'all up to speed, since it is already Wednesday, we signed the papers Friday afternoon!! Right after we signed, I went straight to our house {I LOVE saying that} and went to town trying to clean as much as possible before we moved Saturday.

Let me just say that Saturday aka Moving Day drove me C-R-A-Z-Y with everybody asking me where everything went. I had no idea where somethings were going to go, and to be completely honest I still have no idea where something are going. Oh well.

Now for something serious, we don't have internet at our house yet. I'm hoping to have them come out Friday and hook a girl up with some internet and cable, but I'm not sure if that's going to happen. So my posts might be a little sparser for the moment, but don't worry because I have loads of things to tell/show y'all.
