Going down in Elevator. (Jordan)

Loft

Main floor bathroom. (classic of Jordan)

Electric is done. Windows are in. Waiting on insulation. It is a bit muddy-not sure when they will be doing that.

Maggie

When we moved to the country we talked Rob into getting a dog. Rob was not a big "dog person" & did not believe in paying for a dog when you can get them for free. My dad has a Boston Terri or & I went to the Amish store to see if they had one & saw Maggie. I fell in love with her. She was a Miniature Pinscher. We had her for 6 months & it was wonderful. The only thing she did that got on my nerves was she did bark a lot when we had company over or when she saw the vacuum-I didn't like her high pitched bark.
Monday the boys wanted her to ride with me to pick them up from school. When we got home I didn't pull in the garage, so the car was only a few feet from the road. I guess Maggie jumped out of the car & ran into the road. This wouldn't have been a problem normally because we only have one person who drives down this road. Well that person was right there in the road & Maggie ran right under the car. The good thing she didn't suffer & she wasn't all bloody.
We all were soooo sad. We are going to miss her everyday.
We will get another dog. We are not sure what kind to get. I don't want a free one!! I'm leaning toward a Boston Terrier. The boys want a Blue Healer like Josh has- that thing chewed the roof off a car!

For right now we are going to have Rubin over to spend the night. I think when it gets warm we will do some puppy shopping.
Rob wants to have a little service/funeral in the back yard-I'm not real cracked up about that.....

Memorials can be made to the Maggie Hemrich Memorial Fund/i.e.$$$kelly's cash for shoppin$




Our last photo of Maggie & Garrett.


My "little brother" Rubin. He is Amish.

One of the first photos of Maggie.

We have learned a few lessions from this.

Life is precious & fleeting. Be grateful for everything you have.

We all grieve in many ways. Kade went straight to anger. Garrett had sadness & guilt.

We have a lot of love in our hearts for puppies who will love us back.

I've Been A Good Girl!!

I LOVE SANTA!!! I got an iPod nano for x-mas with a pink iHome. I LOVE IT!!

In June we were married 15 years. Rob gave me a Zales bag & my first thought was that someone he works with gave him the bag. When I opened the bag I found my diamond Journey necklace!!! Rob saved for months to buy this for me. When he found the one he wanted he had enough money-but didn't think about sales tax. He had to go out to his truck for more money- I think that is sooooo sweet.

We have had a great year!!!

Christmas 09

Brothers family---so cute!




Kade was all about farming this year. Garrett got a pink bike & a paint ball gun (the bike was a joke).

Looking up at the loft from the main floor.


main floor bathroom. To the left will be an open living room-right will be kitchen. It looks like Josh's dog Blue is chewing on something.

Elevator in main floor living room.

One week after starting. I think it looks pretty good.

What a weekend!!! I just got home from an amazing trip to Nashville. We were there from Friday-Sunday & had a heck of a time. We did soooo many amazing things. I'm sure it will take me a few posts to share. What a GREAT group of girls (and Brett). Some things I won't share...LOL
