While we're waiting on our wedding pictures... meet Ms. Amber :)

So, I'm trying to keep this blog in (date) order as much as I can, and I don't want to ruin the timeline just yet.... So while we're waiting for our wedding pictures (which we will receive next Wednesday... yay!!!) I'll give you a tour of Ms. Amber :)

As I've said from the very beginning... The first thing I looked out when picking out our house was the street name... this was a no brainer for me :)

You've seen this picture a gazillion times... (Notice the wreath on the door... it was my $40 target splurge I had to talk Mr. Husband in to)

So, I'm going through the house as how we see it everyday when we come home (we come in through the garage). Keep in mind she is a CONSTANT work in progress. When I told Mr. Husband I wanted to decorate the laundry room, he told me I was nuts (he tells me this at least 3 times a week). He later told his parents that I "decorated" the laundry room, and they apparently had a good laugh out of it... but seriously, It's so nice to walk in to everyday when we get home!

Ahhhhh.... we looooovvveee our kitchen...

Our Living Room.... We got lucky in terms of colors. Everything we looked at just ended up working (color wise).

The "Schulman" sign was a wedding gift from my childhood bff. I knew she made these signs and was secretly hoping for one the whole time! We love it and we constantly get compliments on it!!

We ordered this built in and had it installed a few days after we moved in... (Notice the Wii in the cabinet... I love playing Super Mario Brothers, and go crazy (seriously, like unlady like crazy) when I loose.)

Don't mind the T.V. I was only watching one of the best movies ever (Apollo 13) :)

Mr. Husband bought me this... I've always wanted a piano picture (especially because I've played one pretty much my whole life) and this one was modern enough to be able to pull off in our home.

The Barbie Bathroom.... sigh..... I looovvveee this bathroom. Enough said.

The Craft Room. It's not "Sigh" material yet, but don't you worry, it will be!!

My freakin awesome sewing table and chair... bought both for a total of $11 and refinished them.

Half of this room's decor right now is from our wedding... Notice the Veil, dried bouquet, practice bouquet, and card holder...

The Guest Bedroom... for now. I'm going to tackle this room when I have nothing else to do :)

Our Master Bedroom. Lots of sweat and tears went in to this room! The refinished chair by the window, the keys above the bed, the pillows, the curtains (as well as all the curtains in the entire house), and the bench were all put together by yours truly :)

These keys are a perfect example of Mr. Husband thinking I'm crazy when I tell him what I'm going to do, and then being super surprised when I'm done.

Our master bathroom... This room has given me the most trouble, and still is!! It won't be staying this way for long.

Our "Water closet"? <--- I've never heard that term in my life until Mr. Husband said it :)

This room is going to get some bead board, but for some reason it is one of my favorite in the house... it just SCREAMS Danielle :)

Note: I always say that that is Chris and I in the picture dancing, and that my sister is holding the umbrella :)

Like I said, there is still TONS to do, but not bad for some newly weds!!

San Diego, Day 2: U.S.S. Midway

Our second day in San Diego, we went to the U.S.S. Midway. It is a retired air craft carrier, so I was in heaven.... I grew up with my dad building model airplanes, so I'm naturally obsessed with all kinds of airplanes.

Oh yea, you know we had to...

The Calm Before the Storm....

So, the week before the wedding, we went to San Diego. I was super reluctant to go because I had sooooo much stuff left to do before the wedding, but Chris's sister and mom talked me in to going. We rode in the "wedding caravan" the entire weekend (to and from San Diego) putting together favor boxes, programs, etc. It's pretty funny now looking back! Here are a few pic's...

This photo SCREAMED black and white....

This bird was a professional model bird in National Geographic.

The seals were doing what I wish I could be doing... for the past 2 months.

The Gas Lamp District was amazing!

My obsession continues with light poles.

I couldn't get enough of all the flowers all around San Diego. The weather in AZ never lets us look at anything this pretty...

One of our last pictures before we were officially Mr. and Mrs.

We're Back!!!! and what we've been up to....

We're baaaaaacccckkk! As you can imagine, things started to get a little crazy in April, May and June. To start, I'm no longer Ms. Danielle Aspeitia, but more on that later! Let's talk about Ms. Amber! We birthed a house :) Fortunately not too much changed with the house from the last blog post, but here she is!!

Let me take you on a tour...

The Kitchen and Dining Room...

The Living Room...

The Staircase....

The hallway to the bedrooms (It's so small, I probably shouldn't even call it that!)

The Guest Bathroom...

The Scrapbook Room...

The Guest Bedroom...

Master Closet...

Master Bedroom...

Master Bathroom...

Master Bathroom, again...

I swear there was a good reason I took this picture. Maybe I was just so excited about living in something that has more than 700 sq. ft. that I had to capture it on camera :)

That's not all the rooms, but the ones I wanted to document for decorating purposes (more to come on that soon). We love Ms. Amber and are so excited we get to start our new lives here!
