Finally. A New Post!

Well goodness, there has been so much that has taken place over the last couple months. For those of you who don't know, we finally moved into our new home and it is beautiful. Of course it is not entirely "done" , but it is coming together over time. It's a constant project, but we're loving being homeowners! We have put up some pictures for those of you who haven't seen it on our Facebooks, so make sure to have a look at the inside so far! We have been sleeping in the guest bedroom until our master bedroom set arrives from Ashley Furniture, which hopefully we will be getting that within the next week or so! Can't wait to sleep on our giant California King and pillow top mattress! It's the little things that count right?! ;)




















Lets see...being that we have not had a chance to get around and update our blog, here are a few updates as of the last couple months;

1.As many know, we already had two kitties, or Noah and Napua, then 4 months ago picked up our newest addition (pup), or Remington. Most recently, we felt Remi really needed a bud while we were away at work, so we made the decision to get the final hehe, and most newest addition to our family... little Lucy Buttons. She has been a wonderful little gift, and Remi just adores his buddy more than ever.




2.Kelsey turned 25 on October 9th, as we decided to drive to Orange County and visit friends and family. Turned out to be a great visit, full of lots of new memories!

Colby put together a beautiful relaxing surprise the night before we left for OC!




On our way to OC...







3.BIG NEWS!!! We had our 1 year Anniversary just yesterday! It was so neat to look back and remember our big day.Gosh, how time flies by so quickly! It was lovely! We went to what is our favorite restaurant, good ol Yummy Outback Steakhouse! After our bellies were completely full, we pulled out our wedding cake top that had been frozen in the freezer for a year, although, we never got around to tasting it until the next morning, when we decided to have wedding cake/diet coke for breakfast. :) Good healthy choice right! ;) All in all, wonderful and memorable 1 year.

4.Halloween is coming up, and we have our very first set of House Guests that weekend, which we are thrilled about, the soon to be Mr. and Mrs. Daniels Stewart! (Danny and Erika), so we're looking forward to that!

5.Jobs are going wonderfully at this time, we feel so blessed to have landed great positions (especially in this economy) and to work alongside good people always helps too. :) Colby is planning on enrolling for school this next semester,as he would love to potentially get his engineering degree, however, should he go with plan b, it will end up being a business degree. :)

So be on the lookout for any new and upcoming events in our lives, and we promise to keep you all posted more often. Now that we have our home, things have started to settle down a bit more so.

God bless always!

A New Home

As some of you may know...we have been in the market for A New Home/Our First Home...ever... for some time now! Over the last few months we have been looking, but we finally and recently decided that we were very much ready to get a move on with this process!

The last few weeks we had started looking for homes big time/ alongside watching quite the variety of Home Buying shows ;)-HDTV is our new friend!... Alas! We got to narrowing our search down for areas to live in (Bakersfield)...

Rylan Rozell (Colby's Brother) has been our agent, and a wonderful one at that to work with! Needless to say, upon looking at various homes/drives bys/searching via internet etc. Rylan set us up with a walk through (looked inside 6 homes right after work, boy that was tiring) just last Wednesday, our hopes started to fade just a bit, then finally...the very last one, everything was perfect in every way! A total God thing! We could actually see ourselves in this adorable 3 bedroom/2 full bath home which had only been put on the market a mere 10 days prior! So... we did it... we decided to place an offer on this perfect future home... and two days later, our offer was accepted!!!! We literally couldn't believe it!!!

So now, we have our two beautiful kitties, Noah and Napua/ + our brand new little hairy guy of 3 months (aka:baby shih tzu- Remington), and we're all very much ready to move into our first home as one big happy family!

Of course this process can take a while as some may know from experience, and of course it has to close escrow, but we wanted to keep everyone updated on this process, as it is such an exciting new step for us as newlyweds of nine months...goodness how time flies by so quickly!

We would like to share with you all the pictures of the new home! ...not quite ours, but we're sure working on it. ;)

Enjoy!

4th of July 2009

This past weekend was much fun, being that it was 4th of July weekend, and a long one at that, always so nice! Very much needed for the both of us! :) All day Friday, we went looking for homes, and we finally started narrowing down our search of perferred areas to live in...yay! We found about 4 homes that seemed to capture our interest, out of the 20 total Colby had looked up the night before on M.L.S... so we're hoping to get some walk throughs lined up asap through Colb's brother Rylan. Needless to say, anyone who has been through the home buying process would know that it's a lot of work, and very exhausting at that! Yet, we're very much excited to get a move on with this next chapter of our lives, and really get settled in as a newly formed family!

Saturday, was wonderful! Woke up around 10am, and got ready to go over to our dear friend's home- Randy and Kandace Poteete for a little fun in the sun. We even took little Remington who is now 3 months old!!!...kitties had to stay home of course, poor things,yet cats and fireworks don't really seem to flow together. ;) Remi had a complete blast, as Randy and Kandace also have two little Bijon Frise doggies- Chandler and Woodstock. Remi, and their new little Woodstock, or Woody as we all call him, immediately became inseparable as best buds; while wrestling around all day long, while Chandler naturally took on the role as supervisor as the older and more mature dog of course, ultimately wearing each other out to the max...wonderful for us! Meantime, we were all playing around in the sunshine at the pool! What a blast it was! We then went over to Kandace's grandparents for a neighborhood block party barbecue, and got to watch some fun fireworks on the street which Randy and Colby set off. Remington slept through the entire show!!! Couldn't believe it!

What an eventful and fun weekend! Check out our pics from 4th of July 2009!

Bringing Home Remi

So, it's been about a week and a half since we've had little Remington or Remi as we like to call him...and we're very much in love with our crazy little man whom seems to be showing his playful personality with each day! He has adjusted so beautifully with our small and newly formed family! He absolutely loves hoarding all of his toys, alongside the kitty's toys (They don't mind whatsoever either!) and stuffs each and every one into his adorable blue bed (which one of his grandma's sent him) then plants his bootie on them and falls right asleep. Noah and Napua have already taken to him, in fact, Noah has almost taken on a daddy role. In fact, it was really apparent the other day when we found Noah and Remi canoodaling the and Noah was letting Remi nibble and lick his ears, while laying on him. It's almost as if they both know he's a baby. We're so blessed to have gotten such a little joy and to have him fit perfectly with us is so awesome! Even now, we can't seem to picture our family before we had him and his loving little self! We feel very complete!

So here's some pics of Remington over the past week and half- at eleven and a half weeks old!

Remington Cowboy Rozell- or Remi

So, it is indeed the truth... we have decided to add on a little new addition to our small family, and we couldn't be more excited, as we've been thinking about this for some time now! He will arrive as of June 13th, 2009! Colby thought we would name him after the brand of guns: Remington, and Cowboy happened to be his Shih Tzu dad's first name, where oddly enough...Cowboy was also Colby's nickname growing up...so it did seem quite fitting!

Anyhow, go and have a look at our little cowboy whom looks just like a tiny EWOK!

Go watch Remi play!

Wine Tasting in Paso Robles/San Luis

What a fun past weekend this was! We went to Paso Robles for a friend's 25th Birthday, Kandace Poteete...and went wine tasting at 3 different tasty vineyards. We also joined a Wine Club... called Jan Kris Winery! After the wine tasting, we then checked into our beautiful little hotel located in San Luis Obisbo, and caught a taxi cab ride to downtown where we had a perfect Italian style dinner to celebrate the birthday girl, then went out and danced our booties off that night! The next morning, we all ate at this cute little restaurant called the Apple Farm Inn! So adorable!

A Night full of Tunes

Wednesday- May 20th, 2009

About two months ago, we booked tickets to go see No Doubt/Paramore and the Sounds in concert at the big Rabobank Amphitheater here in Bakersfield, as we absolutely love No Doubt and Paramore individually, where combined... AMAZING and PRICELESS! Well, the concert had finally arrived, and we couldn't believe it was already that time! Life seems to have been flying right by lately! Anyhow, we both got off of work, and went to this cute little popular grill just around the corner called Tailgaters for some pear cider and newcastle to start the evening off...we then headed to the very crowded amphitheater where we started to dodge people left and right to get to our seats and finally settle in to our much awaited concert. It was literally one good band after the next, and No Doubt was by far SO AMAZING! Gwen Stefani came just a few feet away from us and started singing one of their most popular, yet older, but always good songs "I'm Just a Girl". What a surreal moment that was! All in all, it was one of the best concerts that we have ever gone to, well...other than Michael Buble' that is. :)It was then off to Taco Bell for some late night dinner tacos, then straight to bed for yet another work day on Thursday...thanks for the night of mental escape No Doubt, much appreciated!
Enjoy the pics!
