Guess what! Bentley is 9 months old.  I can’t believe it has been 3 months since I last posted…. eekkk…  I knew it had been awhile, but I couldn’t remember how long.

The Christmas trees are now down – although there is still Christmas decorations in the kitchen.  I am still working on getting those down

I have been making major changes in the house! That is exciting news right? I have officially decided that I am turning the TV room into the office/client meeting room.  I am very excited about this! I have already picked out all the furniture for the room and checking it out tomorrow.  I plan on actually buying the furniture next month or whenever the room gets finished.  There was a slight water leak in the ceiling from the P trap upstairs.  The bath was having some major leaking issues.  It’s amazing that my ceiling didn’t just fall apart there was so much water up there.  There was another leak as well in the wall in the downstairs bathroom – that was just a solder joint gone bad.  Luckily, my boyfriend is amazing at fixing things and he easily fixed both! Yeahs!

hmm… that was lighting… its so strange to see lighting! It has been so many months

continuing on..

So, since the TV room is now being taken over by the office – where to put the TV? Well – there is a little nook area on the other side of my fireplace that was just kind of dead space.  It is now occupied by a gorgeous section and ottoman that I am in love with.  The section is a normal couch with a chaise that jets out to the left – the section makes an L shape and its all said and done.  The ottoman was such a great purchase and I am very happy that I added it to the mix.  I have a cream 7x9ft rug underneath it all since my floors are hardwood.  I just think a couch should have carpet under it so that your feet don’t get cold! I am getting a new TV as well – I have an old TV in a giant, heavy box… it is one of those from the 1970′s… pretty amazing. So, I have a new LG flatscreen HDTV picked out and I am in love with it.  My boyfriend again ( did I mention he was amazing? ) ran cable up to the TV in the new room, plus he is running it upstairs so that we can put a TV in the bedroom.

I am trying to think if there are any other major changes… not really for the moment.  I will add pictures as the office and bathroom progress more.. at the moment not a lot is happening besides the gorgeous holes in the walls that are still open.  I think those are going to be covered up this week.

Here are some cute pictures of Bentley that I took the other day and sent to his breeder for an update:
