...and the house is still a work in progress :) We have made re-doing the bathroom, updating the kitchen and painting our priorities. Well, the bathroom is nearing completion. The new tub is in, the light switch is in a different place and we have a nifty pocket door installed. The sheet rock is up, and round 1 of mud is on the walls. When I return (currently in a Hyatt in Minneapolis traveling with the Wizards), we'll start the sanding process. The bathroom should be complete by the end of July. The other stuff is a little more iffy at this point.
Big thanks to both of our families for all the help so far (and future thanks for all the help I'm sure we'll receive). Michael, Marcela's bro, has been a wiz at re-trimming some windows. Marcela, her mom and my mom have been (liquid) sanding the cabinets in the kitchen so they can be painted white. Marcela's father installed our deadbolts and will soon be constructing some light sconces in the bedroom. My dad has helped with various installations in the bathoom. Michael and Drew, Kyle's bro, were dubbed the bash brothers for their work in ripping out the previous bathroom fixtures and wall finishing. I'm sure there's plenty more to come, but we really appreciate everyone's willingness to help and give up their time.
We recently got our engagement pictures back, so those will be posted here pretty soon. For being a blogger by day, I've been pretty crappy at keeping this blog up to date *slaps own wrists*. The Enforcer (Marcela) has told me I better shape up. She just wants that nickname to carry over to Hillcrest Road so she'll become famous :)
Anyway, we (I) promise to make the updates more frequent. We have some house pictures and some engagement pictures to post here soon.

We Bought a House!!
WELCOME TO THE ROGER-IGUEZ HOME!Bet most of you weren't expecting that, now were you?? We now own a cute little story-and-a-half home in the Waldo area of Kansas City, Mo.We have three bedrooms, one bathroom and a screened in porch that is currently our favorite part of the house.
As soon as we took possession, we started making the place our own. The bathroom is currently gutted and will soon take on its new form that we are designing and installing. This is just the first of many projects. We will be working diligently over the next few months in hopes of making updates and transforming this house into our new home.
We can't wait for all of you to come by and check it out!
