Rhode Island Here I Come!
Today I booked my airplane ticket for Rhode Island. I will be leaving from Minneapolis on Wednesday morning the 25th. I well be staying there until Monday the 30th. When I fly home.
While I am in Rhode Island I will be visiting my best friend Leah. I will be staying with her and her husband. I will also be meeting my little nephew Kason when I get there.
There are really no set in stone place while I am there. Friday one of Leah's friends is having a adult toy party. With the group of ladies that will be there, it will be a wonderful evening.
Hopefully Saturday night we will be able to get a group of friends to go out and party it up for my Birthday!
If Kason is not home yet, I plan on spending as much time as possible with him at the hospital.
I have started to plan in my head what I will need and want to take with me. I have also started planning at work what needs to be done and who is going to help with the kitchen stuff when I am gone.

Four Season Porch
One of the big projects Russ and I have been working on his the Four Season porch. When Russ and I first met he had just started to work on the room. He had hired a guy to hang the dry wall. I told Russ that it would be fun for us to paint the room. But no he had this guy do it.
Once the walls were done Russ and I worked on the window box, base board, and door frame. Russ also tired to clean the floor because the guy did a terrible job of protecting the floor. The floor had not salvageable. The tiles were old and the ones that had been in the house for years. We were both really upset that we had to redo the floor. After two weekend the floor was finally done. Russ did a GREAT job at laying the tile. Everything was done but a few touch up on the walls. I got the paint out and started doing them. Come to find out the color did not match. We have no clue what had happen. After a few trying of trying to match the color we had no luck. We end up having to re-paint the whole room. I will say this was not fun at all. Between custom window boxes, base board, door frames and wood stove box and everything. But after a long week it was done.
We end up getting some furniture at a second hand store that was in great shape. Also when we were at my parent house getting some of my stuff that was still there. Russ spotted an old antique lamp in my parents basement. My dad told Russ that we could have it if we wanted it. I did not like that idea but knew Russ really wanted it so I agree to take it. It need some TLC thou. Russ and I clean it and polished it up and know that is also in the room.
We still need to decorate the porch but we have a few ideas. I have two black and white and one color pictures to hang on the far wall. They are from the Jackson Street Railroad Museum. We are also trying to work on a Light Box Frame for some more of the pictures we took the the museum.
As of right now that is the room. One the other end of the porch will go my desk for the time being. The hope is to use the extra rooms upstairs for my office and craft room. But this room needs a lot of work and is a bit far done and the project list.

Welcome to my Blog!
The Basics:
My name is Rebekah, but all my friend call me Beka(h). I am almost 25 years old. I have lived in Wisconsin for about 10 years now. I have lived in Western Wisconsin for about 5 years now.
I attended UW Stout and graduate in May 2009 with a Bachelors Degree in Human Development and Family Studies and a minor in Disability Service. I work for a non-profit agency that is a day service and vocational program for adults with disabilities.
Interest:
I love to be able to be creative. I enjoy taking photographs. But more than taking pictures I love to scrapbook. I tend to do a lot of little crafty things when possible. I also like to do DIY projects.
I enjoy relaxing and talking TV now and again, but not all the time. Some of my favorite shows are NCIS, Army Wives, and Dog the Bounty Hunter. I enjoy watching a good movie also. I do not like horror movie at all thou.
The Man in my Life:
My boyfriend name is Russ. We have been together just over 3 months now. Russ is a Heating and Air Conditioner Technician. He owns his own house in a VERY small town. He has a better half names Rocky. Rocky is a golden retriever and is almost 2 years old.
The Next Step:
Russ owns a very old house. We have been spending most of our weekend working on his house. There is still out of work both inside and out to be done. Over the next few weeks, I will be moving in with him. We have started this slowly but I have to be all moved out by the middle of August.
I hope you will join me as I see where life will take me next.
