Prom 2007

Every year Brad and I chaperon the Clinton High prom. Since we never went to the prom together in high school, it's fun to go now that we are married. We get our pictures taken and go out for a nice dinner (sponsored by CHS). I love to see what all the girls are wearing. This year, polka-dots seemed to be very popular. I saw black and white, brown and white, and various accent colors. It was very interesting.

Our first post was the coke table. Here's a pic of me and the other Spanish teacher, Jan, serving cokes.















Here's the check-in table, where each couple has to check in and out of the dance. This was our last post at 11pm, so we weren't very busy.















Here's a pic of fellow chaperones, Megan (math teacher) and her boyfriend, Wade.















A group pic of Brad (far left) and some of his Spanish students.















Clinton High Principal, J. Reeves. He's always a good sport.

La Casa de Los Freeny Seis

These are the most up to date pics that we have.

Here, I'm taking a look up into the attic.




















The following are pics of the sheetrock and drywall being put on.











































































These are pics of the finished (for the most part) brick.













































This is the outside of the fireplace being bricked up.






























This is the finished interior fireplace in the great room. It's my favorite part of the house!




















Right now, we are awaiting the trim carpentry to begin. The trim carpenter is finishing up with the house next door, and then he will start on ours! Once that begins, we should know an approximate closing date. We'll keep you posted!

La Casa de Los Freeny Cinco

The house has really started to transform as they begin work on the inside. The rooms are becoming more defined, and we can begin to picture where we want to put furniture. Recently, we had to mark where we wanted our telephone and cable outlets, which was no trouble, since we have neither right now. Brad suggested we just not have them, but I pointed out that it might make the house harder to resale in the future.




















The electricians have wired the house.

The following are some photos of the heating and air ducts in the ceiling.

































































This is the fireplace with the spot lights over it.




















Someone left us a strange message on the wall. Not sure what it means. Maybe they are gang symbols? Hmmm. . .




















Oops! A board got broken! Don't worry, it was replaced.















The roof is put on at last! The color is called Weathered Wood. It looks great with the brick.















Front view of the house with our new roof.




















That's a big mess outside. Glad I don't have to clean it up.

The next 2 pics are of the insulation within the walls.








































The sheetrocking begins. It is amazing how rough it is to begin with, but how smooth it turns out in the end.























































This was a rough spot, but now, you can't even tell it was there.















The bricks are brought in and we're ready to start! The brick color is called Belhaven Mod, queen size.




















This brick was done in about a day!
















Our tubs and showers were brought in.
Stay tuned for more pics!
