Hi Friends!
Things have been crazy busy over the past month and we have taken up ANOTHER residence - this time at Home Depot. My goodness we're there a lot, although I don't think we went yesterday which would be a first since we got into the house. I could be wrong about that though. The employees know us and are waiting for us to bring us pictures of what we've been doing to the house.
So what have we been doing? Painting. LOTS and LOTS of painting.
Thankfully we started with white walls, so it was super easy to cover.
We have almost the entire downstairs painted - I just need to paint the hallway (my job for today) and the kitchen and then the ceilings. So by almost, I mean we have like half of the walls done. Oh and we need to paint the doors too.
We've changed out all the downstairs door knobs so they look pretty & not brass.
Most of the walls are grey.
1 wall is textured that my AMAZING husband spent a LOT of hard work doing.
We've picked out the kitchen color.
I built our extra kitchen storage (it was rather difficult).
We've rearranged the living room.
We've acquired a fun brightly colored canvas painting and a really pretty mirror that goes with the safari theme in our master thanks to Katie & Jon.
We've balanced the pool (finally).
Had to get the AC fixed.
Anthony made the outlets in the master bathroom work again.
AND We've spent a lot of time at Home Depot.
But things are coming along and I can see the downstairs coming together slowly but surely.
Now to figure out what we want to do with the accent wall & locate an affordable sectional...
love until later,
S

Where Have We Been?!
Hi Bloggy & Bloggy Friends!
It's been awhile now, hasn't it? Well, we sure do have some good & exciting news!
We are NOW officially OFFICIALLY homeowners of the most wonderful house we ever could imagine (after a LOT of house drama - you can read about some of it by clicking on the "house hunting" tab at the top of the page)!
BUT - first we went on vacation to Bass Lake and it was glorious and wondering and I'm STILL recovering from injuries sustained on the trip - haha! Yes - I hurt myself. No this isn't a surprise. My boss informed me my first day back that I am accident prone... I think everyone would agree with that. :)
While at Bass Lake, I managed to smack my knee pretty hard on the intertube. And for someone who isn't supposed to smack her knees ever, it felt like I shattered my knee cap. I didn't. But it was painful. This was on day 2 or 3 of the trip. The trip was 10 days long. We've been back for almost a week. I still have a bruise. I also jumped out of a boat, landed on my ankle wrong and ended up spraining it. I've been walking on it, so it's still not healed. This was the same day as the intertube incident. I then insisted on learning to wake board.
And then we moved. We moved all our stuff into our first home and I have never been more exhausted and my body has not hurt so much (at least not in a LONG time). It's a good hurt and a good exhaustion because we're being productive and VERY active. We haven't stopped moving. Wake up, unpack, put things away, go to work, come home, work on the house, figure out dinner, eat, work on the house, go to sleep. Repeat. It's a ton of work, but it's good. We have a LONG way to go, lots of empty bedrooms, lots of empty space, but it's going to be good & we can't wait to see how God is going to use our home for His work!
We will post pictures when things are a bit settled down - some from vacation (maybe even a video) and some of the house...when it's a little more in order. :)
AND - my awesome in-laws moved to AZ today! Woot!
xoxo
