Quick Update...

Hey guys! I told you it would be a while, didnt I? Well we are all moved in (kinda sorta)... the house is coming together but very slowly. I have been trying to unpack and organize at the same time so I dont have to go back and reorganize once it is all out of boxes. Therefore making this unpacking a PROCESS. The good news is, is my hubby got our new desk, dining table and entertainment center assembled and the DirectTV is installed, sweeeeet! Now that the furniture is put together we can slowly start putting the rooms together, but again were not moving at a super fast pace just to rush through it.

This house is HUGE. Well, so much bigger than what we were used to. I almost dont know what to do with all the space. I am sure I wont be saying that in about 5 years when we have 2 kids running around and all the closets are packed to the max. But for now, I am enjoying the extra storage space and it actually not looking cluttered with stuff. It actually looks like our house is somewhat "clean" when in reality its not... that part is goooooood about the new place!

I will post pictures soon, just too embarrassed right now to show you the mess of the new place... but I promise, once I start hanging some art or get some rooms "completed" I will post for you guys!!!

Until next time ;)

Closing in 6 Days!

Sorry I have been MIA for a while. Things have been busy as usual and I often want to blog and then never find the time to do it.

Its official, we are closing in 6 DAYS! We will move in next Friday but we have our final walk thru and closing on Tuesday! It cannot come any quicker and I could not be more excited to be in our home!

We have lived with my sister and Jeff now for almost three months and we cannot thank them enough for opening their house to us and letting us live in their space. But let me tell you, I cannot wait to have my own space back! It's crazy how much you under appreciate your space till you loose it and your living in just a tiny room and out of a suitcase, literally! So we will be moving in on Friday, our packrat unit gets delivered Thursday sometime and the movers come on Friday morning to help unload the heavy furniture. We hired them for 2 hours and once that 2 hours is up, all the rest is on us! Hopefully they can at least get all the heavy pieces upstairs, without damaging the walls or our furniture haha!

I recently bought some nightstands on Craigslist 2/$25 dollars, couldn't pass it up! I am hoping once the weather cools down some and I can stand to be outside for more than 10 minutes, I will refurbish them and our bedroom makeover will be on! I plan to DIY a headboard, refurbish the nightstands, and go from there! The color scheme in the bedroom is a mustard yellow, with taupe, brown and gray accents. I hope everything pulls together just right!

Building a house has been such an amazing process. It feels like we have been building forever but when I say we are moving next week, it sounds like it went so fast! I never thought at the age of 24 I would have built a house! We plan to raise our kids in this house so we are preparing to be there for at least 15 years! This house is going to withstand a ton of memories, good and bad. I am so excited for the years to come in this new chapter in our life.

We are going to have a housewarming party probably in October so I have lots of unpacking and decorating to do until then!!!

I might be MIA again for a bit till we get our internet up and running in the new house and I can find some spare minutes to do a post, but maybe next week after the walk thru and the house is sparkling, I can post some pictures of the final product!

Until next time... :)
