Our New Home

Our house is becoming home. We knew we'd have additional expenses being that this was a foreclosed house. Some things we're finding out were done sloppy because they ran out of money... but we're happy! So happy! We love this house and feel so lucky to have it! We have only three empty rooms, but two will be filled very soon. We are lucky enough to be able to use Lauren's college furniture in one of our spare bedrooms. It will be very special and meaningful for us to have this. We're picking it up this weekend in Raleigh. The other room is Colston's room. We are getting this crib this weekend too (hopefully) and the glider and ottoman should be arriving in the next 4 weeks or so. The only thing we need for his room is a changing table and we're going to use a neat looking chest table for that. I'd love to have his room done in time for my shower which is Oct. 3. We're having it at our house and my dear sister and friends, Lacey and Ashley are hosting it for me. The last room that needs to be filled is the living room. Kyle's mom (an interior decorator) has drawn everything out so we know what sizes and what sort of shapes we want each piece of furniture to be... it's just a matter of finding the pieces, saving up, and prioritizing expenses at this point.

The electricians are here now. They are putting dimmers on most of our lighting and fixing a few things that were oddly wired. The garage door was just fixed. The cabinet man was out today giving me a quote on something.... so as you can see it's busy around here. I'm enjoying getting it all done before I go back to the dreaded work week. It's only about 8 weeks so I guess I can handle it. :)
