New


We moved into our house two weeks ago!  The closing process went surprisingly smoothly and we were living in the house that very day!  The house was so much dirtier than we even thought!  Our families helped us clean the house and move everything over that weekend.  So far we have finished cleaning, painting and decorating the living room.  There is so much work to be done!  I know we have all the time in the world to finish the house but we are excited to fix it up and it’s fun to see it looking better with a coat of paint!   This week we began pricing out and brainstorming ideas for the counter top.  I cannot wait to make that look better.  Right now it is 1x1 inch tiles with lots of yucky grout in between and it grosses me out!  Josh painted the front door and shutters and those look good!  Josh is also working on the wallpaper removal in the kitchen which is impossibly hard to get off the wall.  Even all my mom’s tips/tricks to get it off didn’t work!  This week I am working on the hallway.  I do the trim and then the edging and then the paint rolling.  Although it’s a lot of work, it is fun because it is ours J 

We also got a dog!  One of Josh’s students needed to get rid of a dog because of a move and we inherited him.  He is wonderful!  He’s an American Bulldog and the cutest and sweetest dog ever.  It seems so silly but this dog has brought so much joy to our lives!  He is so goofy, cuddly and wrinkly. We love him!  God just keeps blessing us.  Life is very fun right now!
