Yahoo! Chase and I finally closed on our house last week. We made the offer in July and we’ve been jumping through bank hoops since then, but we got the keys on Friday and it’s finally ours!!
Here is a mini tour of our soon to be home. Most of these were taken while we were looking at it with our Buyer’s Agent.. He kindly requested to not be in any of them, so I had to snap them quickly while he wasn’t in the way. : )
If you can believe it.. this is the best picture I have of the outside of the house. I know, it stresses me out too… I keep moving my head to the left to see what else there is. Sorry, I’ll take more soon!
Kitchen/dining room.
Here is the view of the dining room from the kitchen. I’m excited to try out the gas stove!
This is the best picture that I have of this room. (Hi, Tyler!) Right now it’s a bedroom and it’s off of the dining room area. (The top corner in the picture above) We’re hoping to knock out the wall between these two rooms and create a living room/dining room. But it appears that that wall is load bearing, so we’re still thinking about how to achieve that. For now it’s called the French Doors Room. : )
Here is the colorful closet that belongs to the french door room. I only took a picture of it because it’s a really big closet. It’s also very colorful. : )
Here is the bathroom. I’m pretty happy with how it looks, and I really like the white tiling on the counter and around the shower.
This is, what we call, the red room… it’s a small bedroom off of the bathroom. Don’t worry.. I’ve already primed it. Now I just need to decide what color to paint it…
Here is the back room. I think this was meant to be a rec room/living room.. but we’re thinking about turning it into the master bedroom since it’s kind of out of the way from the rest of the living spaces in the house. But we’ll see!
So that’s our house! Pretty much all of the work we have to do is cosmetic, so we’ll probably be spending most of our weekends painting and replacing flooring and all of that fun stuff. : ) I was hoping that we could move in by Thanksgiving, but we’ll probably won’t end up moving until that Friday or Saturday.
But yeah… it feels pretty good to be a homeowner. : )
…I have realized how many times a day I say “I.” I’m okay with saying it here because this is my tiny corner of the world. (It’s all mine, ya know.) But everywhere else? I need to get over myself.
…I’ve enjoyed using this mascara. You should too because it’s that amazing.
…I have been in love with coffee. Before I just enjoyed coffee because I liked going to get a Starbucks. Now I’m a snobby coffee addict. A latte a day for me please. Thank you.
…I’ve decided that I just don’t know what I’m talking about. Ever. I can’t even say that I don’t know what I’m talking about most of the time because that would be an understatement. Oh well.
…my favorite color has been yellow. And grey. And the combination of the two.
…I’ve really enjoyed school. I’m not one of those people who is sick of school and can’t wait to be done. This could, and probably will, change. But not yet.
…I’ve discovered how to use wikipedia and thesaurus.com. Well I guess I already knew how to use them, but now I know how to use them to make myself look smart. I love looking smart.
…I have listened to this song too many times.
…I’ve realized how blessed I am to have such a great husband. He’s sweet. He’s selfless. He’s really handsome. He’s funy. And I’m just an oddball.
That’s all.
Since we bought our coffee machine a few months ago I don’t go to Starbucks very often. I do love coffee that I make myself… but Starbucks doesn’t sell their white mocha syrup and that so happens to be my favorite drink. A friend brought Chase and I coffee to work today… yum! it’s a treat anytime I get a real Starbucks. : )
Tyler always calls me “candy girl.” Mostly because that’s what he’s decided is my character in one of the tv shows he watches… but it really is a good nickname for me.
I love sweets. I love candy. I love pretty much anything made with large amounts of sugar. So I love days devoted to eating massive amounts of sweets. I forgot how delicious candy can be… yum.
I’ve been really excited to share my Photoshop assignments on here. I was doing really well in my class and was proud of the creativity I was showing through my assignments. I just wanted to wait until there was a little bit more to show you before I posted a link to my site. Then something horrible happened… I call it week three.
I was really excited for this assignment, we were supposed to take a few pictures and put them together in a collage, all relating to one theme. I knew exactly what I was going to choose… coffee!
Well there are 3 people in my class who post their assignments a week ahead… and I’m sitting here thinking how in the world they had enough time to do everything that quickly. They probably just have this one class or something… who likes to be that early? Well I guess I do.. but I’m too busy studying macroeconomics and market systems to enjoy my fun classes. Anyway… one of these 3 people posted their poster an entire week in advance in the SAME theme I was thinking! I was frustrated because I hate to look like I’m copying people. So I put off this assignment until the evening it was due. Honestly I didn’t even think of a theme and I just found random pictures to put in a collage together that made no sense at all.
So after that I’ve been embarrassed to show you what I’ve done in this class because of this silly assignment …but now I just think it’s funny. : )
So… now that I’ve rambled about nothing… you can go look at my lazyness in this class. I wouldn’t mind if you looked at the other weeks, too. : )
