The progress on our house is really moving along now. We now have painted walls, a driveway, cabinets, and some lighting fixtures. It is looking even more like a house and we can't wait until closing day!!!!!
Our apartment is getting more and more cramped as our dog gets bigger and we continue to make shopping trips to IKEA for the house. We purchased a new dining room set and patio set that is currently boxed up in our living room, along with tons of other random things we have been collecting for the house. We are also in the market for our first real bedroom set as a married couple. We are sad to say that we are still sleeping on a hand me down bed and mattress!
We have made numerous trips to Lowe's to look at paint and backyard necessities. I am so excited to get started making it our own, but I don't think I will ever be able to make a decision on paint colors! If anyone has suggestions please let me know! We are also a little stressed about the backyard. Our front yard will be landscaped for us, but not the backyard and it is currently just dirt. We want to lay some grass, but being in the desert that isn't always easy. We also discovered that rock would be much more expensive than we expected. It is important to get something other than dirt as quickly as possible so Tevez doesn't dig holes and make a mess coming inside covered in dirt. Hopefully we will come up with a solution.
We will keep you posted as the progress continues. We are still looking at a May 23rd closing date and we are counting down the days!
