Picture Overload

Well, the pictures I've promised are finally here. Hopefully you won't get too bored with all of the unfinished rooms. As we paint and get things organized, I'll post the final products. Painting starts this weekend, and we even have a three day weekend to do it! My hopes are to get the kitchen, living room, and our bathroom and bedroom done (and hopefully the ceilings, too, since they're kind of a gray color).

Lola and Ginny... Ignore the dirty cloths on the floor.

My new 25 cubic foot fridge. I think I'm in love.

Inside of the fridge... It's HUGE!!

Inside of the freezer. It's HUGE, too, but we still need a deep freeze.

About to start signing our life away.

Let the signing begin!

First time in OUR home. =)

Kudos to you if you made it all the way through this picture overload!! The posts on final touches should be much more spread apart. It will definitely take us a while to get things exactly how we like them.

Lola and Ginny II

Two posts in one day!? I know, I know... I'm as shocked as y'all are. But as I was reading a comment from Jill I suddenly remembered the most important thing that I forgot on my previous post. So, without further ado, I'll share. When I started to do laundry yesterday, I found out that when you turn on the washer and dryer they both play a little short melody. I was very amused by this, but I was much MORE amused when the cycles finished. Instead of a short tune, they BOTH play about a 15-20 second melody when they're finished washing/drying. Who knew that putting music to a washer and dryer would make laundry much more appealing. Haha.

Between these two posts, I've finished packing the kitchen. Now on to our bedroom/bathroom. =)

It's Ours!

Sorry for the lack of updating. I have been extremely busy lately with my mom and with the start of A&M. I've got to remind myself that this is my final semester! WHOOP! I can't wait to be done. It is very fulfilling to know that in just 4 short months, I will be graduating with my master's degree in early childhood education. I'm very glad that I went ahead and started grad school as soon as I finished undergrad because I know that I wouldn't want to go back at a later time.


As of Thursday, Alan and I are home owners! What should have taken about 30 minutes, though, took us over 2 1/2 hours. Got to love the government changing paperwork and being the guinea pigs with the new info. We sat with the previous owners for about half of the time. We learned a lot about the house (all good, thank goodness) and found out that she is an Aggie. How crazy is that? Apparently, a lot of Aggies live in our subdivision, with at least one of them being on our street. 


My mom has been a huge help this past week. She packed all of our china and crystal, so I didn't have to worry about messing it up. She is also helping clean tomorrow. Speaking of cleaning, I finally got the mop that I had been salivating over eying (does this word look funny, or is it just me?). We got the shark mop euro pro, which looks awesome. I'll be sure and let y'all know once I've actually used it, though.  I've also got some odds and ends for the house already, much to Alan's dismay. I just got so excited that I had to get a couple of things. 


I'll close with a picture of our new fridge, which is coming next Saturday. I've gotta get back to doing homework. Two assignments down, 1 to go.

Lola and Ginny

Well, about a week ago, Alan and I went to Home Depot to order our new washer and dryer. And because he loves me because I begged, he let me pick out these two beauties that I have for some unknown reason decided to name Lola and Ginny. They are the LG SteamWasher and SteamDryer, and I can't wait to take them out for a spin. He even bought me the pedestals to go with them! What a great husband!



On another note, exactly 10 days from now we will be closing on our first house!! We got quite a bit of packing done yesterday, despite the stress of not knowing what to do or where to put the boxes, and I must say that even though there is still a lot to do, we're getting there!
