House Update

Our house has definitley come a long way these last couple of months. I think the pictures really say it all!

This is the master bedroom. With our master tub in the middle of the room. It's not like this anymore, but I don't have an updated picture right now. I love the color of this room and all of the natural light.

 This is the kitchen (duh). First, the flooring is awesome. I'm so glad that we decided to go with a lighter color flooring than we had before. Also, the accent red color under the cabinets give the room a little punch and I feel like it makes the cabinets and counter top look richer.

The living room....we had cabinets made and installed for either side of the fireplace. LOVE. The storage is killer and it completely sets off our living room. We still need to get the stone put onto the fireplace and purchase a television to hang above it.

The rest of the living room. I think the wall color in here is exceptional. All of the light is great too. I'm so glad that I was able to talk my husband into two French doors instead of one.

The dining area. Our house in really open. You can get a pretty good idea from the picture above how things lay out. Our kitchen is to the right in the picture. Any way, back to the dining area. I love love love our new dining set. I'd been eyeing it since last April and finally purchased it in December. I think it looks great with everything else! And the light fixture in here is also a favorite.

Master bathroom. This area actually consists of two separate rooms. The first is the one you see here, with a double vanity and large soaking tub.

And here's our master shower, which is in the second room. I love the way all of the tile turned out. Also note the super cool shower floor!

The huge window in our stairway. Really opens this area up and makes it light and bright.

So there you have it! I'm so glad to have flooring and toilets and showers and such. I'll do another update soon with pictures of how things look now. There have been a few more changes and things seem more put together!

Playing Catch Up...

Where, oh where to begin? I guess I'll just start with an in general "what's been going on the last two months".....

• We moved back into our home on January 7th. And it is sooooooo nice to be home again. While we're ever grateful to those that let us barge in our their lives and homes for eight months, it definitely took it's toll. The house isn't finished, but it's at least livable. A post on the house coming soon!
• On January 4th, I worked my last day at Roudybush. After being employed there for 8+ years, it was bittersweet. I've adjusted to not having a job for the first time since age 16 quite nicely!!
• I am still on the wait list for nursing school and will start the program this August. In the meantime, I'm taking two classes this semester to stay in the groove of school and take up a little spare time since I'm not working.
• We had a nice holiday season. Family, friends and food pretty much sum it up!
• Matt's stepsister, Alex, is getting married May 19th and I'm a bridesmaid. I'm looking forward to her shower, bachelorette party, and of course, the wedding!
• I'm back on the Weight Watcher's train. Over the course of living out of boxes, I gained about 8 pounds. I'd like to get that back off, plus about 10 or so more.

That's the scoop!!!

Well Hello There!

It's been two months and two days since my last post. Not that anyone cares, but ya know, that's kind of a long time. So, why the absence? I really don't know. Basically, it comes down to the fact that we scrambled the last week of December and into January to make our house livable. An update on the old house coming soon. Also, my last day at work was January fourth, and as awful as it sounds that's where I did a lot of blogging because I was in front of a computer all day long. I'll try to be better as I adjust to my new life that does not involve 8 hours at a desk daily. Have a great day and stay tuned for some much more interesting posts : )
