On Febuary 27th we closed escrow. It took us longer than we had expected but now looking back it was for the best. Funny how that happens. We moved into the neighborhood we wanted and into the ward we wanted. We really love this little neighborhood of ours.
All of our neighbors are younger couples, which I love. We live about a block away from an elementary school and in the afternoon the neighborhood is lively and full of little kids. We live down the street from a park and you can see all the kids playing baseball and soccer, I love it. You see everyone walking their dogs in the afternoon too, which is pretty great. We also live about 5 minutes from the dog park. I'm telling you, when it's meant to be, it's meant to be.
There's so many projects that I would love to do. Some day this kitchen will get a little loving and actually get painted. If I can ever get around to it :) Oh and every single window in the house has shutters. I didn't really know much about shutters. Now all I know is that I'm in love with them.
I still haven't gotten around to painting any of the house. I am thankful that the previous owners left it white though. It's easier to live with than pink or neon green walls. Mike put in that new fan. They have palm tree fans through out the house. Those are going to slowly be replaced. I love the new fan though, looks much better.
This is as far as I got with arranging furniture. This is the only room that has gotten painted. It's a light grey, I was really nervous about it but I loved the way it came out.
One day this room will have wood floors, one day
One day we will buy a couch for this room too, and the chimney will also get some loving.
I love this space. It's perfect for all of my books and for doing home work.
Down stairs bathroom
I would really love a white bathroom for the guest bathroom, I found some great diy's on Pinterest. Pinterest is gonna be the death of mike, hehe
This is what you walk to when you come in through the garage, I think a mud room would be awesome here.
This is one of the downstairs rooms. I have no idea what this room will be. Mike says the gym, it's a nothing room right now.
This is our bed room. It's such a nice upgrade from our last room.
I still have to figure out what color I want our bedroom to be. If you've ever watched the show "Blackish" I would love my house to look exactly like that.
Nice closet space. The previous owners took out all of the shelving with them so we still have to build some more shelves in here.
Nice bathtub that we have yet to use.
Our bathroom. Even though we have two sinks, sometimes I find us both huddled around the same sink. I guess we still have to get used to the space
This is the room right next to ours, I'm thinking nursery some day. For now it just sits empty.
Stairs. I'm finally done painting this wall but I have yet to put any pictures up.
This is the upstairs guest room.
I love that I can have one girly room in the house.
I'm thinking this room would look nice with a light grey color.
Upstairs bathroom.
This room we call the game room. It's so big, it would be fun to put a projector here one day.
This room will be fun to paint.
Upstairs hall.
Upstairs hall.
There's so many projects to be done. I'm thankful that the house was move in ready because life has been a little busy. I thought that because I was done with school things would slow down but it sure doesn't seem that way. I started the BSN program already and took on 2 classes and the 3rd one starts in a couple of weeks. I'm trying to study for my boards on top of that. I should be studying 3-6 hours a day. I also have a job interview coming up and have been trying to practice questions. Oh and did I mention my back yard desperately needs to be weeded. Life just seems to keep going. I'm excited for this next little chapter in our lives. I feel like I'm at the top of a roller coaster again and don't know what's ahead. It's a little scary, but I'm excited for the future.
