(no subject)
Wow, the last time I updated was two weeks before the wedding. Since then, I've gotten married (obviously), went to Santa Fe for our honeymoon, went to Chicago for our second reception, bought a house, moved, went to help my sister move from KC to Michigan, stopped back through Chicago for a few days, then came home for a week and went back to Chicago for a week when Dave's grandpa passed away. Since returning home from that last little leg of the trips, I've been heavily involved in helping a friend with her wedding which is this Saturday (I'll be so glad when it's over with - the bride is completely disorganized) and trying to unpack my house.
It's been an interesting summer. It will probably be the closest I've come to taking a summer off and travelling like I always wanted to in college. So I guess I finally did it. :) Granted it was in spurts, but since the end of June, I really haven't been here much at all.
We're getting ready to paint our bedroom. The walls will be sage green and our bedset is dark red, sage, and khaki. It will look phenominal when we get it done! I'm hoping that maybe we could start on it on Sunday. At the very least I'd like to get everything out of the room and get it taped to start painting.
I can't believe we bought a house. I love having a home, and it's so much better than living in an apartment. We've got space and we can decorate how we want to and we can have people over without stepping on top of each other all the time. It's so nice! It's a 3 bedroom 2 bath house with an added office room. The backyard is nice sized and we're hoping to add a garage onto the back at some point in the future. Our neighbors on both sides are people our age which is nice. There are older people on our street, but the immediate neighbors are young with families.
I just found out one of my friends is having a baby. She's so excited and so am I. She miscarried the week before my wedding, so I really hope this one goes very well for her.
So we're back at home for a while, and maybe now we can get back on schedule, although it's been so long since I've had a schedule, I don't know if I'd know what to do with one these days.
