So it's been like 9-10 months since I posted. I check in on LJ every day but usually on my phone so I don't feel like writing posts on there. Let's see, what's happened in the last year... J turned 4 (had a crazy bday party at a gymnastics place with most of his preschool class), trip to the Fargo area in February (yes, February - and we DROVE there) and managed to miss blizzards both ways, and then this happened:
This is our new house :) We closed in late June and move this Friday. It's been a crazy month of work around there getting it ready. The upstairs was painted peach, like the whole upstairs! Even the freaking ceiling in the kitchen was peach! There was peach carpet in the living room/dining room/hallway and pink carpet in the master bedroom. All that came out and we found beautiful 60s hardwood floors underneath. Those have been refinished. We've completely repainted the upstairs. We put in new vinyl in the entryway and the hall in the basement. And carpet in the basement family room. We also added cabinets and counter to the kitchen because it needed it. I'll have to post before/after pics. This place also has a huge yard, so I'm really looking forward to putting in some garden beds next year.
