We're in!

We started moving into our house August 23rd.  Exactly two weeks ago!  It almost seems unreal.  The first entire day was painting... painting... and more painting.  We got most of it done that day and finished it off Friday late afternoon.  I love it more and more each day.  We have two living areas; the first one is rarely used, but also the first room you enter as you walk into the house.  I wanted a refreshing/happy color on most of the walls - we went with a turqousiey/blue.  I love it.  We have a backsplash in our kitchen, so we put off painting it, and the family room is directly connected to the kitchen.  I wanted warm/comfy colors, so we chose a burnt/fall orange.  I love it as well.  New carpet went in that Friday as well.  Our basement still needs new carpet, and we have yet to make time to pick out any.  The previous owners destroyed it.

Kids' rooms are fun.  Alyvia especially loves hers.  Mase's is a firetruck theme... DUH!

We've already repaired a leak, and replaced the sump pump (which we knew needed done).  My in-laws have helped tremendously through this whole, on-going process.  It is exhausting.  All we have left is miscellaneous things to put away, and I'm also having a garage sale this Saturday.

I will post before/after photos as soon as I get the chance!
