Will we ever get a free night with no house work??

Hi everybody! This is my first time on our new site so I'm not so sure how it works yet but I'll get it figured out. So here's a run down of the events since our office furniture was delivered and mostly put together. Last night (Wed.) Jeff and I went to the Wizards baseball game with his parents and sis cuz we got free tickets, and that was fun. The Wizards are a Single A team that aren't really very good but it's pretty much the best we got here so who cares. haha. The game ended up running long because, for one thing, it was tied for a couple innings and also the umpire got hit in the head with a swinging bat so the game was delayed. So we were there from 7 to 11:15pm. Fun stuff. We pretty much went right to bed after that because we've been pretty pooped from late nights and early mornings.

I started working with Jeff's mom at the warehouse for a local store here called Rustic Hutch. I can pretty much set my own hours which is good because I am always running here and there or have to be home for when furniture gets delivered, so its a pretty flexible job. Once things settle down a bit more and I actually get a day where I can sit at the computer and look for jobs without a million other things running thru my head I will start looking for a "real job". So anyhow, I'll at least have some sort of income for awhile.

Tonight Jeff and I are continuing the assembling of the last piece of our new office furniture (for now). We are still waiting on the last 2 to arrive from backorder. It's looking awesome though! I can't believe how hard it is to put a new house together (Well, new for us...the house is 5 years old). We have been working non-stop so far since we moved in on Monday the 16th of July. I must say I have had a fun time shopping for all of our new stuff!!! Let's see here, to give you an idea of what we have purchased, let me just give you a short list....patio furniture, blinds, lighting fixtures for the whole house including ceiling fans, closet shelving, stones for out by the patio, flowers, couch, recliner, dining table, office furniture, slipcover, lamps, new cabinet hardware, mirror, coat rack AND all the stuff I still wanted from my registries!! We still need an entertainment center, coffee table, dining chairs, and an entry way table. Those are the main remaining missing pieces. :) Anywho, enough boring stuff.

I'm gonna be posting pictures soon of the house and its progress. We are very proud of what we have and what we are turning the house into and hope that you guys enjoy watching the renovations! I guess its back to work for now....

I'm sure you're house is coming along beautifully. I can't wait for Andy and I to come visit again and see all the progress!

This BLOG is a great idea. I went to AAA yesterday and got a map so I can spot you on my new Ft. Wayne map. Better send me some directions though. I know how it is to get settled into a home, as you know. I've moved about 30 times in my lifetime. No kidding! I'd love to have you tell us about your honeymoon - where you went etc. Love Granny
