House Update

So we finally feel like it's all coming together! As of today 95% of the painting will be done! Good-bye to 'flat white' walls forever. We also got some problem solvers for the messes we haven't got organized yet, such as book shelves, filing cabinets and more.

Eric and I went on a date last night! It has been such a long time since the 2 of us have been able to be alone and enjoy each others company. It was great. We went to IKEA and spent 3 hours and packed the car. Then we strolled the mall looking for the perfect shoe for a man on his feet all day. And we found them!
(check it out---> ecco) They have 5***** ratings everywhere we have checked. So if your in the market....
Then we ended up at The Cheese Cake Factory and it was deeeee-licious! So nice to have an evening out.

Our shutters our coming next week so we will no longer will be living in a fish bowl. Our neighbors are probably more excited than us about that. A man came to the door the other day selling blinds, since he could see that we didn't have any. I answered the door and he said "Are your parents home?" I was thinking nice selling tactic. - - Then said "no, this is my house." He was quite embarrassed and even more flustered when Jack ran up to me yelling "Mommy!" I didn't think I looked that young. anyway. He just handed me the flyer and left. My parents did happen to be here at the time thought that was so funny.

Once we get a little more organized I will post some pics!

HaHa! I loved that story! You look young, but not THAT young! good grief! It must have been the same guy that walked up to my friend in the mall yesterday (she's 3 weeks from due) and asked her if she was having twins or triplets. (sigh) I'm so excited to see pictures of your house!!!
