We're on the move...

Chris and I FINALLY did it, we bought a house!! After three years of searching off and on we have finally found a house we can call a home. :-) It is located in Centennial, close to Buckley and Smoky Hill Rd. We closed this last Friday August 22nd and despite not having water yet (but we had electricity) we decided to take a bottle of champagne and an air mattress over to the house and sleep in it for the first night it was ours. We were so exhausted yet we couldn't sleep, we had so many ideas and thoughts on what we needed to do before completely moving in at the end of the month that it took us a while to fall asleep. This weekend was busy but since we didn't have water we couldn't really clean the carpets or anything but we did tear down some tacky wall paper that was in the dining room and the front sitting room. We will now apply new texture to the walls (since the wall paper pulled most of it off) and than paint. I will post pictures as we go of our progress so you can see the transformation. Hopefully it will turn out nice and we won't have to start all over. ;-)

We are so excited and can't wait to have everyone over for a BBQ. Here are some pictures of the house in case you haven't seen them yet.

Our biggest project right now besides ripping down wall paper and cleaning carpets is be the master bathroom. It is completely unfinished but the only part left is the fun stuff like picking out tile for the floor, cabinets with sinks, toilet, and fixtures. :-) Here are some pictures of what the master bathroom looks like now and I will post updates as we complete it.
