FOUND!

After what seems like years of searching (really 2 months if I'm being honest) we have found our house! You would think just finding a house to rent would not be that hard but we quickly found it was.

Our new house is super close to Kristin and the boys, Kelly, Josh Lamkin and a couple others - I'm very excited about our new neighbors. It is an all brick house with hardwood floors. 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and an amazing kitchen the house is old but the kitchen is newly renovated and beautiful!! We really wanted 2 bathrooms but if we both want to be in our bathroom now (at the same time) one of us has to stand in the shower. So at this point 1 big bathroom would be awesome.

We move in the same weekend of my first wedding shower - sorry Josh! I have been looking at home related blogs trying to get ideas of how to decorate on the cheap; we definitely plan to stay there for a while. The owner is being very cool about letting us paint and do pretty much whatever else we want.

I stumbled across this blog, http://www.younghouselove.com/. I basically want this couples life. They blog and makeover things (rooms, houses, yards, etc.) for a living!

Of course we want to immediately get Bacon (the dog) now that we have a house but have decided it's best to wait until after the wedding. Which is in 86 days!!

Puppies & Houses

So if you know me it's almost certain that you have heard me complain about my (really Josh's apartment). It is so small! Josh was certainly not thinking of me when he decided to move in here - Said the girl who swore she would never live with a boy before she got married. Obviously Kalen and I lived in pretty tight quarters as well but didn't sleep together nightly so we had our own space. It's funny because I am not at all tired of living with Josh - I love it! I am tired of living with Josh in such a small place.

For 4 days last week almost everyone at the office worked from home. I on the other hand got dressed (by dressed I mean got out of my PJ's) and went into work everyday but one.Mainly because Aline and I decided 'If you go I go'. But also because it is nearly impossible to work from home. There is nowhere for Josh to go and he has to be completely quiet the whole time. I didn't want to have to explain to potential clients why they heard a toilet flushing in the background.

Also our bathroom is from the early 70's. It has mauve and pink tiles and a pink toilet. That has nothing to do with working from home but needed to be said.

The lease is up in May and I'm getting so excited about moving into a house (to rent). We will actually be able to have space - maybe even an office or a spare bedroom. We can have room to decorate and actually make the space our own. And have a bedroom big enough for the much needed and anticipated California King Bed :) And a yard and a yard means a PUPPY - hooray!!! We have wanted one for so long and of course already have a name picked out.

I have become obsessed with what random house throughout Atlanta must look like inside. We have already mostly decided though that we will move somewhere near Kristin. My oldest sister who is one of my favorite people in the world and she also happens to be the mother of two of my favorite boys.

I am getting so antsy in pantsy to move and get a puppy - can't wait!!



Also new thing to add to the to do list from the list post:

3. Write Kristin's Matron of Honor speech - so she will forgive me for not telling her about this blog.
