workin for the weekend

well, we had quite the day yesterday. we didn't get to sleep until almost 5:00 in the morning.

but we got a lot done.

let me show you.

we packed up the car to take a few things over and get a jump on moving. (btw, levi has never worked for ups.)

we reveled in the glory of our new home for a bit.

we discovered how badly the hardwood floors need a good scrubbing and searched for an internet connection. alas, there wasn't one. hopefully, it won't take too long to get it hooked up.

we stopped at costco for lunch on the way to home depot.

grabbed a few odds and ends before heading to the paint department to grab samples of our paint choices.

i made one last final plea for yellow.

it worked! levi, you're my favorite person in the whole wide world!! i consider this part of my birthday present.

we painted the samples on the walls...i went a little overboard with my sample.

we decided against the retro avocado. it was too brown/yellow when we got it on the wall. it looked kind of like the contents of a diaper. we went with rolling hills instead, and it is gorgeous. the yellow in our dining "room" is macaw, and we stuck with anonymous and dragon fruit for the bedroom. can i please tell you how much i love paint color names?? they're fantastic. they make the entire experience so much more fun.

i took a couple extra photos of the place to be nice.

this is the kitchen. we have a back door! the top comes opens. isn't it adorable?? levi wants to put a shelf on the bottom half of the door for cooling pies. i guess i'll be making more pies living here! haha!

this is the bedroom and anonymous on the walls.

i put our names on the mailbox! for some reason, this was very exciting for me. this is the front.

this is the inside.

now here's where we got a little crazy. we were so pumped on painting that we decided to go back to home depot after dinner to buy our paint and get started that very evening.

we left at 4:00 in the morning.

the living room probably needs one more coat to make it perfect.

the dining "room" should be done. i am so excited about this little nook. i can't help but smile every time i see it. we want to get a mini glittering chandelier and hang it from the center of the dining room's little ceiling. it's going to be amazing.

levi didn't do all of the painting, but he did do all of the edging. he's much better at it than i am.

so today, we're going to paint the bedroom, touch up everything else, clean, and pack some more. we'll probably be done in time to watch the laker game. woo!
