life lately.

hey lovies!

i haven't meant to be so absent in the blog world lately... we have just been soooo busy {and slightly overwhelmed} with getting everything ready for the big move.

our house is a wreck. there are boxes, bubble wrap, tape and sharpies everywhere... and i haven't even organized/put up my christmas stuff yet. i cannot believe we are closing on our house THIS friday!

because i hadn't mentioned it- my birthday went really well last week. my sweet hubs surprised me by making me an appointment to get a massage and a pedicure after work and then took me a dinner and a movie date... we ate at east west bistro {their salmon is my FAVORITE!} and then we saw this is 40. {we both really liked it}.

since then my parents, my in-laws, my best friend and greg's best friend have all come to town to see the house... i am loving showing it off to the special people in our lives and i cannot wait to move all of our stuff in.

my favorite part has to be the kitchen... 

take note that this is very much a "work in progress picture"... they installed the wrong color outlets (they should be white to match the subway tile}, and wrong color hardware {we went with brushed nickel instead of bronze} and everything is VERY dirty- but i am super excited about cooking in my new kitchen.

the appraisal should be happening today... tomorrow we meet with the superintendent, warranty guy and our realtor to do a walk through of the house and put any touch ups or anything they need to fix on a "punch list" and then friday we will do a final walk through before closing!

i plan on showing more pictures of the house this week and hopefully making a blog comeback this week- i sure have missed you guys!
