Our house in progress
Our house is coming along! We have finished painting, excluding touch-ups, and the place is really starting to look great.
Here are some pictures of what will be our bedroom. We are going to be putting up chair rail around the middle of the room.
Here's a picture of the kitchen. I love the blue and off-white contrast.
The living room is done now, and I'll get some pictures of those colors up soon.
I've moved to our new house for August and September, and I'm finally starting to feel okay sleeping alone there. The first week, at times, the air conditioner would sound like someone opening the bedroom door. I would wake up with a jump, only to realize that nobody was there:-)
Joseph came over on Saturday and kept me company while I painted...that was nice. Then we went grocery shopping.
Last night I cooked my first meal in my little kitchen with the frying pan and the radio to keep me company, hehe. It was fun, though, and the whole house smelled yummy.
Oh, and Friday night Peter and I went on a for real date! That was fun:-) We haven't gone out as a couple for a bit. It was nice to have dinner together and talk to, be with, and focus on each other. My sister, Jeanette, told me that it is important, especially when planning a wedding and all that we are doing right now, to take time to just be a couple. I'm glad we did.
Little Lucy's is still as cute as ever! She had a shower on Saturday and got lots of really cute clothes. I really like this pic of Joanna and Lucy, so I'll close out this post with it:-)

Seeing these pictures remind me of when Chris and I started painting our house before we got married...and yeah, it sure did take a while for me to get used to living in it all by myself for the couple months before we got married! The months we were engaged seemed drag by oh so slowly!

It's so nice of you to share house progress and such with the Midwest! Preparing a home together is such a special time, and how fun for you to have Joseph close enough to drop in. That picture of Joanna and Lucy is one of my favorites.
