Cory and I are homeowners now. We found a home not too far from out apartment. But it is just outside of our ward boundaries. It is a 3 bedroom 1 bath with a great front and back yard. We actually closed on the house the beginning of November, but we have been working on the house before we move in. Our lease isn't up on our apartment until the end of January so since we don't have to rush and move we can actually make the house look the way we would like. Which means, Ang hates the colors of the walls and decided it would be a GREAT idea to paint pretty much the whole house. (That last sentence is to be read with much sarcasm...) Cory has spent a lot of time scrapping off the popcorn ceiling and re-texture the ceiling and the walls. We are now onto actually painting the rooms. Ironically the paint color we chose for the ceiling is called "popped corn"... Weird huh? But now I'm realizing what A LOT of work that it is to get it all painted.
We could probably get it done quicker if it was easier to get babysitters for Jovin. We have great friends that have been taking him a lot and one of our friends daughter has been making quite a bundle of Christmas money off us on the weekends to tend Jovin. During the week though we have to take turns as to who goes and works on the house. Cory and Jovin recently have gotten sick which has slowed the process of things down a little too. Luckily I haven't gotten sick, and I hope it stays that way.
Next week we hope to actually start moving stuff over and be in the house before Christmas.
Once it is all done we'll post some before and after pictures. I'm hoping some of you will justify for me that it was a good idea to paint the rooms different colors. Anyway that is the latest and greatest with what is happening in our little world.

It looks great. I can't wait to see more.
That's exciting!! We're so happy for you, and Mike understands Cory's pain of scrapping popcorn ceiling off and replacing it. Good luck and enjoy the process.
Congrats! And guess what? You are NEVER through wanting to paint and do stuff with your house....it's just how life is.If I can't sleep I mentally re-do all th rooms in my house. (And now because I CAN'T paint unti Brent is totally better) I am freaking out with the desire to paint everything.
We're happy for you & hope you have a Happy Holiday in warm & sunny AZ. (You are going to miss that community pool!)
