The joys of homeownership!

So Future Husband and myself bought a wonderful, beautiful, glorious house together exactly 1 1/2 weeks ago! We closed on Friday morning, and we haven't stopped working on it since! We've had a deadline because this Friday, hardwood floors are going in, so we have to get painting and crap done is certain areas of the house first. Well, being the brilliant person I am (that was dripping with sarcasm by the way), I decided HEY! let's make the dining room gorgeous and I'll spend the weekend putting Venetian Plaster on the walls and it will be OH so dramatic and beautiful! A week and a half later, and I'm still not finished! I really want to shoot myself! Oh sure it's pretty, but my arms, legs, calves, butt, head, fingers, toes, nose, eyes, and hair hurt! Between the putting up the plaster, moving things out of the apartment, unloading Husbands truck, working all day, going to class Tuesday/Thursday nights...(well ok I only go once a week but whatever!) and then priming the neon green room upstairs that will be husbands office, priming the master, painting the ceilings, painting the kitchen and the family room..... I'M EXHAUSTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It will be great though.... except for the fact that Future Husband get's to live there and reap the benefits of all my hard work while I go live back at my parents house for 5 months. Not that my parents are bad or anything, they're incredibly awesome people who have really helped us... it just generally sucks that I don't get to live in my home yet. But hey, it's only for 5 months right?!... yeah... who am I kidding. So that's generally been what's going on! Well that and I gained 3 pounds because when you're doing all this crap, you definitely don't eat healthy! I'm so sick of pizza! I never though I would EVER utter those words, but I did. Pizza is ugh to me right now, I've had pizza everyday for the past week and a half, and it's getting OLD! I now officially want SUSHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring on the soy sauce and fish! Yum-O!

Oh yeah, and at some point in time I have become addicted to The Pioneer Woman's blog. I think I've read everything on there.... and I totally want her cookbook! As soon as I do move into our glorious home, I'm totally going to be one kick-@$$ chef! that's all I have to say!!!!

Below are pictures of our wonderful home!

Happy Hump Day! Stay Strong!
