time for an update

So, we finally moved into our house! Yay! I have spent the ENTIRE weekend (sat-today) moving and unpacking. We have also done quite a few renovations to the ole house. Chris and my father in law re-did the countertops in the kitchen. It used to be ugly brown butcher block laminant (circa de 1982). Now it is a pretty greenish-brown slate ceramic tile. I painted the living room, dining room, and kitchen. And Chris and I painted the cabinets in the kitchen as well. Finally, Chris and his brother took out quite a few bushes in the front yard and added a few green plants. We are certainly not done, but it does look much nicer now! I will post pics soon, I am just tired right now.
A funny story from the weekend... Chris and I were working on the kitchen on Sunday afternoon and we decided we needed to go to Lowe's to buy some more supplies. As we were walking out of the garage, I asked Chris who was driving. He said he was driving, so I neglected to go inside and get my keys. In the car, I asked Chris, 'did you lock the front door?' He says yes, that he locked it from the inside. I ask him, do you have the new house keys....no, of course not! They are sitting on the kitchen counter next to my keys! oh, just use the garage opener you might say...nope! it's locked inside my jeep! ugh! after my trials of jimming the lock with a twisted coat hanger I found in the trash can, we decided to give up and call a locksmith. One hour later, and 89 dollars down the drain...we got into the house!! not funny at the time...but starting to be funnier now!
pictures to come....
