Merry Christmas to Us!

Instead of buying gifts for eachother this year, Nate and I decided to buy a new couch.  We were not very
wise when we bought our first couch, which was a off-white color.  Having Tucker with an off-white couch, finger prints and snot got smeared everywhere!  Keeping up with the cleaning was awful!  So we went and visited every furniture store we knew of in the Columbus area and decided on this one.  Nate especially loves the chaise lounge.
With some of our Christmas money, we also bought a new rug, which I LOVE to go with the new couch.

Home Improvements

Thank you USC.  It just so happened that we were going to be out of town for the USC vs. Ohio State game.  It just so happened that at the time USC and Ohio State were both extremely highly ranked.  And it just so happened that these football tickets were going for lots of $$.  So with the assistance of Craigslist, we took advantage and sold these tickets.  With the money we made on this game, we were able to do some projects around the house we've been meaning to get to for a while.  Here are a few of our changes....

Our 2 bathroom upstair had the grossest flooring, I couldn't stand it anymore!

So we got some fairly inexpensive flooring that changed the look of the bathrooms completely.  I love the color!

Next on the list was our disgusting ceiling fan that looked like it was decades old.

And switched it out for one a little more modern

Continuing on with the lighting, we switched out all the hallway lights to something a little more modern as well

To these

All the bathrooms had these hideous lights and the mirrors that were just slapped up on the wall, it all had to go


And lastly, for now anyway, we thought our bathroom needed a total change.  We painted (it was a light gray color before this), put in the lights, the mirror, the floor, a new curved shower rod, and changed up the decor a little bit as well.


That's it for a little while.  I have so many other projects on my list, many of which are painting!  I will post our projects as we finish them.  Thank you to my fabulous husband who has been so wonderful to take time from his school work to put a smile on my face....you are the best!

We Bought Our First Home!

Yes, it's been a day and a half and we have put an offer on a house, and it was accepted! We are going to live in Hilliard, Ohio in a cute neighborhood that has quite a few LDS families with little kids for Tucker to play with. So needless to say, we are very excited! One less thing to worry about, now I just need a job to pay for it all....I've started applying this weekend, so hopefully it'll happen soon. Here are some pictures of our new place..there are quite a few, our parents wanted to see all the pics, so sorry so many! For some reason, there are no pictures of Tucker's room or the 2 1/2 bathrooms, I'll have to get pics of those later!
