Adventures in Being a Homeowner, Part 1
Dec. 2nd, 2014 09:45 pmOn December 1st, 2014...my husband and I became homeowners. Our new home is a block away from our current apartment and is right next door to my good friend and Zumba instructor, Lyndsey.
It's a cute ranch-style home that was built circa 1969. Most of the house has been "modernized," but I can attest from washing out the cupboards today that there's still a splash of the '60's that was left behind. :P
In the last two days, we have:
*Closed on the home
*Bought a new living room set (This will be the first time in our lives that we've had properly new furniture and not something that was given to us by a parent, sibling, or friend.)
*Put a coat of white paint on the walls and ceiling of our "library."
*Washed out the kitchen cabinets.
*Washed down the stove and dishwasher.
*Vacuumed the carpets.
*Used a Rug Doctor to clean the three rooms upstairs.
Tomorrow and Thursday, we will be spending more time painting and Rug Doctoring. Friday, my mom is coming up to help me box up our kitchen and move that over. Saturday is the big furniture moving day and we have a great crew coming up to help us.
In other news, Pizza Hut has a new menu. Today we decided to try the Pretzel Piggy. This is the ingredient breakdown for those interested: Creamy garlic Parmesan sauce topped with hardwood smoked bacon, fresh mushrooms and fresh spinach. Flavored up with a salted pretzel crust edge and balsamic sauce drizzle. I was quite impressed to see that Pizza Hut is branching out and trying different things. I'm eager to try some of their other new flavors.
