More Visitors

As I mentioned in my last post, my sister arrives tomorrow for a week long visit. And at the end of April, our friends Bob and Jeanne will be in AZ. We just found out today that friends from Seattle will be coming down to visit the second weekend in April. And, Glenn's cousin will be in town the third weekend in April. Lots of visitors - fun! So,when are you all coming to visit?!!!

It's all Done!!

The painting is all done! Wow, professional painters work fast. It's a bunch of money but for a huge space that needs to be painted, it is worth it. I also suck at painting so when we have painted in the past, poor Glenn gets stuck with most of it. I usually start out helping but then he says he will finish it.
So, today the master bedroom was finished and I was afraid to look at our dark brown accent wall but I walked in and it looks great! I can't wait to put the room back together. So, come visit me and I'll show you!!
Speaking of visitors, my sister arrives on Friday with her fiance who I have not yet met. We are looking forward to them visiting and hanging out with them. And then a few weeks later, our friends Jeanne and Bob will be in AZ to visit family and we get to hang out with them while they are here too. Can't wait!!

Color!

We are having the interior of the house painted finally! It has been a very boring white since we moved in. The painter started today and got quite a bit done. It took us so long to choose a color and even the one we finally chose I was afraid I wouldn't like once it was all over the walls. It is now throughout a large portion of our house and..... I love it! It's so nice and feels so much more finished than it did before. The color is called Chaparral and it's like a khakish yellowish color. I like it a lot and can't wait until he is finished. Most of the house will be that color. The Master bedroom will be that with a dark brown accent wall. The powder room will be a color called Pumpkin Pie. Oh yeah baby, it's going to be nice!

Update on "Stuff"

We FINALLY have our front yard landscaped-YAY! Yep, after 6 months in our house and a front yard of just dirt, it is finally is landscaped which in Arizona means rocks, boulders and plants. No grass allowed per the HOA. I would take a picture to show you but our digital camera is broken.
I was all excited a week or two ago because we decided on a paint color and lined up a painter to paint the interior of our house. It's all builders white right now, very boring and I am anxious to get it done. However, we've been stalled trying to get our color matched in the paint brand that our painter and everyone we've talked to seems to recommend. I never dreamed it would be this hard to match a paint color. We're trying a couple other colors this weekend. Hopefully we will have some success!
We bought new chairs for our kitchen counter area. I was excited to get them and now I can't decide if I like them or not. The chairs themselves are very nice but not sure they go in the house. I'm a bit challenged when it comes to decorating so I'm not sure but they are very dark wood (they almost look black). Not sure. I would post a picture but our digital camera is broken.
A couple weeks ago, we were shopping and found this really pretty decorative huge copper plate. We bought it and put it up on top of our kitchen cabinets and I love it! We decided that plates will be the theme up there. I found another one that is a glass plate with gold and red colors. Love it too! I'd take a picture for you but our digital camera is broken.
Several people have asked if we've been swimming and the answer is no, not yet. It has been 80 degrees all week so we will probably get it heated up and then start using it soon. We have been in the hot tub a few times in the last week. Ahhhh so refreshing. I know I owe you a picture of the pool as well. I haven't posted one since it was finished. I would post one now but our digital camera is broken.
And lastly, guess what? Our darn digital camera is broken. Can you believe it?!!
