We have been very busy lately, thus the long time between posts. Jared and I bought and moved into our first home at the end of June. It's a 3bedroom house in south St. Louis city. We have a nice fenced yard, 2 car garage, and a mostly finished basement with a studio for Jared. Although the house was already painted nicely, we changed the colors and in the process painted nearly every room. Now that we've been here a couple weeks, it's starting to feel like home! Rosco's getting used to the hardwood floors (at first she wouldn't walk on them) and even goes up and down the steps (wouldn't do those for awhile either). The neighborhood is nice - very quiet with a great location close to all that South Grand and South city has to offer. Another plus is that I've cut my drive to work in half and can completely avoid the dreaded 270 North traffic. Hallejuah!
The baby's room is coming along. Previously, the room was Sesame Street crazy with neon yellow walls, a sesame street border, "Elmo's World" painted in neon pink, and even an obnoxious sesame street fan! It took us awhile to get all the wallpaper decals and stickers off the walls along with at least one coat of primer before painting! The sesame street border came off relatively easy, but in the process, we discovered that was covering another border (purple and pink flowers). The hidden border was not so easy to get off since the previous owners had painted over it! So, we got as much as we could off, but will have to put our own border up to cover the previous ones. Oh well, it will just add to the decor of the room. Here's the theme:
Once we put up the border, put the furniture together, and add some finishing touches, we'll add a picture of the actual room.
The way our families have helped us out with the move and preparing for baby have made us truly grateful. We feel truly blessed to have such great family!!!
