Moving Update

Hey Guys!
So it's day 3 of us in the new house!!! We are slowly (very slowly) making some progress. The only room that's all decorated and completed (besides a much needed paint job) is our bathroom. All the decor is brown and black and it looks fierce! We have all of our stuff put away in our kitchen but we still need to decorate it.
The day of our move, we had arranged for our couches to be delivered and unfortunately they were so monstrously big that they didn't fit down the stairs. Needless to say, I was in a really pissy mood for the rest of the day but everything happens for a reason, and now we have way better couches on their way tomorrow!  Let's just say I'm extremely excited not to sit on a futon (or have a futon in our livingroom anymore). It's better than sleeping on it though which we've been doing for the past couple of nights because we had no bedding and had yet to set up our bed frame! But that's done now too so we have a bedroom and it looks awesome! We still need end tables and decor (and that's all that will fit cuz it's mini) but I'm really, really happy.
As much as sometimes it's sort of sad that I'm not living at home anymore (I really miss my family and dogs), they're just a phone call away (and a very short drive) so it's not so bad. Plus, I'm living with John now and the privacy is amazing and we're having so much fun. Once we're all settled we're going to have our families over for a barbecue and it's going to be a really nice change.
Anyway, I gotta go because John keeps talking to me from the kitchen and then I keep forgetting what I'm wanting to write down. Plus he's making an amazing steak dinner so I best go help! Plus I'm still in my robe from my shower so I should probably get dressed. I'm allowed to do that now. No judgement.

The Basics

I've decided this summer sucks.
LAST summer was amazing with so much time outside and having barbecues, but no not this summer! This summer I am working, working, working. But I guess that's the price you pay when you quit your full time job to work shift work in preperation for going back to school. So I guess for now I just have to suck it up!

But here's a little update on my life:

Yesterday, my Mom and I went shopping for some of the basics me and John will need for the new house! I picked up things like mixing bowls, casserole dishes, spatulas, toilet bowl brushes and more! And I got everything on sale from Canadian Tire. That place may just be my new fave! Who knew all the great deals they would have there? I was getting things for 60-70% off! So happy!

We just need things like bowls, plates, silverware and a coffee machine now!

A little less than a few short weeks and we are flyin' solo! So excited.

The Next Step: Me & John

These pics are taken from a couple weeks back.. I felt I need to say that considering my city is going through a flood right now so the weather is definitely not this nice. Puttin' Thunder Bay back on that map! Anyone? Anyone? lol

Anyway, I mentioned a while ago about an exciting opportunity for me & John I couldn't talk about it at the time because it wasn't official. Well, folks! It is now!

August 1st, John and I are FINALLY moving in together!!!

Woohoo!!! I'm seriously so excited and I can't wait to embark on this new journey together!!!!! We practically live together now but in the most annoying, inconvenient way possible.

As much as I love my family, I'm excited to be able to come home from a long day and just be able to relax on my living room couch while having a glass of wine and making dinner whenever I feel like it without getting in anyone's way. I also have two younger sisters, so my house right now is SUPER loud.. It'll be nice to not have to listen to that all the time and just be able to enjoy peace and serenity! When I do crave the noise, I'll just go to my Dad's or Mom's house to visit or invite the kids over for the day and it'll balance out!

And with our very own home, do you know what means?

LOTS and LOTS (and I mean, lots!) of new recipes and home decor photos!!!!

I'm so excited to share it with all ya'll! :)
