We have been so busy...

...and so I haven't posted in a couple weeks. We have the main floor pretty much done. :) Yay!! We still need to paint some moldings (but just around the pantry doors), and hang our paintings, but we are so close. Woohoo!! Its so much nicer down there now. Here are some pictures. We are loving it....

We haven't worked on the house at all for the past week and a half because we have both been so busy getting things ready for school. I decorated my school room, which took forever. I have had tons of meetings and then of course I had to find time to plan what I was going to teach my 1st week with my second grade class. It was crazy busy.
Dave had orientation and his white coat ceremony last week. That was fun his family came out for a couple days to attend. It was fun to see them.
This week he started classes. He was been studying and working hard. He has anatomy, molecular and cell biology, embryology and ethics. He also has anatomy lab 3 times a week. This week he and his lab group, there are 5 in his group, started cutting up there 1st cadaver. He really stinks when he gets home, so gross, so I can’t imagine how smelly it is in the lab. Sick... I could never do that! He is handling it well though. He doesn’t enjoy the smell but it hasn’t made him sick. I guess some of the other students have had to step out of the room because the smell was getting to them. Just thinking about it makes me sick!!
I am glad I am the teacher and he’s going to be the doctor. It works out perfectly. :)

Well I hope that everyone at home is doing great! We miss you guys!!

Ok this is getting good...

The house is looking so much better. Everything is still in disarray BUT we are getting close to having a kitchen again.

Dave has been working SO hard all week to get the tile in the kitchen and entry way. Last night he put down the last of it!!! YAY! He has done such a nice job. :) It looks great. I grouted the most of the kitchen last night and then some this morning. So this evening we will be able to put our fridge and stove and everything else back in there. That will be so nice. Not only will we be able to stop going out to eat for basically every meal but we will also have a family room again!! All the kitchen stuff is in there right now.

All the walls are painted, the moldings still need to be finished, but even the moldings (which look like they haven’t been painted since the 80’s) look better with color on the walls.

Anyway enough of my blabbering, here are some pictures…

K the “Bud Family” gave us a great BBQ for our wedding and we couldn’t have it out at our apartment so we are finally getting it put together. THANKS GUYS!! We are so excited to use our BBQ! We finally have the perfect spot for it.

Ok so obviously this is still a work in progress... but all but one wall on the main floor is now a color, not white!! YAY!!! I can't tell you how excited I am to live in a house 1st of all, but a house with painted walls! I am not a white wall kind of girl. :)

We started painting on Friday. The accent wall in the kitchen is red the rest is tan. We will paint the accent wall in the family room a chocolate brown color tomorrow. Then all we will have is the floor molding to paint in the main area.

Hopefully this week after the paint is done we will get the new carpet and tile put in. We found some great looking tile at a store called Menards. It is going to look really good in a week or two. :)

Lol!! Dave is napping right now. He is beat. We have stayed up super late every night since we got here. And I can't sleep in so we have gotten up early too. AND we have worked hard pretty much every minute we have been awake. We are pooped.

Its worth it though. This place is starting to look good!

Ok so I have one complaint about Omaha. 1. THEY DO NOT HAVE ROSS STORES!!! I love Ross. Lame. They dont have them in Iowa either. So I can't go to Ross ever basically, unless I want to drive 6 hours to Cheyenne Wyoming. Which I don't. Oh well... I guess I will appreciate it even more when I go home to visit.

Moving into Village Green

We are finally here! We have almost everything put away and we are painting! Yay! I was so sick of living in our white walled apartment in Utah. I am so excited to have a cute fun place that we can decorate and paint however we want.
It is definitely a work in progress but it’s starting to feel like home. :)
