Our house is beginning to show up!

We have had a busy week and weekend here in Riverside trying to "see" our house. It's taken a lot of work to get through all that crazy color, but I think we are finally getting somewhere! Friday night, we finished painting the master bedroom. Saturday, we painted the two front bedrooms in nice bright colors with some help from Josh and Erin (thanks guys!) Sunday, we finished edging out the first three bedrooms and Nick started work on his "man cave." I think we will have everything done that we want to have done in two weeks when we move in (June 15). Painting wise, we only have to do the stairwell and the hall (which should be interesting) and the master bath. Nick will also do another coat on the man cave and we would like to start some trim work on the existing baseboards.
In other house news, Nick put in a garbage disposal, which was desperately needed. The old one smelled like puke! We're so happy to have that in! We also purchased a lawn mower, that Nick used this morning. We were going to to get an electric mower, but broke down in the name of saving some money. Oh well. We also ordered our new carpet, which will probably be installed in about 3 weeks. It's a little slower than we would have liked, but I guess we should have ordered it last weekend. Oh well, furniture moving is included in the installation price. The only thing we need to do before we move in now is to put up a new ceiling fan in the master BR and possibly get a few new light fixtures (that look better than something from the 99cent store) in the hallway.
Other than all that house news, we have nothing new to report. We went out to eat on Saturday at CPK with Josh and Erin again to thank them for helping out with the paint. I worked a few extra hours this week, which turned into paperwork time because the patients didn't show up. I don't mind it when that happens, because I get paid a larger wage to work extra hours. This time, I didn't even have extra work. That's how I like it! No big news otherwise. We have had nice weather-not too hot yet and still cool at night. We're waiting for the summer ball to drop in July though!
Have a good week everyone!

You two are so ambitious! It will be nice for you to have all of that done before you move in. Good job!
