Home Improvement

As many of you may know, we moved into our new home over a month ago. The house is in great shape! All that needed to be done was simply move in and unpack...Well, unpacking certainly takes a lot longer than we ever wanted it to, and we're newly married and really do not have that much to unpack. But after many hours of moving boxes from here to there, putting furniture together, moving back the boxes to here from there, we finished the main floor.

As mentioned earlier, the house is in great shape. However, some of the paint is not to our liking and the master bedroom had some nasty old-lady wallpaper (two different flower patterns to be exact). Well, we started the long removal process the day we moved in all the boxes from the moving truck. Much thanks to Jeff Jackson for his contributions. The de-wallpapering process took all evening of everyday for the week. During this time, we slept in the adjacent pink and salmon colored bedroom.

Once the wallpaper was finally off, and the lovely process of cleaning the walls off all the glue and glue remover was complete, we were finally able to start painting! Mindy taped off everything and we put on the primer and finally the paint. To entertain ourselves during the painting and drying of the paint, we watched several football themed movies seeing as how we were getting ready to watch the first BYU football game of the season. Rudy, Remember the Titans, and the Italian Job (okay, we know, but We Are Marshall wasn't on DVD yet) helped us get the job done until gametime.
We've since cleaned up all the painting stuff and moved into our master bedroom. We love it! We will be sure to post some completed pictures as soon as we take them, but we still have a couple finishing touches before that. We finished our unpacking a week or so ago and it's been great. The office is all set up, closets are full, and now we can finally relax. That is until next summer...
