The little things.

Though I've been working hard at my job, I've been hardly working on the house. Time is a very precious thing these days, and, of course, something I (we) have very little extra of.

Some things we did have time for recently was our honeymoon (April 15-20) and a friend's wedding on the 21st. :) The honeymoon was GREAT (more on that eventually, I promise, maybe) and the wedding was very small and beautiful. It was an evening affair, so in the morning we went and returned/exchanged some wedding presents, and got some things we REALLY needed- like trash bins!

Black is for trash, white is recycle.

We also bought a refrigerator from some friends- I love it! It's a almond color, side-by-side fridge and freezer, with an ice and water machine in the freezer door. I feel like we should have paid them more for all the work it took to get it in the house!!! (Sorry Jeremy!)

All in all, we've been making progress on the house, though it is slow and steady. We still have a ton to do, though. Listing for me to remember, and also for progress updates, I suppose?

Things to Do (in no order whatsoever):

1. Kitchen
• Put fridge back together and turn on, replace filter
• Tape to prep for painting walls and cabinets
• Kill kitchen walls
• Put second layer of Spackle on holes in walls
• Put light plates back on walls
• Scrub out cabinets and drawers (again)
• Put shelf paper in cabinets and drawers
• Replace faucet
• Replace filter under sink?
2. Bathroom
• Clean inside and outside vanity
• Clean inside and outside medicine cabinet
• Clean closet
• Scrub floors, esp. grout
• Replace toilet paper holder
3. Every other room in the house
• UNPACK AND CLEAN!!!

As you can see, we only have a ton more to do. Hopefully we'll have a washer and dryer soon! For tonight, I'll be doing laundry and Mom and Granny's. :3

Adventures of Newlyweds

So. Married life is cool, I guess. The only thing that has really changed is that we're now living together in our super awesome house. :D

April Fool's Day was super exciting! ...our water heater decided that it needed a new manifold, so we didn't have hot water for about a day, but it was fixed quickly. Hooray! It cost $172, but my mom paid us back for it- what a great landlord! Haha. She really is a great landlord though, but I think it helps that we're related.

A bluejay (we think) is making a nest above our garage security light- at first, it was failing spectacularly, but now it actually has created something resembling a nest. I'll eventually get a better picture of the nest, but here's a photo of the pile of fail I tweeted a couple days ago:

The nest was really pathetic back then...the nest has been getting better, so we should have some bird eggs up there, and baby birds born soon!!!

I'll eventually make a post about how the house has come along (and how it was before, eugh). But for now, time to watch some Netflix with my honey. <3
