We got it! Settlement took literally 30 minutes. Everyone was astonished, but I guess everyone had their stuff together. Anyway.. now the fun begins! I will post pictures this weekend! Yay!
Additionally, the wedding is now less then 90 days away, which is just plain crazy. Our wedding rings came in, and they fit. I just tried mine on for like 2 seconds - and Eric had his on for a bit more only because it got stuck on his fat knuckle =)
Also, I have spring fever and want nothing to do with work... HAHA. Track just started and now my life is hectic again. Oh well, eventually I will get everything done!

Our settlement was pushed back... we aren't sure now, but it may be either Friday or Monday or possibly even later. I am hoping for Friday... a three-day weekend sounds nice & then I can still do some housework on Sunday!
Anyway.... house ideas!
inspiring kitchen re-do.

I love the idea of grey-beige walls in the living room. Any color you put with grey really pops, so it is very versitile. This picture is from Domino.
I just love these white pitchers and scrabble tiles... from decorating addiction.
I also printed out more invitations... the wedding is 95 days away! =) I can't wait!

The days are counting down until our wedding.. we are under 100 now! The main thing that needs to be accomplished soon is finishing the invitations. I will finish this week.
Even more exciting is the fact that in less then 5 days we will own a house. wow. We spent mucho $ at Lowe's on Saturday buying painting supplies and a new lock. Hopefully everything goes as planned and we can have the entire house pre-cleaned and prepped for painting by the end of the weekend!! Yay!

Young House Love

So, I am at work. I am supposed to be thinking about work-related things: lesson plans, grading, discipline, blah blah blah.
BUT, All I can think about is decorating the house, set to become ours in 1 week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. That was a lot of exclamation marks on purpose, I am just plain excited. Anyway, I have been gathering inspiration from all sorts of places. Yesterday I watched my favorite show on HGTV, "Property Virgins," a show about first time home buyers, and this one couple toured a house where the entryway was this awesome shade of dark grey with white trim. I have been thinking about painting the living room/hall bathroom area dark grey for a while and that just cemented it for me.
Also, our cabinets are just plain boring. We want to paint them - well, I want to paint them. Here are the directions we will probably follow - from one of my new favorite blogs http://www.younghouselove.com/2008/11/how-to-paint-your-kitchen-cabinets/
Young House Love is just plain awesome. After settlement we will be taking tons of "before" pictures to share!

I've been very productive lately!

Many accomplishments lately!
1- Eric and I picked out and ordered our rings on Saturday. So exciting! Mine is designed by the same manufacturer as my engagement ring, so it will match. It is white gold with 0.25 carats of princess cut diamonds along the top of the band. Beautiful! Eric's band is also white gold, and it is slightly rounded in "comfort fit".. whatever that means.
2 -Eric and I will be having settlement on our house in Langhorne, PA on March 25. This is a huge step for us, and we are both a little nervous. We drove around and explored the area on Saturday in the rain. Our supermarket is awesome, and when I found this out, I felt comforted. My life is so average!
3 - I went and had my first dress fitting this evening at the Bridal Manor. My dress fits! So excited that I won't have to worry about losing any weight, that takes a HUGE burden away. The dress is beautiful and wonderful and it makes me look really skinny!!! Next fitting is May 10, and I need to get my shoes before then!
4 - I ordered my dress for Emily's wedding from David's Bridal. I know this has nothing to do with my wedding, but I am excited to be part of Emily's special day on August 21!
5 - Many things have been ordered from Etsy.com... including bridesmaids gifts! I also bought a hair pin; it has a 1/2 inch art-deco style blue gem, and it is going to be my "something blue"... unless I find something else better. Either way, it is a cute bobby pin!
Things that need to be done:
1 - Finish Invitations.. this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2 - Find shoes, before May 10
3 - Set up engagement session with the photographer... soon
4 - female dr's appt... soon
5 - order a veil... shopping etsy I have found a few I like.. keep looking!
6 - buy a (few) dress(es) for the bridal shower, rehersal dinner and honeymoon
7 - MUCH MORE STUFF!!! TOO MUCH TO HANDLE!
