Pressure
Last night, Joel and I had a fun date that was reminiscent of our old days.
We walked the aisles at Home Depot.
Actually, Joel walked. I pretty much crawled in pregnancy pain. We looked at lighting fixtures. We checked out samples of bamboo flooring and what kind of ceramic tile you could get for $1.12 a square foot. And finally, we made it to the paint sample aisle.
Oh paint samples how I love thee.
I had my color palette picked out from the Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams paint deck so our goal last night was to match it to Home Depot's Behr Paint. I'm very excited about our choices. Our cottage was great and I loved it but now it's time to evolve our tastes. Where we used yellows, greens and reds before, now we'll be living in pale grays, baby blues and celery. I'd like to thank our new favorite design show, Sarah's House for that.
I know that I should focus my energy on donating time to charity work, or teaching Sophia her multiplication tables or conserving solar energy, but right now I'm way too excited on the thought process of designing a home from the ground up. Well, at least picking out materials...the design part is pretty much set by the builder.
Now when picking out colors and textures, I think, "What would Sarah do?"

So... do you know for sure if you offer went through!!??
Yes, offer went through and we close July 1st. We have the floorplan and lot and ready to go. Exterior brick is picked out and so is ceramic tile for baths and laundry room.
Wow, you guys have been busy since I last checked in! Congrats!
Awesome!!! Congratulations to you and your family! How exciting!! The other night I dreamt that we moved... I don't dare tell Jeremiah after all the work we put into the house...but it would be kind of cool.
