Almost moving time...for me!

I was able to go back out to Phoenix over the weekend. It was wonderful! only 3 more weeks until I get to move there and be with my husband!

I was so proud of myself for spotting our neighborhood from 20,000 feet in the air. It is in the middle-ish of the picture

Great view!

We (I) had a few goals (requirements) of what needed to get done over the weekend. Happy to report I completed more than I had originally said I wanted to get done! 

First was the office, Sean helped me with that. I doubt I would have gotten it done without his help! My children will never ever have those dumb little plastic glow in the dark stars that you stick to your ceiling. If they want stars, I will stencil them on there. Those buggers had us both cussing! 

Mid paint and removal of sticky star crap.

The office all painted and pretty

Second was the big red wall that started downstairs and went upstairs. I did that wall while Sean was at work on Monday. In my defense that house has red paint in nearly every room! the only room without red paint, 2 bedrooms and the dining room! The other 3 bedrooms, living, kitchen and family room all have red! I HATE IT!

My feelings towards red paint in my house

The red wall all gone!

Last I wanted to get the downstairs bathroom up and running (looking like an actual bathroom). It looks great. I want to put some floating shelves above the toilet. Other than some decorations, it looks like a bathroom!

My lovely towels!

Progress

We are slowly making progress on our new house. Sean started working and I am still technically in UT, so progress has gotten VERY slow!

I was out there over the weekend, so I was able to get quite a bit done. I got the kitchen all unpacked and the pantries painted and cleaned. I wouldn't let Sean put food in the pantries until I cleaned and painted them (they were disgusting)

The kitchen mostly done. We still have work to do, but that will have to wait (new counters, new stove, paint the cabinets etc.)

The hallway all painted pretty. Looking from the spare room into the living room. Now if we could just get rid of that horrid carpet!

A pretty view of our pool all cleaned and ready for swimmers!

Our front yard clear of all the weeds and ugly plants, pretty new ones in their place! Thank you landscapers!

Another view of our awesome backyard, and our new patio set.

Our new front door locks. Do you know how much better I sleep at night now knowing that complete strangers do not have keys to my house!

And because I am obsessed with these towels, I thought I would share with you the awesome new towels I purchased for our guest bathroom! Once the bathroom is complete, I will show you the pictures!

We did it!

We just finished closing on our new home in Arizona! So excited for the move!

Back yard - Including Pool!

Across the street! We will never have people there!

The end of the street.

We are so excited to start this next chapter in our lives. We have been working for this for so long, it is almost surreal that it is actually happening. We feel very blessed to have been able to make this happen. Things just happened to work out perfectly. From the listing agent telling us the amount of the other offer so we could beat it, to the lender finishing everything up with just enough time to close in UT so the paperwork could be filed in AZ in time.

We will miss out family and friends in UT, but we are so excited to make new ones, and be close to Sean's family in AZ. Let the warm weather begin!!

New House?

Sean and I are currently in the process of buying a house. It is a short sale, though has been going pretty quickly. We are supposed to close by next Friday. Which means we have to sign the papers early next week so they can be recorded in the city of Phoenix by Friday.

Oh yeah, We are moving to Phoenix! We are excited!

Once we close, I will post pictures. There will for sure be projects that need before and after photos!

Happy birthday Marc

I hope you enjoyed your cake! I loved making it.

Jeep

Sean talked me into getting a new toy. His beloved jeep! So pretty. We took it up in the mountains today, I think Sean had a little too much fun. Actually I got scared and wussed out.

Blogger from my phone

So now that I can blog straight from my phone (don't know how long I have been living under a rock). Maybe I will be better at blogging! We will see.

Sean took me to Vegas for my 30th birthday. I have such a great husband! We had an amazing time. The Aria is an amazing hotel, do swanky and beautiful. We will definitely be staying there again.

I have no idea how to arrange photos on this. So you get what you get.
