Though we were late, the closing went through. And here's our new house!
Our friend Jesse has already started painting this evening, and we've picked out some carpeting. This place will look very different in a couple of days. We weren't sure if we'd replace all the carpet or not, but once the furniture was gone and we saw all the stains, we decided it'd be easier to replace it all, especially with babies licking the carpet in a few months.
We grabbed a color swatch book to try to pick out some paint colors and get our new place painted before we move in all our stuff. Here Jamin was trying to find a color that would go well with the fabric on my vanity's bench. We actually ended up going with a lavender shade for our bedroom instead of trying to match the bench. It'll be so fun to have different colors at our new place!
We're finally starting to get serious about packing. Looks like we're closing on our new house on the 27th! That's in just 3 weeks, and hopefully we won't be doing too much at the last minute. I had some help from our friend Sara from small group today and got a good start. It's tough for me to even do much packing now, and frustrating if I can't move boxes or other things around.
