Virtual Tour

You've asked for it...I'm delivering!

So as I'm SURE you know by now, Scott and I bought a house and moved in pretty well a month ago.

We've got things a little settled, so I figured I can show you what it looks like!

As you've probable seen, here's a view of the front!

'Tis a quaint little house!

Here's the front entry/living room area. 

Like our new furniture? :D

Here's a more full picture of the living room area. Want to come watch a movie?
We got the TV for a pretty good deal when we got the furniture :)

Can you spot Scott's polaroid collection??

He claimed the mantel as his own...

Turn to the left of the living room area, and you can see the kitchen/dining room. 

Right away, I loved the warm wood, granite counter tops and big fridge :D

We've even got ourselves a little dining room table now! 

 (It was Scott's Grandma's)

Right around the corner, there's the back door, closet and this little half bath.
AKA. George's bathroom. ;)

As you can maybe see, we need to mount something on the wall to hold the towel ;)

This is the view after directly coming from upstairs.
The door to go downstairs is directly to the left, right across from the kitchen.

I can assure you, there are no pictures of the basement because...

1. It's not developed.

2. That's where a lot of boxes/things we don't use very often are

3. Ya...it's not organized yet ;)

I will say though, the washer/dryer are both downstairs as well. 

Heading upstairs!

I didn't take a picture directly of the view, but you'll get the drift.
(This is the view from the master bedroom).

So on the left, are the stairs that curve around and to the left to go down. 

And you can also see this little built in cabinet. 

Directly ahead would be Scott's office, to the right is the spare bedroom and right across from the stairs is the spare (Scott's) bathroom. 

 Let's go to the office first!
Basically lots of Lego, books, etc and the computer.
Of course Scott made sure the office was the first thing all unpacked ;)
 

It gets really awesome light throughout the day, it's nice!

Moving to the right into the spare room...

Awesome paint, right? :D
The Lego flooded into this room as well, along with Scott's keyboard which is alright.
George frequently hides under this bed or cozies up on top.

Feel free to visit! But be prepared to share with George ;)

I didn't take a picture of Scott's bathroom, but I did take a picture of mine and they look fairly similar.

So use your imagination, and we'll move on...across the hall and into the master bedroom!

So apparently, I should've cleaned up a bit before taking the picture...oh well.
George likes to sit on the little black box and look out the window.
On the right you can see a bit of our dressers and directly past them is the walk in closet.
And to the left is the en-suite bathroom.

First, we'll go to the closet!

Yes, the closet needs some work. Those boxes are my shoes which still haven't been unpacked ;D

But it's pretty big, hey?

Still got lots of room in there! ;)

And over to the bathroom!

So this picture doesn't really show it all, but it's not all that exciting.
Tub/shower, toilet, vanity, mirror, little medicine cabinet type thing on the wall and a little window to the right.
Pretty standard!
Scott's is very similar except he has a grey shower curtain and no cabinet on the wall :D

And that's basically the dealio! 

In the back, there's a little deck, a small yard and a place to build a garage. 

We're hoping to build that either this year or next :)

Hope this little tour has been satisfactory. 

Any questions or if you're curious about anything...let me know!

Just because you've got the tour doesn't mean you can't come visit ;)

Really, this tour is unofficial...

Love you too.

PS. TGIF! Have a great weekend :D

Let's all run away :D

Why is the weekend over?
Is it ever long enough??

Not in my opinion.

I've been considering putting some pictures of our place up. You want??

You know what I want?
I want to go for a trip!

Where to?
Anywhere! Lets-a go! ;)

It was a fairly eventful weekend for us.
Let's begin.

Friday night.
Got home from work, watched a couple shows and then tried to convince Scott to go to Hot Yoga with me @ 8 PM. He's been before, and even said he liked it the first time around. But I guess the second time he went, it left a foul taste in his mouth...because it took a LOT of convincing this time.
HOWEVER we DID finally go and he liked it :D And he's even willing to go again - HOORAY!
It's fun to have a yoga buddy ;)

Saturday
I got up on the early side (for a Saturday) to go to hot yoga AGAIN for the 8 AM class. Scott wasn't interested on getting up for this one, but it was a really good class :D
Then I came back home for a little breaky and to get a few things done before we headed out to pick up some groceries - yay food!
After getting everything all packed away, we both had to get ready because Ben and Frances would be coming soon!
We then got all piled into Scott's truck to head to Southland for some swimming...it had been awhile!
We were meeting some other people there, but they didn't arrive til a bit later.
It was great to see Benson again and meet his new girlie, Kate-Lynn. Sorry things didn't really work out as planned, but we'll have to get together again soon ;)
Also nice to see a few people from the old crowd.

We were all swum out after a couple hours and were ready to go find some food!
So to iHop we went for some delicious, breakfasty (for me) food.
And then it was back to our place to watch Gladiator! Needlesstosay, Frances and I did not make it to the end. It had been a long day and we were exhausted! x.x

Sunday
We spent some more time with Ben and Frances and had some more good food!
Then Scott and I got to relax together and I got things ready for my morning routine.

What did YOU do over the weekend??
Want to hang out this weekend? ;)

Love you too.

PS. I finally tried THE Mat. I ended up keeping the blue instead of playing it safe and exchanging for black, despite the reviews where people had complained of some staining.
I've only used it 3 times...but so far, so good - no staining!
Yes, it's a much heavier mat and it doesn't stay rolled up very easily...but I've decided that I really like it!
I'm able to stick in place MUCH easier than on the old mat.
HOWEVER, if the class is EXTREME hotness and I'm pouring sweat, the mat will still get slippery.
So I'm not sure if I need to get an actual yoga towel or if I'm good with regular towels...but I guess I'll see and learn as I go.
And in regards to the rubber smell, I aired mine out for a few weeks and also gave it a bath (yes, really), so it was not bad at all. Yes, it does still smell a little bit, but I don't notice it at all during yoga so it's alright.
So far, I like it. I'll keep you updated once I've used it a bit more :)

Past Weekend

Ok, ok...just quick.

I was thinking to myself... Well, if I don't get the post up from the weekend, then I guarantee it won't be discussed.
So let's just get 'er done. Right? RIGHT!

Friday PM/Saturday AM, was probably one of our first 'major' (whatever that means) cleans since getting the house 2 weeks prior. Full on sweep, vacuum, mopping (well...Swiffer Wetjet), bathrooms, etc.
Looks good yo! Maybe I'll even get some pictures up sometime ;)

So why the big cleaning sesh?
Well first off, it was probably necessary.
Second, we had guests coming over!

Guests?
Tyler and Holly! Scott's cousin (Tyler) and wife (Holly), whom we hadn't seen since New Year's (even though apparently I didn't mention anyone in the post...go me).
(They have a blog here, but it hasn't been updated in quite some time...*nudge nudge*)

Menu?
Taco fiesta! We hadn't had taco's in a LONG while and we were craving them...so ya! Taco's!
Holly and Tyler brought an apple, strawberry, blackberry - crumbleish dessert that was SO GOOD! Delish~!

Events?
Well obviously, LOTS of talking...but we also watched a movie as per Scott's request.
'Take Me Home Tonight' which is actually not that old (2011) but it's set in the 80's.

Here's the description from IMDb...

"Four years after graduation, an awkward high school genius uses his sister's boyfriend's Labor Day party as the perfect opportunity to make his move on his high school crush."

And that basically sums it up...with lots of great 80's tunes along the way!
To me, it was just ok. There were funny parts, there were stupid parts, but overall it was alright.
I'd probably only give it **.5(2.5)/5.
You, movie, were just ok to me. 

These were the main events from our weekend.
Thanks SO much Holly and Tyler for coming and for the scrumptious dessert!
We shall have to do it again soon :)

(OH! Sunday I also made these banana muffins courtesy of Sally, which were also scrumptious, no thanks to me not following the recipe all that well. Heh heh. And of course, I have no pictures. Just look at hers, they're better anyways. Just believe me, they're good!)

I know it's been a while...but what did you get up to this past weekend?

And hey, lets get the ball rolling early...what's your plans for this weekend?
(since it's almost here!)

Hope all is well out there!

Love you too.

PS. Did you see George? ;)

All Caught Up and Easter Bunny Visits

3 posts this week?!

That's probably a record since...Christmas.

My life is pretty boring guys. I share with you when something happens, but even when something happens...it's not always exciting.

So as I told you, we just bought a house.
And I can share a post on the process if you'd like.

It was actually only conditionally sold at this point... but oh well! You get the drift ;)

I also just finished my 30 Day Hot Yoga Challenge!
But the yoga hasn't stopped there! I realized I loved it, and have still been going every morning!
Though I'm not longer going to FORCE myself to go everyday, I will keep going when I feel like it because I love it! But I do want to add some regular workouts back in as well ;)

There's just a couple more things to update you on to get you all caught up to date!

Easter! So we moved into the new house on Good Friday, completed our inspection to get the damage deposit at our old place back around noon on Saturday. From there, we continued on to Scott's parents house for an Easter feast(er)! Turkey and all the delicious fixin's...including pie ;) It was delcious!

Sunday around noon, it was back to the new home to try and get some things done!
Luckily, Monday was a holiday! So I headed to some hot yoga with Mel and then came back home to be pleasantly surprised by my own Easter egg hunt!
Needlesstosay, it was a little excessive...deliciously excessive!

Don't worry, we're still working on it ;)

Other than that, I've still been working and Scott's on spring breakup right now (lucky duck...). We're still trying to get everything all sorted out!
So far, we've basically gotten...
-most of the kitchen
-our clothes
-Scott's office
-and the living room/electronics are slowly coming together.

We got a new TV...a big TV. We also ordered a couch which should be here in the next 3/4 weeks - YAY!

AND THAT'S IT!
You're all caught up ;)

So how was your Easter? Any visit from the Easter Bunny? ;)
And what's your update??

Love you too.

PS. It's Friday! Have a good weekend! :D
