Busy Weekend

What a busy, yet accomplished weekend! (I started this post Sunday night, and now it is Wednesday, sorry!) I am so happy that we knocked a lot of things off of our to-do list. I think we went to Lowe's at least 8 times this weekend. You know you've been there a lot, when a guy who works there says, "back again?!" :)

Friday night we spent the evening celebrating one of my oldest friend's Birthday. She and her mom made the most delicious dinner, and it was so fun spending time relaxing and eating with great company. While she went out after dinner to celebrate with some other friends, Will and I headed to Wal-Mart to buy paint (Lowe's was already closed at that time, haha). We bought a gallon of white paint and all the supplies to paint the garage. Cedar fever was in full force that day, and was affecting Will pretty bad, so after our Wal-Mart trip, we called it a night.

Saturday morning we woke up bright and early (and I mean 6:30 AM early!!) to get started with painting the back part of the garage. We painted the first coat, and then made a breakfast trip to Ihop.

The garage looked SO much better with just a little paint! So glad we did that! We also sold the old stove that came with the house on Craigslist that afternoon too! That was a relief. 

Dezi enjoyed her squirrel hunt in her new backyard :)

After our entire morning/early afternoon painting fun, we met up with my mom and had our catering tasting appointment. Super fun, and we choose all of our wedding food! More on the details of that later.

Sunday, we finally painted the hideous orange/red accent wall in the living room to a pretty neutral darker grey color.

Goodbye ugly paint. Hello pretty new paint!

Much better!!

My mom and I also painted a storage closet, it was a pain, but I am so glad that we did it. It looks so fresh and clean now. No more ugly scuff marks and dingy walls. 

My mom snuck a picture when I was in full painting mode... haha

And lastly, we finally got the washer and dryer hooked up! Of course, it wasn't easy... whoever built our house, put the hookups on the wrong sides. We were so worried we'd have to keep them that way, but luckily the hoses reached far enough to switch them! Thank goodness for that! On our never ending list of things to do, we want to do a DIY pedestal for the washer and dryer to sit on. Stay tuned for that!  I could not wait to do a load of laundry in our brand new washer and dryer that night :) 

Hope everyone has a great rest of your week!
