Oh Hey There!

Although I have been spending copious amounts of time on my computer it has all been for the love of finishing up this semester of graduate school.  I literally just finished my final paper for my contemporary art class (what do you want to know about Yoko Ono?) and hopped right over here.  Now I can finally engage in all these crazy nesting urges I am having and start to focus more on this pregnancy and relaxing.  You want to know what the hardest part of being pregnant so far is? Not being able to buy EVERYTHING and decorate like a crazy person.  Now that we are past the first trimester I feel more comfortable buying things but good god I would say about 98% of baby stuff is gender specific.  I don’t know how people who wait the entire 9 months to find out the gender do it.  I am too impatient and we will be finding out the gender in June.  Currently I am thinking girl but it could be a Cyclops for all I know. Just kidding, baby!  I have bought a few things but I mostly have just been spending time on Pinterest getting inspiration. Today’s finds…mobiles!    

Saturday Morning

There is really nothing like Saturday morning.  Its so nice to sit around and enjoy the quiet instead of rushing out of the house to go to work. I usually wake up before Bradley so I have the house to myself.  I try and use this time to catch up on my internet browsing, laundry, and taking care of my plants around my house.

So on to the more exciting news!  I think we have a house!  Our townhouse that is.  Our offer was accepted by the buyer so this week I have been running around trying to get everything in order.  Luckily we had already met with our mortgage lender but this week we had the inspection and I had to visit a real estate lawyer since we are buying this house "for sale by owner".  This is another townhouse for sale in the cul-da-sac.  Ours is the mirror opposite with a more updated kitchen.  The best part is my parents are 3 houses down and one of my best friends, Brittany, is 5 houses down.  My dad has already started calling it the commune.  Its not what we originally set out to buy but it is probably the best move we could have made.  It is big enough to start a family in, I have a built in babysitter a.k.a mom, and it is close to the college campus so eventually we will turn it into a rental.  Isn't it fun being an adult? Its hard to believe I have actually made it to this point.  I really never thought I would.  I feel so grown up and responsible. Its kind of awkward.   

Now that everything is moving along my mind has now switched over to decorating mode.  Its probably a little early but I just can't help myself!  The thought of painting walls whatever color I want just makes me giddy on the inside.    These are the colors I have playing around with although I just got a funny look from Bradley over the purple.  I really just want to paint various shades of grey with pops of color and pattern here and there. 

Who knows.  I will probably change my mind tomorrow but it is good to start thinking of these things, right? Also there is an Ikea opening up in Denver this fall.  I have a feeling that we are going to be spending a lot of time there.
