Two Week Update!!!

It is hard to believe that it has already been two weeks since closing, but it sure has and we have made so much progress in that time.  We were able to paint every paintable surface in the house and this morning our carpet was installed which meant that we could finally move in some actual furniture tonight!  We are missing quite a bit of furniture still, but that is the life of the newlyweds!  We look forward to finding things we like to fill the empty spots in the not too distant future.  Of course, none of these rooms are done yet, but it is a start!  We now have three beds to choose from, a couch to sit on, and a fancy table to eat at.  So much progress since last week when there was not a single piece of furniture in the house! I have to say that we were pretty happy that we finally got to open up all of our bedding and put out all of our china for the first time since we were given it for our wedding over 8 months ago!

Master bedroom:

China hutch and dining room:

Family room and new tv:

Primary guest room (we accidentally left the comforter at the other house):

Secondary guest room:

Jared's ready room (I made him a temporary couch out of a mattress pad):

Thanks so much to Chas and Meagan for stopping by and helping me set up both of the guest rooms!  Carrying mattresses and box springs and making beds by myself is possible, but it sure is easier and a whole lot more enjoyable to have people to help!

And not that this really has to do with the progress of the house, but Bella is very happy with the carpeting and the house in general.  She seems like she is finally starting to feel at home, which we couldn't be happier about.  Sorry for the plethora of pup photos, but I just might think that she is the cutest pupster in the entire world!

  

On a completely different note, we have been trying to decide what to call our house since if you were to say meet at the Fisher's, it would refer to multiple homes.  Jared's parents call their house Fisher Family Funhouse and his sister calls hers House Divided, but we only seem to be able to come up with silly names like the Green Machine, Jarenella, and Big Green.  Any clever suggestions are welcome as we know we need to come up with something better than those!!!

We are very very very proud of what we have done in the last two weeks and are getting very excited to officially move in on Monday. We are also looking forward to sharing what we have accomplished with my Mom and Grandma, who are coming to town on the 15th!  Their beds are all made and we can't wait for them to help us tackle the garden in just under two weeks from now!
