First Time for Everything

So this is my first blog site! Yay for me.

My life is taking me in so many directions lately, its a little dizzying.

There is so this part of me that wants to get really into remodeling our new house. Yes, AJ and I have purchased our first home in Roseville, CA. It's a great 3 bedroom, 3 bath ranch style house with a pool! I'm starting to obsess over color schemes and finding creatively cheap renovations. Craigslist is my crack. Here are a few of the things I'm on the hunt for...

1. Leaning Bookshelves...have you seen them? Some even have like an attached computer desk too! AJ and I want like a little office nook in our bedroom and I think that leaning bookshelves would be perfect.

2. Cheap furniture to refinish or repaint. The glass coffee table and end tables just aren't doing it for me anymore...I want something unique with a personal touch, but also on the modern side.

3. Outdoor Gazebo. Since we don't have a covered patio, we need some shade in the backyard. Especially if we're going to be playing cards and smoking hookah all summer!


So then there's this other part of me that keeps thinking of all the amazing trips we could be going on with the money we're spending on this house. Its all so much money and things keep coming up...little fees and stupid bullshit that we hadn't planned on. Not to mention we're pretty sure the pool has a leak, which could end up costing hundreds to fix. Welcome to the life of a homeowner, I guess.

I can't help but wonder, "When can I get outta here?"

Even though we thought our calendar this year was as full as it could be (SoCal roadtrip, Lahontan, the wedding, Hawaii...), I'm still trying to find a way to get out of the country this summer. I don't want to say anything until there are plans underway, but I may actually get to do it!

I'll end this by saying that I have the most amazing husband. I really really do. He's SO supportive of everything I want to do and be. I love him.
