Update

Our house is DONE! Yes, that's right. We had the walk through on Friday and next Friday we move in! I already have a full weekend planned of painting! Some people think it's weird, but I love to paint and I can't wait to get started. We don't have any pictures of our finished house but i'll take some soon and post them.

I work for a company that liquidates hotel furniture and they have two showrooms here in AZ. You can get the furniture for pretty cheap but if you are an employee you can get if for a steal of a deal. I got a sleeper sofa and a chair and ottoman (all recovered with new foam, so they are like brand new) for...well lets put it this way...I also got a very cute new red cabinet from Pier 1 and used their designer discount plus some other things ALL UNDER $1,000.00!! I am so proud of myself. When everything is in the house and set up I'll post some pictures. Right now everything is crammed in the basement and the garage so the pictures wouldn't be so great.

Donavon is rocking it in school this year. I couldn't be more proud of him. He still studies like a mad man and on test days he gets up at 3AM and is at school by 4AM...that is AM people! I make fun of him because he is not even getting up in the early morning, it is still the middle of the night! He is crazy but his view is this, this is his last year of studying so he better make it count. And does he ever. The 3rd year is clinical rotations, and the 4th year is externships around the US.

Well, that is pretty much what we have been up to the past month. Happy fall everyone!

Hello! Hello! We went for a walk this morning and found some homes in our hood that look exactly like your community. In fact, the sales office is your sales office, so I am sure they are the same. Anyways, sooo cute. Tony couldn't help but walk into some homes that were open (not occupied yet, :)
I love the unique style of them. Kind of jealous on that one. We are excited for you. Congrats.

Hey Kristen,

I'm glad you found us...we can be blog friends now! I will add you as a link!

That is awesome that you are going to use my site, since you are booking travel anyway! It is really user friendly and hopefully you will find some good deals! I am just trying to get the word out, so any help will be much appreciated!

Your house is so cute! Congrats!
