moving right along

Appliances came today! Yay! And side note, this is the first time i've ever done a second post on a blog. I gueess third time really is the charm. One thing I have noticed during this process, is that I have no realistic sense of time. It's no surprise that I am late for everything. Two weeks ago I honestly thought I was going to paint a whole house, all the doors, doorknobs, kitchen cabinets, stain a brick fireplace, clean the whole house, clean my apartment, and pack and move and all kinds of other things. At least I think positive. I didn't get it all done, and with two days left I know I won't. I do think things are looking good and in two days I'll be living where my projects are which will be a nice change.

moving up

Well, let me just tell you this; there are two things I'm quite sure of.  Numero uno - I am not a good blogger. And B - fixing up a "fixer upper" is a lot more challenging than I thought it would be.  Lucky for the Hansen fam we have amazing family and friends to help us along in this endeavor.

A few months ago Brandon and I started feeling extra sick of apartment living, I'm actually quite sure we had a wild pack of dogs living in the apartment above us.  Although we had about 6 months left on our lease, we had to see what was out there.  Well, we have this super amazing friend Michelle who is a real estate agent.  I was just checking out her website and found an amazing and I mean AMAZING deal on a house that is close to where we still live.  I called Michelle and we went to look.  Now, this house really needed some work, but I thought "Hey, Brandon has already done this once.  I'm sure he'd love to do it again!"  To make a long story short, we bought the house and it is awesome.  The 'B' word graffitied on the brick fireplace is even starting to grow on me.
