What we have DONE

So I thought I would share what we have done in the past month since buying a home, instead of what we have learned!

1. We have painted 5 out of 12 rooms in our house. Oh, and one garage and two hallways! BUT, we paid to have all but two rooms and the garage to be painted. Josh hates to paint! He did too much growing up!
2. I have only cooked twice, YES twice! Which means Josh has pretty much kept us from starving to death! I love my husband!
3. Josh has mowed the yard twice and it currently needs to be mowed right now!
4. We have NOT made our first house payment, but we have paid for sewer, trash, cable/Internet, gas, and I am currently waiting or better yet dreading our electric bill.
5. I have officially broke in our washer and dryer! I have done countless loads of laundry!
6. We have met all our neighbors and really like them! They are all very nice and seem like a lot of fun!
7. I have gotten off my exercise and running schedule!
8. Josh has put us up a Mascot! (details to follow in a later blog)
9. We have mailed out our open house invites!
10. We have ALMOST missed the trash man! A little back ground/detail: Trash day is Friday for us. Last Thursday I asked Josh if he wanted to go ahead and take the trash out to the curb since tomorrow was July 3rd and neither of us had to work. This way we could sleep in and not worry about getting up and taking the trash out. Josh's response was no, because last Friday they didn't show up until like 3:30 PM. I said fine it is all you then. Friday morning about 8:00 AM (way to sleep in, huh!) I am sitting in the chair and Josh is relaxing on the couch. I hear something like a loud truck and I look out the window to find the BIG Green Stinky Trash Truck rolling down our street. I looked at Josh and say trash man is here! And of course Josh jumps up and hauls balls down to the garage to get the trash to the curb. Mean while I am running to the backyard to get the doggy poop bag so it can go with the trash. Lesson of the story... Listen to your wife!
