Paint

I think that Tom and I have decided on a nice gray color for the paint in the new bedroom. We went to Home Depot and looked at a few color swatches, now I just have to shop around to see where I can get the best price at. We still need to make another Ikea run to get a few things and I’ve been looking on Craiglist for any furniture treasures, but so far nothing.

For a completely unrelated story: Yesterday my mom and I were at my cousin’s house when these two women knocked on the door looking for an address that was on her street. Today, my mom told me that the lady that lived next door to us when we were growing up (~10 years) died, and they were receiving people at the same address the two women were looking for the day before at my cousins. It was just so weird that they picked my cousin’s house to ask for directions, while we were there, and it was because they were looking to pay their respects to our old neighbor.

Moving Forward

Things are actually progressing along with moving up to “the house” as I’ve been trying to call it lately instead of “my Grandparents house”. Mainly because once we officially move in, I don’t want to catch myself saying I need to go to my grandparents house, I want to say I’m going home. We’re moving in officially the end of April when I’m on a break between my classes and Tom will be on vacation. We went to the house Tuesday to do a little bit of cleaning, moved some things off the wall, and installed a new doorknob with a lock on it. We also have tentative plans to paint, as long as we can find something that isn’t too expensive. We also made an Ikea run on Sunday and picked up a basic table that we’ll both use for our laptops. But let’s be honest, I’m known to lay in bed on my laptop so who knows how much I’ll use a table.
