Homeownership = awesome!

Well, our apartment is now officially gorgeous!  After four looooooong days of taping, painting, and putting it all back together, we have a lot to show for it.  Unfortunately, i didn't have my camera with me, so no pictures were taken.  hopefully we will be back in there some time this week when the people from Lowe's come to install the new wood floors and carpet.  

Here are the things Matt and I learned from the whole experience:

1.  Be patient:  Those faux wood blinds will stay on the wall....eventually.

2.  Drink lots of fluids:  Dehydration can strike when you least expect it.  Also, you are quite worthless to the team that way.

3.  Shop hard for a bargain:  There are amazing deals to be had at Lowe's if only you play your cards right.  Also, bring a lot of confusing price checks to the register and then throw in a 10% off coupon half way through the purchase.  Insane savings!

Pictures next week!  Now I am off to a friend's wedding!
