blueprints...
i know most of the people visiting this site have seen tim's blog, but just in case, i wanted to post the un-official blueprints of the house:

we are currently discussing furniture layout options...and i've decided that the living room is WAY too big. i think it would be cool to just fill it with those plastic balls they have at places like chuckecheese...

my first house (former roommates, please do not take offense)...
the dwelling pictured below will be my first house. not a house paid for by my parents, not an on-campus dwelling shared by sorority sisters, not a georgetown "townie" apartment, or an over-priced miniature one bedroom in yuppie-ville. a house of my own (and tim's). granted, i won't be paying a mortgage on the thing, so i won't really "own" it, but it sure will feel like it with these california rental prices.

i'm very excited about the whole thing. well, not the moving part, but the decorating and settling in part. for the first time i will have more than 500 square feet to (with the help and input of tim) put together the way i would like. no roommates to argue with about the furniture layout, no discussions over whose picture looks best over the couch, no issues surrounding whose dishes are better and should be used.

well...now that i think about it, i suppose all of that will probably occur. but i'd rather have those discussions with somebody i love than with somebody i am sharing a small, overly furnished apartment with. no offense to the people i have lived with before this, but i am sure you can all agree that moving in with a significant other is different and better for many reasons.

tim may not always feel that way as i am sure that there will be many "discussions" surrounding pictures, decorative items, furniture layout, etc. as one of the alumni council members said to me this past weekend: "you mean, tim will be allowed to have a say in things. but it's not necessarily what will happen."

Finally!
At last I have a picture of the house for you. This is taken from my current front porch.


The truck in the driveway is the owner's handyman. He is currently stripping all the wallpaper from the kitchen, dining room and bathroom. So, one less ugly thing we'll have to worry about.

I'm sure I'll have more for you sometime soon, I currently reviewing my backyard pictures to figure out what I'm going to do with it.

I have attached those two pictures below.


As you can see, I have a lot of work ahead of me!

Coming Soon!
Since Danielle and I are taking the big step of moving in together, I thought I would try and make it as small as possible, and we are moving across the street from my current house.

Our anticipated move in date is 5.13.06. We decided that we would start up a blog chronicling our move, her redecorating, my yard overhaul, and the pets reactions to each other.

The page is still in the early stages, and I'm sure everything will change (template, title, etc). But I was bored at work today and felt I would get the groundwork laid. (Also, Danielle is on a plane right now, which I've found is the only time I can get any creative freedom around here!)

But, you can look forward to pictures, both before and after, of the house, the pets in the house, us enjoying the house, parties at the house, and anything else we can think of, pertaining to the house.

I'm sure there will be bickering and arguing at some point. We may even post pictures of a room arranged in two different ways, asking you, the reader, which one of us has the better taste.

I'm excited, Danielle's excited, Bandit's always excited, even the cats are excited... ...if only our parents could be as sure of their feelings towards our big move...

Stay tuned, this can only lead to excitement and adventure (of the redecorating kind)
