Color Wheel

These are the colors that are going in my house (for now):
Cranberry Zing
Hazelnut Truffle
Eyeshadow
Silver Brocade Foliage
Norman Villa Neutral

I'm buying the paint today. Last week I bought 3 appliances. We've got a moving truck and some friends coming to help us move on Saturday.

Pray for nice weather and sunshine!

House updates:

Inspection is done. Nothing major.
I've hired an attorney for the closing which is turning out to be a very good idea as the sellers attorney is giving us a hard time with one of the inspection clauses.
I have just 4 more documents to turn in at the bank, and everything with them will be done except for the closing.
I'm starting to think about appliances, and I think I'm going to get them at Sears.
I've typed up the lease agreements and distributed them to both roommates.
I've written out house rules also.
I'm pretty close to deciding on paint colors and now know where I will be buying the paint and supplies.
I have my first year of homeowner's insurance paid for.
I've thrown a LOT of stuff out, and I've dropped off 3 large bags of mine and Steph's stuff at Goodwill, with a few more bags to go.
I'm also trying to sell some books and picture frames on ebay and craigslist.

Oh, and I've started reading Unclutterer.com. :)

I've gone and bought a house!

Finally.

Except there are a few things that are up in the air, like the inspection which is tomorrow, and the closing won't happen until 3/28. I hope everything goes smoothly the next 3-4 weeks!

We (Aubrey, Stephanie, Nevan and I) went and looked at it on Saturday with Dad, Nate, Grandma and Pappy. Here's the pic of the new roommates in front of our new house!


Here are the specs for those of you interested in that:
4 BR
2 BA
1309 sq ft.
2.5 car garage
In Urbana, about a mile from 74 near Cunningham.
Built in 1996 (fairly new!)
