Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet! Carpet!

Woo hoo! We have new carpet! Heck we have carpet. There hasn’t been carpet in the house since day 2 when we removed all the funky old carpet. It was so exciting to come home and see the new carpet. It looks awesome!!! The first thing we did after removing our shoes ws to roll around on it, and yes, I made fists with my toes. Trust me, it works, so relaxing. I even made a carpet angel! I can’t believe 2 guys (from JW Flooring) did the whole house in like 3 hours, plus they even took away the old nasty carpet! Seriously, Home Depot has some awesome deals right now.

Can you see the carpet angel?

Everything is starting to come together. Finally, now the move in phase can begin. The carpet was the biggest exciting thing to happen today, but mom and dad also got someone to haul away all the trash and a bunch of the yard waste. We had a lot. The yard had become quite the swampland before we got the house, but now it is starting to dry out and look awesome. Keeping up with the mowing on it is gonna keep us busy. And by us, I probably mean me… Oh well, the price one pays right?

I don’t know why, but it was also exciting to see a dimmer switch on the living room light. Thanks pop. It’s the simple things in life really, you know? Anyways, Estela and I didn’t really do much today but enjoy the new carpet. I don’t think we’ll be getting much done for a while besides moving. That’s the next phase of homeownership, actually living there. I know, novel idea. Well, we do need to finish up the bathroom. Dad was finishing up the caulking and was going to seal the tile tonight. Thanks again pop! After that texturing and painting, then the toilet and sink can go in. I can’t wait to see it all done.

Anyways, my allergies are killing me. I’m gonna crash, we’ll post ya later.
