I am sorry I have not updated in so long! We have been busy with working a ton, working on the condo, and birthday celebrations (last weekend for me and upcoming days for Keith).
Keith and I have painted the second bedroom grey and it came out just the color we were looking for. We are going to put nice band posters on the walls, so we wanted a fun(?) neutral color.
We have the color for the master bedroom and will start painting that tomorrow. It's going to be a beige/brown color. We want to get new bedding somewhat soon, so we wanted to be able to change the whole scheme of the room fairly easily when that time comes.
It looks like painting the kitchen will have to wait until after we move in, but we are thinking of blue for that. A long way down the road we will do work on the bathrooms and those will probably be green. That could change though, since that won't be for quite some time.
We asked the flooring people if they could fix the hole in our floor and they can! This means that our laminate is being installed Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday. Carpet will be installed on Thursday. If all goes as planned, this means...
WE CAN START MOVING IN NEXT WEEKEND!!!!!!! :-D
Keith's brother will be going back to school soon, so Keith's parents will be lonely soon. Or maybe just enjoying a quiet house. hehe

Closing Time
We closed on the condo! Everyone told us how many papers we would be signing, and we think that made us think it would be worse than it was, so that was good. The sellers are moving out tomorrow, and we should be able to get in there on Saturday. We did get keys today though!
I am excited! The rest of the customer service department at work gave me a little plant & a card today. Awww. It's looking not so great right now because it was in my hot car all afternoon... but it can come back, right?? I hope so. I think that would be a record for killing a plant!
When we got home we made calls to utility companies and the management company. It looks like our laminate floors will have to be approved. Hopefully that doesn't take too long. We are having someone come for an estimate on Tuesday, and after that we can fill out the approval form... as long as we still want to do laminate after the estimate. We want to have someone install it because we are not handy and we want it done & overwith.
Now we need to make the decision on the paint color. hmmm.

Tomorrow's the big day
Tomorrow Keith and I close on the condo! It's exciting, yet nerve-wracking all in one.
We aren't going to move in until we get some painting done and replace the flooring. Especially not before we replace the flooring. It smells like super smelly dog in there. Ew.
This weekend we are probably going to start painting some ceilings. We still need to decide on the walls. We are planning on putting in wood laminate floors everywhere but the bedrooms (new carpet for those). I read in the condo rules and regs about improvements, but it's a little unclear if you have to get the flooring approved, or if it's alright as long as you have the subfloor to help quiet the sound. If it does have to be approved... hopefully it won't take that long. And if it does... well I guess that gives us more time to decide on our paint colors! Don't worry - photos will be coming. I definitely want the "before" to be documented. :)
