Awesome House Warming Gift from my Sister

My amazing sister sent me this soap dispenser for my kitchen as our house warming gift.  You can find it on amazon.com.  It even has a little spot for a scrubby!!!!   Now just need to find cute colored scrubbies.



Garage Project

So we have been brainstorming all the stuff that we want to do to improve our new place.  We took on the project of painting our garage floor with epoxy.  Its a huge project, clearing all the stuff out, then cleaning the floor, letting it dry, cleaning it again, letting it dry and then painting it.  It's so worth it in the end, and now its so easy to keep the garage floor clean.  It is inexpensive, but it does take like a full week.  If we could do it over again, we would do two coats, which is recommended.  Here are the before and after pictures.



Pics of our Condo - We've moved in!!!

Here are some pics of our place with all of our furniture and belongings in place.  Its always going to be a work in progress, but its about 85% done.  :)


Our new Condo!!!!

I never thought that it would be possible to buy a home in Santa Barbara, but it was always my dream.  When we found this listing, from Adam's co worker, Joe I feel in love with this condo.  It was a long process but it was so worth it.  Overall it took about 6 months from start to finish.  We had a great team of people who helped us along the way.  Our realtor, Kevin Goodwin really helped us through the mountains of paperwork and the steps.  Kelly Marsh, our mortgage broker helped us get the best loan.

We are still getting everything settled, arranging everything.  But I still need to decide where the pictures go, and a few last pieces of furniture to get.  Here are some pictures before we moved in.
