It's our house, and we can paint if we want to...

Prepping the house for move-in is still underway. We figured what better way to make it our own than to paint it. Sonya and I finally agreed on colors and my wonderful family came over saturday to help paint. My mom, Betty, Anthony and Mia all did a great job. It's coming along very nice. Mia helped paint and acted as supervisor. Before we started painting I picked up some BBQ from a local spot called Pat's BBQ that was very good fuel for 7 hours of painting. One more room to paint this week. Our fridge, W/D, and TV come on friday. So close to moving in, yet so far away.

september 21st...

the big entrance...drumroll please :-)

sold...

Sweet Pea

she is officially ours! closing went as smooth as we could hope for. this would not have been possible without team castro which includes our super supportive family, friends, amazing realtor slyvia white,our awesome mortgage broker steve benavides and the wonderful people we have met along the way. we are so so ecstatic... at least now we both are. you see, weeks before signing tony was the one who was more excited while i was more anxious and nervous about everything going smoothly.  as soon as the deal was done, i quickly became super thrilled while tony soon found himself a bit overwhelmed with the many tasks at hand that of course comes with purchasing a 100 plus year old house. however, after getting our game plan on he is now back to being his focused and uber charged self and i am right there with him! so first things first... bring on the tape and float, the cleaners and liners, and the oh so lovely paint...

I did it, I did it

I'm just exploring this whole blog thing. I wanted to show Sonya I can do it to. Just 4 days till we get the house, and my mind is racing with to do lists. We can't wait. Pics will be coming soon.
