It's been a month since the wedding and we're readjusting to regular life. We've especially been enjoying our free time, sans-wedding planning ;) now that we're settled in, I'm going to make a New Years resolution, which I don't normally do. I don't think that one should have to wait until the new year too make positive changes or use it as a way to procrastinate making changes until the next year. That being said, I started this blog to communicate with friends and family better and I resolve that moving forward I will do my best to post more regularly.
To do a quick catch up: We had a very fun and festive holiday season starting with Hanukkah, our work holiday party, cookie making with friends, the Bears game here in AZ, and a Christmas meal with the Grady's at our home.
For NYE we were very productive :) We decided on a paint color for the living room, which we'd been talking about for a while. We bought all the painting necessities to do the job ourselves and made the last minute decision to get started on Monday after work when our dinner plans fell through. We were most nervous (or maybe it was just me!) about the taping and doing that part straight. It took a while to get everything taped off and ready to paint before the actual painting could begin. We finally finished around 11:30 just in time to relax and ring in the new year :)
On New Year's Day it was time to mount the tv to our newly painted wall. First we too the tape off the paint and were pleasantly surprised to see how we'll we had done with our taping job! Nice clean lines with minimal bleeding :) Now it was on to the hard stuff. Jack broke open the mount and began trying to figure things out. We had a minor hiccup discovering that the stud finder needed a 9 volt battery, which we did not have in the house. A quick trip to the grocery store then we were back on track. The most nerve racking part of the process was walking away from the tv at the end and trusting that it wasn't going to come crashing down off the wall!
The room looks great with the tv mounted and the walls painted... And I'm pretty sure I've caught the decorating bug!!!
Enjoy the before and after of the living room as well as some photos we took at the SGA Holiday party!! :)
Love,
Mollie and Jack
