1 More Month To Go! (but keep your fingers crossed)

The steel trellis is finally painted! (see top pic) We decided to do a sandy color rather than the same red that is on the rest of the metal work- we figured it would be too much of the red. And we were right! The trellis is almost the same color as the roof- which looks cool when you're looking down from the 2nd floor balcony. We got appliances last week (don't worry, I'll spare everyone the excitement of looking at pictures of dishwashers), lights are in, plumbing...they even had the A/C turned on last Friday. BTW- the bottom pic is of me and my friend Staci, and her little dude, Aiden. Pic taken from the balcony above the garage. All future pics will have the sunset directly behind us (and we'll more than likely have a little more drinks, and a little less baby- sorry Aiden!).

The main thing left to do is the landscaping, garage doors, and the gutters. For gutters, we're going to install a chain link down spout off the corner of the garage. The other 2 downspouts will be on the back of the house. Other than that, it's a boat load of little things to do before we close.

Tonight, we're going to have a little Sex in the City....and I do mean....THE MOVIE. We're seeing it with a group at the Alamo Drafthouse....complete with specialty cosmos. http://www.originalalamo.com/
For those of you not in Texas, the Drafthouse is a series of theaters that serves awesome food and drinks- in the theater, complete w/ waiters. Going to movies is way more appealing when there's food and alcohol involved- otherwise, we go to the 2nd best theater called Netflix. ;)
