i don't have a stinkin title

so i've been going a little schizophrenic lately house house house wedding wedding wedding house house work (i had to write performance reviews) house house wedding wedding house getting the feeling? so i wasn't going to post any pictures until we closed but its been pushed back twice now and i'm dying to share what we're doing!! so we were supposed to close in 30 days which means we would currently be fixing in preparation for move-in! then the governator passed a ca state first time home buyer tax credit! but you had to close after may 1. we figured the potential to get $10,000 was worth a week! except may 1 is a saturday so closing became may 4. then the probate court assessor said our house was worth $40,000 more than we were paying...ummm-what?? the estate was all like hells to the no! there's deferred maintenance and all sorts of crap and we're ready to close so the court lowered the price, but there is court paperwork that has to happpen. ...

so.. a lot has happened in the past month. we found a house, and we'll be closing on may 4th!! we went back to the east coast for a family visit and to become godparents to the little ball of pudge ryan! (my brother's second kid) AND!! we finally set a date for our wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! july 31 yes this year not next! yes we know it only gives us 3 months to plan a cross country wedding and close on our house and get some basic stuff fixed and move i'm getting tired just thinking of it but the good news it it will be a backyard bar-b-q low key wedding like us unless my mom does something crazy (please don't i know you are reading this) i will not be a bride-zilla but there is a slight chance for a mom-zilla i get the fact that i am her only daughter and she's excited but i am not one of those girls that has been planning my wedding forever i'm currently focused on planning the house the house!!! i can't wait to post pictures,...

so in my perusing on the internets i found this awesome site retro renovation . this site is dedicated to everything retro, but primarily mid-century modern. i like the mid century look and design, but my tastes are definately more 70's retro but i LOVE this site!! and today i was proven right in my love of the site. she had a story on someone who re-did her AVOCADO GREEN KITCHEN ! i am SOOOO coveting this kitchen! someday, someday! i hope...
