So, due to us not being able to get out of our lease and not wanting to put that on our rental history/credit and lose our deposit we have decided to stay put until the end of our lease. We're hoping we can negotitate a lower rent come February but we will see where the future takes us. We're still waiting on several What If's...
But with this news we're redecorating! I am sick of the asylum white walls in this townhouse (every one of the bathrooms are painted but the other walls were a cheap flat white paint) so we painted! We did our living/dining area a tanish/brown/leather color and cleaned the carpets. It looks absolutely awesome, I just have to say Cory is the best for doing this considering I had to work the day we did it. Next is my cleaning spree tomorrow while C is at work and then we're going to paint the master bedroom. We got new furniture off of Craigslist for it that is absolutely beautiful and then I'm hopefully going to be able to completely redecorate it. Then will be the office and after that the guest room (we just need queen sized mattresses. We have the frame now for the bed for the guest room!). Hoping to have this place homey by the end of the year. I'll post pics tomorrow, I promise :). I've also started decorating for Autumn, yay! This makes me so so happy. We've still got to work on our porch (our neighbors are outdoing us right now!) but hopefully it'll be done soon.
The only other news is our awesome weekend away a couple of weeks ago. I've been working WAY too much so we decided to run off to Atlanta for the weekend. We started our vacation in Helen eating a yummy dinner and then we got tattooed together... sorta. My grandmother passed away in November and when i get married my maiden name will become my middle name so since her favorite hymn was I'll fly away I got a sparrow on the back of my right shoulder. Cory had his tattoo touched up and it looks awesome. Then we headed to Atlanta, stayed by the airport and went and spent Saturday with my dad. We had an awesome time, then had an awesome dinner. Sunday was spent with Cory's aunt and uncle who we always have a blast with. All in all a great weekend that I wish hadn't had to end. Looks like we might head to NC this month to celebrate my birthday. I can't wait!
That about wraps up this post, another one soon, I still have other things to write. I hope this finds everyone well.
