Home Improvements

We really love our house, but there are some things about it that we are looking to change in the very near future. For Christmas we asked our families to give us some gift cards to Home Depot and we have already used almost all of it.

The biggest change we've made so far is painting our kitchen. A few months ago we took down the detestable wall paper border that the previous owners were compelled to hang in the kitchen, and with our new found Home Depot money we picked out a nice color and repainted the kitchen last weekend. Just a couple days after repainting, we made another trip to Home Depot just to spend some more of our gift cards, not really knowing what we wanted to buy. It turns out that we really like the idea of getting a new light fixture for above our kitchen table. So, here's our new kitchen.

Erin's parents got us this awesome picture of the Ohio State vs. PSU game that we went to in 2005. It was the best sporting event I've ever seen and the atmosphere was incredible. We have a dedicated Penn State room in our house and we hung all of our Penn State pictures in it along with the new one from Erin's parents. If you look closely, there is a blue "S" in the student section that is unmistakably all white, we were part of the "S" zone that day.

I am currently trying to run some speaker wire in the living room of our house that is driving me nuts. The wires are just not cooperating when I try to fish them into the walls. Our next big project will be to paint the exterior of our house, the original paint is still out there and it's looking a little rough.
