beautiful views

I snapped this photo while waiting for our painter to arrive this morning.

Clouds rolling in over the foothills

I continue to be completely awed by two things. The first is how insanely close we are to the foothills. The second is the incredible speed at which houses are built. This photo was taken from the same place just over a month ago. Crazy.

I also realized while I was downloaded this photo that all of my plans to take a load of "before" photos of the house flew right out of the window when they delivered the wrong fridge on closing day. I'm a little sad that a majority of my "before" pictures will now include some furniture, etc. Oh well, I guess it's better than nothing. 

chaos

Life has been a little chaotic as of late. Between my regular job and catering all weekend for the past 18 weeks, I'm getting a little burnt out. I'm simply exhausted. Aside from recently purchasing nightstands and a dresser, we haven't had much time or energy to focus on house stuff, which is both a curse and blessing. 

Tomorrow we're two weeks out from moving in and I'm finally feeling the stress of packing up at my dad's, moving and unpacking. And because I don't have anything to share that isn't whining or bitching, I'll share a photo I took while sitting on our back patio looking at Red Rocks.
