Our Lovely Condo (for you, Mom!)

Greetings from sunny San Diego!  Chris and I are doing fantastic in our new life.  I couldn't be loving everyday life more than what I do.  This update is primarily for my dear mother - the only one who ever checks our blogs anymore.  Now that everyone is Facebooking, we have somewhat "given up" on our blogs (especially since no one looks at them).  Our Facebook is very active, but I would like my mother to know that her middle-born is still living and breathing!
Here are few pictures of our condo, Mom.  I hope you enjoy them.  Sorry it's taken so long to get them up.  But our place is really starting to shape up.  We are remodeling the kitchen top to bottom in the next couple of weeks.  I got to pick out the new cabinets, countertops, and sink at Home Depot!  Very exciting!  I'll post more pix once it's finished (maybe, in about a year, after much begging from my Maj!).  Love you, Mom!

The only shots of our kitchen you will see. . . until it is finished.  And just FYI, Chris obeys my oven sign daily.
With the help of my many cookbooks and my best friend the Crock Pot, I am able to serve meals that are rather delectable!
I just realized I have several signs requesting a kiss.  Gotta love being newlyweds!
Accent lighting in our beautiful bedroom
Chris says our bedroom looks like a hotel picture.  It is definitely my favorite decorated room in our abode.  (Oh, and please excuse our central A/C sitting in front the blinds.  Tacky, I know!)

I love this lamp!  It is the greatest accent piece we own.  Chris thinks it's kinda dumb to have a lamp that doesn't give sufficient room lighting. . . I'm still working on this country boy.

Where did you get that lamp???? We NEED two of them!

Craigslist. The same place we got our living room furniture and tables as well. I love that place. I don't know where she originally got it, but I love it! I think it is so adorable.

Leave it to David and Bek to ask about the lamp when Chris and I were thinking the same thing. Oh well, style is a matter of the heart, and I must have a different kind of heart. Your apartment really is looking good, Blondie. I'm really excited for you.
