Still can’t believe we lost everything on our hard drive. I’m still pissed off.

The van is in the shop. Hopefully, it will be done by sunday afternoon since Jeremy’s parents will be arriving that night and Jeremy has to work at 8:30pm. I’m sure it will be costly even though Jeremy told them exactly what is wrong with the van, they said they still need to run their diagnostics.

The cats are still awesome. They’re loving the new house but seem to think the house rules of the apartment do not apply here. They are under the impression that they are allowed to sleep on the coffee table, dining table, kitchen island bar, walk on the cook top, play on the computer desk, climb on bookcases, and etc. Looks like I’ll have to start re-training them.

We have the house slightly more set up. There is still a fair number of boxes piled everywhere but you can mostly get to where you need now. I had hoped to get everything set up before Jeremy’s parents arrived sunday night however, it proved impossible. The house is so small we can’t fit very much in it. So the boxes will just have to stay until we purchase an ass load of storage bins, cabinets, hutches, and etc for all our junk.

The biggest problem is closet space. We have none. There are 3 closets in the whole house. One small closet in each bedroom and a tiny ass linen closet by the bathroom. Jeremy and I are having a very difficult time sharing one tiny closet and one tiny dresser. We both packed away a shit load of clothes but it barely made a dent. I think our closet is around 4 feet wide so we each get like 2 feet of space for everything we need to fit. I’m thinking of putting up shelves on each side of closet to hold more clothes. Our bedroom is only 10×10 and our bed takes up 6×5 of that space. Then the nightstand, a small craft table, dresser, and etc. There isn’t any room left for other storage options.

We haven’t decided on any colors for the house yet but these are some of the colors we thinking about.

Jeremy is thinking this for the kitchen:

And these are the other colors we are looking at:

We both have different tastes when it comes to decorating. I think I’m a little more chaotic in my choices. A bit stranger. I would not think twice to paint the kitchen black, with lime green and black cabinets, leopard print on all the molding and door frames, and large black and white framed photographs of Marilyn Monroe on the walls. Jeremy has more tasteful and elegant tastes. More subtle I guess I’d say.

Since its Jeremy’s house we’ll do whatever he wants. However, when I can afford to buy my own home, I’m doing it my way. Actually Jeremy and I were talking and think it would be fun to just build two “small” houses together and one side is mine, one is his. They would be connected into one big house but we’d each have “our own home” together. I think more couples should do that. Fuck compromising, just fix the problem in such a way that you can each have your own way. (impossible, but sounded good.)

Here is Jeremy in his new house. Still looks sad.

He looks slightly more entertained that night:
