Now, I know you were all very very concerned about the loss of my dvd collection for the last 4 months, but worry no more...
They have been FOUND and safely returned to my dvd holder inside my house!!!
All is well and good in the new house, now that the movies are back.
What to watch first... Titanic, Casino Royale, Atonement?? Jeez, what a decision!

OMG!! It really did happen!!
On July 22nd, Tony and I closed on our very first house!! It was a long time coming for us to finally get our house, almost a full year passed with 5 offers on 4 houses, but it happened.
We stayed the night in our first house, directly after closing and a celebratory dinner at Mead Street. We brought our cat, our new air mattress, and an overnight bag to our house. It wasn't great...there is no a/c (and its been so hot lately), General Tokyo meowed all night, and we are retarded for forgetting pillows. Ok, so not the best night sleep of all, but it was really special!
Tony has worked all week, but we have gotten so much done with me at home unpacking and Tony helping with everything else when he gets off work. We officially moved the next day with the largest uhaul available, and it still wasn't enough for all of our crap. Luckily, Tony's dad, sister, and brother-in-law helped all day. Oh I guess I should say his nephews helped a bit too. They mainly complained that a sleeping bag or pillows were too heavy, but it was fun.
So far in the unpacking craziness, I have only found one box with broken objects, which is pretty good, I guess. I still haven't found our box of DVD's, and if you know me, there are a ton, and it will be very expensive and hard to get all our movies and TV shows back. I still have half of the garage full of boxes, so maybe I will stumble across them. Please keep your fingers crossed we will find them. I haven't watched my movies in 4 months now, and I am just dieing to watch Titanic!
I have painted the kitchen, and sure had fun with it. I haven't been able to paint a room the color I wanted in about 8 years, since I lived with my mom and painted my room purple for the heck of it, and I mean really bright, eggplant purple! The kitchen is called Rolling Hills, but it is a nice mixture of lime/avacado/aspagagus green! Tony is a minimilist, love neutrals and straight lines. I like bright, antique, and funky things. We are trying to blend our styles, but it is hard for both of us to do. He is deciding on the paint for the living room and bedrooms, with grays (stormy night), browns (coffee), and whites (arcitechural white), so I told him I got free range of the kitchen and bathroom and they were going to be bright and cheery. I do like the idea of the living and sleeping areas as soothing tones, but the kitchen and bathroom need to be crazy, in my opinion! The bathroom will be kind of sea foam/bright green. Oh I love green!!
Obviously we have tons of decorating to do and cleaning and unpacking to do.
Other photos on the previous blog post... OMG!!! Its actually going to happen

8 things...
8 things I am passionate about...
1. Tony is always numero uno! My family is also in first place tied with him.
2. the wedding, since I am completely obsessed right now, but I should be as there are only 75 days left until the big event!!
3. our new house, which we are supposed to close on TOMORROW at 12:30!!!! (see post below)

5. my baby boy, The General Tokyo
6. Um, this website Lists of Bests. I cannot get over it. I am attempting to finish the AFI's top 100, all the Oscar winning movies, and so many more its retarded!!
7. Wedding related crafts, I can't seem to get enough and i also can't seem to get it all done, but I still have some time.
8. Well, this goes with the house thing, but paint colors. I love the Behr website. You can choose colors you like and paint the walls of really rediculous houses! Too fun!
8 books I have read and enjoyed (in no particular order)...
1. Water for elephants
2. The Red Tent
3. Harry Potter books, and that means all of them
4. Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse
5. The chronicles of Narnia
6. Most books by Sandra Brown, but especially Envy. Oh the mysteries, not romance novels.
7. The death artist
8. Red Dragon and Hannibal
8 things I want to do before I die...
1. go to all 50 states, and I only have 5 left
2. visit every continent, and I only have 5 left as well, but not quite as impressive as the states

4. have one of my novels become a movie
5. to love my tony, and have him love me forever
6. go back to school for writing

8 things I have learned this past year...
1. It takes freaking forever to buy a house. Almost a full year for us!

4. I love love LOVE the fact that everything I can do now, I can do as an adult!
