Madison GA

On the way back to NC from Ga Nathan and I stopped in Madison. It's a really cute little town with all kinds of neat shops.

This junk store was amazing! They had all kinds of awesome treasures.

It was really hot so we got some ice cream.


A really fun toy store

Bedroom

The bedroom is painted! As you can see I'm still waiting for Nathan to take down the blue tape that I can't reach. I usually paint and tape everything that I can reach and he comes back and does the rest.


This is the duvet cover I bought from Pottery Barn last year on sale. We're going to pick up my grandmothers iron bed tomorrow and I can't wait to put this on it! (I don't have any sheets though...hmm)

Bathroom

The bathroom is done! I have to prime and paint the door to the cabinet and get Nathan to put the light fixture up and then it will ready to use. I really like the light blue we picked out. It turned out really nice. It's a really small bathroom so it's hard to take a good picture of it but these will at least give you an idea.



This is the shower curtain that we registered for at Bed Bath & Beyond. I think it will go nicely with the blue and white.

Coming Along

Ok...so I feel like all I've done for the past 3 days is paint, eat and sleep. I've actually painted, painted, taped, painted, ate and slept. Anyway, the bathroom and bedroom are done!! The kitchen is in progress but close. I'll hopefully post a few pictures in the next few days. Right now it's off to get a refrigerator and stove!

Here!

Made it to NC!! I'm going to try and blog more so all of you back in the boro can keep up with me. One of the things that has been lost during the move is the charger for my phone. So if you're wondering why I'm not returning your calls...


Our little house! We have a lot of painting and cleaning to do so here are the before pictures.

The kitchen with it's teal cabinets...yes, we are painting them!

This border has to go!

Bedroom


Awful pattern on the bathroom walls

Tiny sink...poor Nathan

Tacky border on the living room walls. Once it's painted the same color as the walls I'm hoping it won't stand out as much.


Guest bedroom=really bad purple explosion

Hallway to the back door and laundry room

Yay for paint!! Can't wait to get started

All Good Things Must Come To An End

It's begun...the packing.


Two and a half years in Statesboro and it's time to move on. A lot has happened in the last two and a half years and especially in the last six months. I'm about to start a new chapter in my life and it's exciting and a little sad. Charlotte is an awesome city and I'm very excited about moving there and becoming Nathan's wife in November. A few things I'm looking forward to are:

• Trader Joe's
• Harris Teeter, Lowe's Foods and The Fresh Market
• Seasons (i.e. Winter)
• Moving into a house
• Living in the country (again)
• Awesome restaurants
• Things to do (parks, plays, music, art)
• Mountains and all that goes with them (camping, hiking, kayaking, riding the bike)
• Bakery job
• Nathan, Nathan, Nathan

The list could go on and I'm sure it will grow.

Things I will miss about Statesboro:

• My amazing friends and their sweet children
• Trinity Presbyterian
• Being able to get anywhere in 5 minutes
• Sugar Magnolia bakery
• Farmers Market
• Having a salt water pool in my back yard
• My family only being 2 hours away

And I have to post a few things I won't miss about Statesboro

• Awful grocery stores
• Gnats
• No seasons (i.e. Winter)
• Very limited restaurants
• Limited outdoor activities
• Living in the same house as Jordan Barnes

I know it won't really hit me that I'm leaving for good until I'm actually gone. Probably after being in Charlotte for a week I will realize that I'm just up for a visit that I'm actually there to stay. Statesboro will always hold a special place in my heart. It's where I became a chef, joined a strong church family, made my closest friends and fell in love with my Nathan. Exciting changes like these are always bitter sweet.
