The anticipation is killing us!

Saturday we did a lot of dreaming. Since I've been obsessing over the HGTV channel (and Scott too secretly) we decided to go to Lowes. But before we did, I wanted to look at some stores like Bed Bath and Beyond and Pier One to get some ideas of colors and styles that I like. Here is just a taste of what I picked out.

All of these I like the color and patterns, maybe not so much of what it is, like this chair.

When we got to Lowes, we went to every single department. We looked at different flooring, tiles, sinks, paint, hardware, tools, lawnmowers....everything! It was a really fun "date" with Addilyn in our shopping cart looking around at all the tall shelves and lights. We talked about what we want to do in our house and when we would do them.

Our date also included going to BabiesRUs where they were having their big sale. All I'll say is Addi is one stylish girl. We went to ChefSmart which is our newest favorite place to shop. They have to put a sign out that says it's open to the public. It's AMAZING. Our kind of place- bulk bulk bulk! And chef quality cookware at a steal of a price. It's where you go to shop for a wedding or ward party :)

We then went to the Grecian Corner. To. Die. For. It was recommended to us by another couple. We ordered the classic Gyro. Wow! It was heavenly. It is seriously in the most ghetto building, under an overpass. The waitress has been there for 15 years, she sat down with people who came in just to chat. The tzatziki recipe was the owner's grandma. Total hole in the wall, which screams authentic. Their lamb is out back rotating on a skewer all day and they just cut slices off to put in their food. Anyone who comes to visit us here, we will take you here your first night. AH so good.

After our feasting, we went on a walk around the Reynolda village. In past posts I said it was an old plantation. Well, I was wrong! It's actually J.P. Reynold's old place- the cigarette/tobacco king. It's massive! And very beautiful. This was from one of the many walking trails.

Here are some other photos from the past week:

Addilyn ready for church. It was her first time wearing shoes!

Going out for a walk. She has the cutest cheeks and she loves to watch where we are going.

Evidence that Cabo has been there.

Sleeping while covering her eyes...just like her mom.

For an update on the house, Scott went with the inspector last Thursday. Of course there are some updates that need to happen, but overall the house is in awesome condition! Now we just need the sellers to agree to fixing a few things and get it appraised. So excited!!!
