Anyway, after we got the okay to pick paint colors and have the painters come and paint, they came literally the next day to start their work! YAY! I dont remember how much I mentioned before, BUT we could only pick 2 colors so we went with White Raisin and Show Stopper. White Raisin is in the entire apartment, except the man room/office. It's a bit much in EVERY room, but it's WAY better than white, so I am content :D We got that painted Show Stopper (red, of course :D) It looks SO GOOD! They are finishing up the apartment today. I will be SO glad to put the apartment back together :D It stresses me out when it's so unorganized and messy! The trim is all white, we were going to paint it another color ourselves since they wont, BUT we really liked the way the white looked with it and decided to keep it. The painters had already painted the living room and hall baseboards White Raisin, so I got them to leave me a bucket of their white and John and I painted them back this weekend.
John and I started to get really excited because out place looks so much more homey now! That and my family will be coming soon, so we really want to get the place looking nice! We made a long to do list before we leave. haha. Anyway, Saturday we ended up going shopping for some knick knacks to go on our shelves in the living room- I still want to change them some, but the decorations are fine for now. We also went and purchased electrical covers for all of the rooms. haha. I doubt the University would and they were driving us crazy! Not only are they different colors, but the painters didnt remove them when they painted- so there is paint all over them. The covers were not expensive (probably shouldnt have spent that money anyway, but oh well). The clean covers make me much happier. haha.
We ended up painting on Saturday night, until pretty late- but I wanted to get it finished so we didnt have to worry about it Sunday.
Our plan on Sunday was to knock a lot of our to do list out. We ended up sleeping in pretty late and went and laid out for a little while. We just went to the volleyball courts since nobody is here. We figured that would save time and we only wanted to be out for a little. This Miami heat is NO JOKE though! We were only out there for 20 minutes and were both very dehydrated and dizzy. It was not good! never again without LOTS of water! haha Or we will just go use the pool (we would have but we have to pay for John). Anyway, we took a shower and hung out some (remembering that this was probably the last day we would have to just chill with just each other before we go home and then during our entire trip) it was really nice.
We also had decided to not go out to dinner for our anniversary since we were going to be spending so much money going home. Not only that, but we had bought some t-bone steaks when they were on sale and were planning on eating those and celebrating our anniversary on our anniversary. We also figured we would be able to get a lot done in the apartment if we didnt go out. WELL, plans change. haha We had a Groupon for a place called Smoke-T Southern Kitchen and Tap. We figured we would go during their happy hour and get a few drinks and an appetizer since we already had the gift certificate. We thought it would be nice to do a little something after all.
WELL, it started POURING!!! We had a small umbrella in the car and John came and got me with it. We only had to go about 20ft, but we both got SO wet. I laughed the whole time. it was so much fun :D We ended up ordering a few drinks and getting an appetizer and then learned that the gift certificate didnt work for drinks during happy hour and since we had to spend all $25 in one trip, we ended up getting a meal to split for later at home :D We ended up playing some pool and Foosball :D We LOVE that place! It's pretty southern for here and has such a great atmosphere! We even drank from mason jars :D It's our new favorite restaurant down here :D And really what is more fitting for John and I to go to a southern restaurant for our anniversary :D LOL! Since we had the gift certificate it didnt end up being that expensive either, so YAY for a cheap, but amazingly fun anniversary date!!! AND we'll still get to celebrate Tuesday :D
We also ended up going across the street to our other favorite bar- Titanic. We got one of our favorite beers and just talked for a long time :D Then we headed home to take care of the pups and watch more True Blood! (yes, we are watching the entire series again before season 4 starts :D) We had such a good time. It was a MUCH needed date for us and I enjoyed it so much :D I am SUCH a lucky woman to have such an amazing husband :D
Needless to say we got NOTHING done around the apartment after all, but that's okay :D Like I said, it was much needed and we had TOO much fun to care :D
Anyway, pictures of the apartment will be up soon! Our last two pieces of furniture should come this week too! YAY! Now we just need to pick art out still. haha
AND, Of course I didnt get many pictures of our date, but here are two!
Our mason jars!
My silly hubby :D
