« BEST WRINKLE CREAM REGARDLESS OF YOUR AGE | Main | Planning A wedding »

A friend of mine is getting married in the summer and her and her fiancé are also building a home! It's really exciting but I also think that it is extremely stressful for her to be planning a wedding, starting a new job (yay for her!) and worrying about building the house and when it will be ready and decorating it and making it a home.

She does have a wedding planner (and her crazy mom) to help her. But I think the fact that she just graduated a year ago and got engaged and is now starting her dream job is a little overwhelming. I can't imagine what it would be like to be on your own, go to class at random times and hang out with your friends and then be thrown into a 8-5 job an hour away and be engaged with responsibilities (that clearly come with perks) but still it can be stressful and exciting in an exhausting way I can imagine. Thankfully though she is using Schumacher homes to do her house. She told me and almost everyone else I know that Schumacher homes has been so great and helpful and really been straight up with her about everything including reality with the building and pricing (which is something that you don't hear very often with home building and estimates). So it really is a relief to her that she can just tell them what she likes and wants and they are open and honest with her about how the whole process works and is going (and she said she even hangs out with the guys and that they're really nice and friendly).

I think her favorite part about the house is that she gets to start all new with decorating (as opposed to buying a home from someone else) and make everything her own. They are buying all new furniture and framing black and white pictures of them, family and friends for the living room and hallways which is so cool.

Hearing her talk about the whole process is really cool. It kind of makes me excited to grow up (even though I'm really in no hurry ha). But just to hear that it isn't just bad after graduation and people don't always miss the going out every night and drinking and having little responsibility and that being a grownup can be fun too.
