  I was already in my early to mid twenties when "High School Musical" came out, so I think I missed the Efron Fangirl Train. I was in high school when "Titanic" came out, so...
  

  
  Not a big fan of Leo anymore, but damn, he was IT in the 90's!

  Ok, that screaming thing in Iceland is hilarious. I feel like I could get on board with that. 
  
  Also, Zac Efron is life. I've seen so, so many awful movies just because he's in it and I have zero regrets. I watch The Lucky One on mute just for the eye candy. His new Netflix series is on my list but I feel like I need to watch it when DH isn't around so he doesn't have to watch me drool.

  @inthewoods23 that car is beautiful! 😍
  
  I finished my main floor vanity project today! 😍 started working on the master bathroom and I may move into our bathroom when it’s done. I just LIVE the color so much. Photo of the main floor. I’ll post the master bath when I get it 100% finished.

  Thanks ladies! Unfortunately we already found a paint issue on the driver's side. Looks to be slightly peeling along the edge with the window trim so we have to submit a service request within 24 hours of taking delivery. Thankfully we do have a Tesla service center 10 minutes from our house! So no more long drives into IL, but I'll probably be without the car for a day. Not that I would mind a drive into IL because it's a drive I've done many times having family in the Chicago area.
  
  Wish I could take y'all on a cruise in it
