In 3 weeks, we will be moving into this house. Something I have wanted for a long time. It is hard to wait when we are so ready to go. I'm a doer- I don't sit and wait well. In the time we have to wait, we have been over there several times, to look at this or measure that. And it struck me that this is possibly the blandest house ever. Beige carpet, walls, brick and white trim on the outside. Except for the trees - they are awesome to a girl from Lubbock. The kitchen is a good size but pretty ugly. It is kind of sad to think about someone living in such a boring house. So I got to thinking about painting and hardwood floors and I decided this house needs us. It needs a new family to add life and noise and laughter and color. And that makes me happy. I can see the kids sliding down the stairs and crashing at the bottom. I can see them playing soccer with the dog. They are planning on painting their rooms and putting up posters of the things they love. Mike will be in the shop making new cabinets and loving it and I will be reading or cooking a ribeye on the grill. I am not moving into someone else's house. I am moving into a house that needs some help and that feels like a good thing for us.

from my perspective the best thing about this house is the close proximity to my house...:)
I am so happy for you guys, and for me!
i really, really like the yard. I want to come over and decorate the whole thing...although the kitchen is a million times better than an apartment kitchen. At least the cabinets aren't brown. :-)
Seriously, though...I could send you a million suggestions if you want.
I'm so excited for you! It's absolutley beautiful! And I can't wait to see what you do with it and the transformation from turning into a house and making it a home.
