Lots going on…
Okay, sorry I’ve been posting like nuts in the last few days (keeping my sanity while living at m&d’s). You can find this weeks Blogging Beauty edition and my Wordless Wednesday below this.
Since last Wednesday we have acquired what looks very much like a house : ) Last week, this…
And this week…
They are hopefully going to finish sheeting the roof in the next 2 days and then I’ll be in need of some roofers! Anyone know any? Anyone? Ha, ha, that’s a joke because all three of the men in my family (dad, 2 brothers) are roofers. The last time we needed a roof done (on our garage) it took 6 months to get it…not even joking…built it in October, roofed in April). I’m hoping this time they are a little quicker about it, especially since it’s a house, not a garage. My dad had left our garage to my brothers to take care of it and I think they thought we were expecting it as a freebie because we’re family and they decided it wasn’t priority (wouldn’t you think family would be priority?). When they found out we were going to pay them to do it, it got done in a week…money’s thicker than blood, I suppose.
Anyway, I digress. That front left window is Ella’s bedroom and the one beside it is Aidan’s. Then is the front door set back and the garage. Our bedroom is directly behind Ella’s (across a hall). Then is the living room in the middle and to the right is the dining and kitchen with the laundry room and garage entry directly behind the garage. It’s going to be a cute house. I keep wanting to call it little because of some of the large-ish houses in the development, but it is 1500 sq ft. The house we just moved out of was 1250. Ten years ago, 1500 sq ft was HUGE. I always hoped one day I could live in a house that was that big. Now it’s just a “nice little house” to me. My goodness, my perceptions have changed. Must keep myself grounded and remembering where we’ve been and how far we’ve come. This house is such a blessing and we are very excited to be building it. I’m having tons of fun getting all my ideas in order and planning and designing…YIPEE!!! Hopefully more pictures of progress every week.
And I guess you can all tell now that I’m a Canadian since I haven’t said anything about Thanksgiving : ) But I want to wish all my American buddies a very, very happy Thanksgiving. Eat lots of turkey for me, okay? And maybe just one slice of pumpkin pie…but it has to have LOTS of whipping cream on it…mmm…whipping cream…
I’m the first to comment —- woo-hoooo!
