I’m home! Jer and I ended up staying here yesterday night already because we had moved all our stuff and we didn’t want to leave it here unattended. The girls stayed at mom and dad’s for night so that when we got up today I could just get to work. I worked all morning on putting the girls rooms together because I wanted them to get here and feel like they had their own special space. So I vacuumed, cleaned walls, baseboards, windows and doors. Put up blinds and curtains. Set up their beds with their new bedding and their canopies. Oh so sweet. They squealed with delight when they got here in the afternoon and saw their rooms : ) That was worth everything.

I’m squealing in delight cause I got my HIGH SPEED internet back!!! And because of my new kitchen, which is probably one of my most favorite things about my house. Okay, here’s a peak at my absolutely incredible kitchen…happy, happy, very happy sigh…

Last time I put up a picture it looked like this…

and now…

The fridge is just a loaner because ours isn’t in yet (it’s black like the rest of our appliances). The light fixture that has been my pride and joy. It was the first thing I picked for the house and I LOVE it (notice I got a matching dining room chandelier? I searched the internet until I found something that matched…it matches exactly. Same crystals and design by 2 different companies.)

So that’s my happiness right now. I’m going to put my bedroom together in the next couple days and then I’ll put pictures up.

I have one or two more boxes to unpack in the kitchen. Tomorrow I’ll be putting clothing away, cleaning the last bathroom (everything else is clean…yay), and hanging the pictures. I have to put up 2 more curtains and then it will be all cozy in here. I love my house. Back to unpacking…
