We're in!

So we are finally in our new house!
There was a bit of stress actually getting to move in (due to realtor communication issues, I won't go into that..) but we made it! And now comes the fun part- lots and lots of unpacking.
And cleaning. It was fairly clean when we moved in but they had a cat and there is cat hair everywhere which is totally grossing me out. And the usual deep cleaning and painting. We painted over the ugly purple walls in the master bath with a lovely color of blue that was supposed to match my pretty new shower curtain but dried a bit dark. Oops. I think it will look okay when we get everything up though.
I still can't get in my living room or my bedroom due to all the boxes and such but I am getting there, slowly. I'm taking some "in the process" pics for my scrapbook (I know, I'm a nerd) but when we get all settled in I'll take some before pics. Then I'll post the after pics when we get our house credit $$ back and buy some new furniture and take on a few more home improvement projects. Good times.

my next project..

Look how cute!! I'm so doing this for my kids' new room. Yes, if you haven't heard we are buying a house!! Yay for us! We are so excited and I lay awake at night thinking of all the fun things I want to do to my very own house and this is one of them- the banners (and perhaps the names on the wall). When we get all moved in, I'll be able to keep my sewing machine set up instead of tucked away in a corner so hopefully I'll be able to tackle things like this.
PS. I will post pics of the house as soon as we get in. It's so cute. It's a townhouse but it's like a castle compared to what we're in now. :)

About Me

My photo
My cute little fam consists of me, my partner in crime Dick, and our little monkeys: Karter and Zachary. My sweet, dedicated husband is trying to build my dream life for me. But for the time being, I have two full time jobs- mommyhood and a piece of cake desk job with an awesome boss. We stay super busy but have lots of fun in the process. I've become obsessed with scrapbooking lately. I've done it for years but never really had the time. I still don't but now I have my little scrap cubby that I don't have to clean up for dinner, etc. It makes things much easier and now I can scrap when I have a few minutes. Which is really not that often but I'm grateful for what I have.
