this weekend was a very productive one. my mom and i headed to the delta after work on friday. we met my mom's sister's family & my kevin for dinner and then had drinks around a bonfire. saturday morning we were up rather early to go look at houses for kevin & i (he had to work and missed all the fun :( ). the first house we looked at was H.U.G.E. for 2 people. i would have lost kevin...and most definitely lost FJ! despite the "bigness", something was just off...it was DARK..really dark. and the carpet was much older than i prefer, plus...no fenced in yard for the princess. So, to the 2nd house we went. I must admit, at this point, my hopes were pretty crushed. we had our hearts set on that big house...but i just couldn't live with the inside, and it definitely wasn't move-in ready. when we got to the 2nd house, my spirits were immediately lifted. IT HAS A RED FRONT DOOR! if you know me, you know that i absolutely ADORE red front doors. there's something just so inviting and friendly about a red front door (promise, that's the last time i'm going to use the phrase "red front door" in this post!). Anyways, we went inside and i fell in love! it has light hardwood floors, and khaki walls with white trim...and LOTS of windows! so there is LOTS of natural sunlight coming in. it has a fenced in backyard for the princess and the kitchen is FABULOUS! it's newly remodled with new appliances and fabulous countertops. the living room is huge (and i can't wait to fill it with all new furniture...when money allows..). the bedrooms are nice sized and i've already picked out which will be our bedroom, our guest room and our office. the ONLY downfall to this home is that it only has 1 bathroom...but it's not teensy tinsy, and we will make it work. overall, for our first house, i think we should be proud of it...and it will make a wonderful first home for us. i can't wait to get in there and clean clean clean and really make it ours. :) so...if anyone is around on saturday and wants to help us move...feel free! the tentative schedule is as follows:
