Garage Days

Have been spending every free moment preparing for a garage sale.  The house is a complete mess with boxes unpacked everywhere so we can organize & tag all the sale items.  Wish us luck!

MOVING DAY!

No, I'm not moving into the house yet... That won't happen for a while.  However, we did move all my things out of storage so I don't have to pay storage rent.  Next is the garage.  There are some misc. boxes & furniture remaining in the garage that can be moved to the house.  We plan on doing this super fun activity tomorrow afternoon.  What a way to spend the first 70 degree day, right?  I can hardly wait & I'm sure he feels the same way.

We did start moving non-essential items like extra blankets, books, office supplies, movies, etc.  The little things around the house that rarely get used.  Everything will be sorted in to keep & sell piles so we can have a garage sale this summer... 

When will we finally move to the new house?  Who knows.  Probably not til some time this summer.  We still have a lot of work to do like wallpaper removal & painting.  Feel like helping just let us know.  Now I'm off to paint a bookcase for the boy's room & color with sidewalk chalk.  I'll be sure to take pics of the bookcase & post another day...

Making a House your Home!

Well, between the the new House purchased in late November, the engagement, and wedding plans, We have been very busy! Slowly but surely, my Fiance, the twins, and I have been making this house our home. I have to admit, it's been a never-ending work in progress! I've had a condo, and townhouse, but this is my first experience owning a single family dwelling. No regrets though, I'm up for the challenge. At times it can be hard work, but at the same time it's fun. All of the daily& weekly projects from painting to cleaning carpets, etc.

Even though the house was built in 1980, it has a lot of upside, with many new updates. It has a great location along with major investment potential. It will be a great home for our family to grow into over the years. I can't wait until her and the boys are able to move in for good, and we all can be under the same roof finally. People say that I'm crazy, and that I should enjoy my freedom while it lasts! I'm ready for it, am I crazy? Maybe a little, Hm-mm... crazy in love that is! I'm very excited, and looking forward to this transition, and it puts a smile on my face just thinking about her and the boys, and our future family endeavors.
