CLOSING TIME!




Nope not talking about the "one last call for alcohol", I am talking about our NEW HOUSE!!!!

We close on May 14th! Two weeks early at the request of the sellers. No reason not to, so we agreed!

Last night we made a list of the "stuff" we have to get done before we move in and the "stuff" that can or will have to wait until we are in and have more cash flow! ;)

I am excited to paint and decorate and make it our own. Right now the living room has quite possibly the most horrendous wall paper I have ever seen and there is a painted on rose vine throughout the house in random places. It is UGLY!!! So I have chosen some nice new paint colors with the help of Tiff, Mom and Patti and we will be painting every room in the house before we move in! YAY! Also getting painted are the dark cabinets in our tiny kitchen. Because everyone knows painting them a lighter color will open it up!
Graham's room will be a light blue with a green stripe all the way around it
Our bedroom is going to be a tanish/brown color I think.
The kitchen and living room will be two shades of "celery" green.
The downstairs family/day care room- is getting a coat of a very happy yellow and eventually some Dr. Suess character stencils on the walls.
The bathrooms I haven't thought about yet!
Also have two more bedrooms to think about as well!
Any suggestions anyone????

There will be a big 'ol cookout house warming party when we are all settled. I am thinking July at least. :) Keep ya posted on all the "work" going on as it happens! Thanks for all the well wishes!
