Welcome To Our Blog



Hello Family and friends! I have decided that Jeff and I are so out of touch with a lot of people in our lives, and there's just no excuse for that. So, here's the solution! I'm not exactly new to the blogging world, I have a MySpace, but I've never had a spot that is just dedicated to my thoughts or the happenings in our little life. So please stop by every now and again so you can see how Jeff and I are doing. Jeff might even jump on here from time to time.

We Have Finally Been Approved!

Whew! After 6 long weeks of worry, we can finally breathe easy. All of our paperwork went through, and we will get the keys to our very own home on June 23! That's not even two weeks away! I can't even tell you what a relief that is. We are both so happy and excited. We were starting to feel like we were going to live with Rick and Gloria forever. We have a meeting with the seller tomorrow so she can show us how to work the sprinkler system.....we have a sprinkler system! This whole thing just blows my mind! I didn't think that we were going to be approved for our loan, so I had pretty much said goodbye to this house.

I'm so glad that this chapter is finally coming to a close. We have so many ideas for this house. The first thing on our list is paint. They have cows stenciled in the kitchen, and I don't think they've painted since they bought the house in '91. I can't wait. We've already picked out some colors for the living room and kitchen, but we're still debating on our bedroom and the bathrooms. We're going to steam clean the carpets before we move in as well. We're planning on moving all of our stuff out of storage and into the garage as soon as we get the keys. That way we won't have to pay for another month of storage.

We need end tables, an entertainment center, a dresser (it didn't survive the move to storage), a vacuum, a refridgerator....the list goes on. We even need to restock the entire house with groceries, starting from scratch. Our storage unit couldn't have any food in it, so I think I may have some salt and pepper, but that's about it! Thank goodness Jeff and I don't have to make our first payment for a month or two. We need the extra money!

I'm so happy for you guys! I can remember that feeling of excitement, just barely. It's been 25 years. Take pictures of your progress on the house, and have fun with it.

love,

Mom
