It's Really Happening

After not having our own house for nearly a year now, it's weird to think that so very soon we'll have to be responsible adults again. Living with parents hasn't been all bad you know. In fact, if it was just the two of us, we probably could swing it a few more months until moving out of town. But as it is, 2 adults + 4 kids + 4 kids' toys all in 2 bedrooms = some pretty crowded living space. So we found a house.

It's dog ugly right now. Let's just get that out of the way, because we don't want anyone thinking we have that kind of taste in counter tops and bathtubs and linoleum. Trust us, though. It's going to be classy.

Our closing date is less than a week and a half away, but our work will start before that. It actually already started today when John dug up some ugly rose bushes. He had some nerve not taking before and after pictures of the first project - sorry. He will be severely reprimanded.

In the days to come you can have many sleepless nights looking forward to before and after pictures, how-to (according to us and our handy man "Fernando") videos, and many sleep-inducing edge-of-your-seat-exciting tales of demolition and construction woes. Woohoo! It's going to be great. Off to look at door knobs.......
