At this moment in time, we are incredibly happy...and scared. We are weeks away from moving into our new house. A multitude of responsibilities awaits us. In our apartment we've never had to mow the grass, trim the shrubs, do pest control, fix things that break, pay the water bill, or pay a mortgage. And now, all that responsibility will be on our shoulders. We love the thought of having a place to call home...a place we can decorate as we want. We'll have space to spread out...space for our family to grow when the time is right. We'll be able to take pride in the fact that we are a part of the American dream...we will own property...ok...in thirty years or so.
Last week we were able to take a peek inside our house. It looks like it's almost done. The light fixtures and socket covers were already up. A dishwasher was waiting to be installed. The shelving was up in the closets. The baseboards, tubs, linoleum, cabinets, windows, and doors are all on. There's not a whole lot left to do.
When I think about moving, I know that we will love our new house. But...We'll have to commute to work which means and even earlier time to get out of bed every morning. The upside is that Rhett and I can travel together. Our working hours are now the same 7:30 -3:30. So he'll just drop me off and pick me up.
We're moving...and I just can't wait to... Invite friends over. We'll have a comfortable place to share. To have family stay with us and know that they will no longer be crowded into our tiny apartment. To watch our cats who won't know what to do with such a big place. It will be so much fun!
These photos are of another house...Not ours, but it is the same floor plan as ours ...Different color though.
