Here it is... our first "home."

I'll make this brief because I should be packing but needed a break. So we're in the middle of the long and at times overwhelming process of renovating our new home so we can move into it. Now you see, this will make our tenth move in the almost six years of marriage. This is the first time we feel like we are moving into our "home". Very big deal for us. (I should capitalize that to emphasize just how significant it is to us) VERY BIG DEAL FOR US. (There, that's better.) We purchased our townhome as a short sale. It was left as is. Now it was not as horrendous as you might imagine, or like I might exaggerate at times. However, since this was our new house we really wanted to make it "Our Home" by adding our touch. Since we've purchased our home we've ripped out the carpet on all three levels, and removed the lynolium (ugh!) in the kitchen and bathroom, primed THE ENTIRE HOUSE, then PAINTED the ENTIRE house and baseboards, put new wood flooring in the kitchen and dinning room, tiled the entry, front closet and front bathroom, installed new lighting, new door handles, and blinds, and we are patiently (hm huh?) waiting for our new carpet to be installed on Thursday so we can move in of Saturday. Needless to say, this has been a lot of work! However, some people don't know that I use to watch Bob Villa with my Daddy-o on Saturday mornings growing up, AND I am a die hard fan of HGTV. So this has basically been a dream come true. Now I know what you are thinking, cause I would be thinking the same thing. Okay, so you can talk (type) a lot of work, WHERE's the pictures? I promise there will be pictures coming. Probably next week sometime. I've got a lot of packing and unpacking to do.
