They say Thursday...

Is the day that we will get the keys to our house! I am just praying that they are not wrong! I am so excited about getting the keys in my hand!
Richard and I truly have worked so hard for this, not unlike anyone else, so we are very proud of ourselves for making this step in our lives. We have fallin in love with this area so much that we want to raise our kids here...what more can you ask for?

I have to say....I have never been so excited to actually get out the paint brush and get some paint in my hair! I cannot wait till I have my own scraproom and yes it will be in the color PURPLE!! The creative juices will be flowing....

Staircase as you walk in...

All the inspections on Friday went wonderfully!!! Besides one or two broken sprinkler heads there is not a thing wrong with the house! We are so excited about moving, almost the whole house is packed and the poor kids have hardly anywhere to play. They are ok with it since they know if two weeks, they will have their own room and PLENTY of space to play.

Tomorrow is the day..

for inspections at the house we are buying. I am so nervous and excited and stressed and every emotion under the sun.
The home is only 3 years old so I really am not anticipating any problems but you never know. Think positive thoughts for us!

House for us!!

Yep we are buying a house! This process has taken us over two years to get to! We have been looking for a house to buy off and on since we moved here. Prices have been to high, then everything was getting gobbled up, we were outbid, the list goes on and on....but finally we are i contract for a house and are doing all inspections this Friday! We are super excited!

Heres a pic of the outside!!!!

Wish us luck! And now off to pack more boxes..gald I will never have to do that again...told Hubby I was never leaving!!

MMMMM...coffee

Isnt coffee just wonderful?! Put some grounds and water into this lovly maching and Viola! Out comes this inticing aroma and this wonderfully smooth drink....aaahhh and hear that? Silence, yep, love enjoying my coffee in utter silence around me so that I can just sit at my computer drink away and catch up on all my favorite people in cyber space!

A gentle fairwell

to 2008 that is...
It was a year of many changes, challenges and triumph's for this family. Our son graduated from Kindergarten, our daughter was bumped up in gymnastics, my loving husband joined the Army Reserve and I became stronger. I felt a love for my husband so deep that I was amazed by it. It has shaken me to my core and made me so happy.
This year, I have made many new friends and thankfully I have not lost any. My friendship with few has grown stronger and I think of them as my family here. It is amazing how motherhood can allow you to create such an amazing bond with others.
I still think of those that I have lost, those I didnt get to know, those I wanted to know more. I think of my best friends that do not live near me and wish that with the snap of my finger we all can be together again. But there is a time and a place for everything and only God knows why things happen the way they do.
I have hopes for this new year...2009. Richard and I have dreams for this year; ones we feel are worth working hard for and struggling to get!
I pray for those friends of mine that are hurting right now, those that have found their way, those struggling to find an answer & obtain something special to them. I pray for my siblings for they all have a journey of their own they are on, for my parents that they continue to be happy and healthy and for my nieces and nephews that they grow up to understand the love around them and cherish each other.
I wish for my children to continue to grow and amaze me, to understand the love their father and I have for them, and to still love us unconditinally.
For my husband I hope for him continued success at his career, for his advancement in the Army and for him to always feel the love I have for him.
And for me, I pray that all of my wishes and prayer for those I love come true.
May 2009 bring you many blessings, smiles, laughter, and anything your heart is wanting.
