So, have you all been wondering what is going on?!!
It just so happens that the PT house HAS in fact moved, and ARE in fact homeowners!!
YAY!!!
For a while there I wasn't sure it was going to go through. It got right down to the wire, the closing date got pushed back 4 times... FOUR TIMES, and the house's foreclosure deadline got extended twice!! It was most nerve wracking! But the house is ours now and we are all moved (but not settled).
It was a lovely hectic type of moving experience. Hubs and I had help from my Mom and Brother, and Hub's Dad and Great Aunt & Uncle. They were all amazing and worked so, incredibly hard (I didn't have to lift any heavy things! It was amazing!!!!)
We really didn't have time to pack everything.... sooo it was a lot of hurry up and shove!
For the love of Jesus most Holy, I didn't think I had so much stuff!!! It took us 2 whole days to have everything out of the old house and into the new house! We've been recovering ever since.
In fact we've been in the new place for about a month now and we haven't recovered at all. We haven't even painted anything yet! Aaaaaand there are some interesting paint choices from the previous owners. Sherbert lime green (living room) for example, and vivid purple on the bottom and blue on the top (spare room... former kids room). Once I find my camera cord there will be pictures to follow.
Some things that I LOVE about my new house:
~There is NO dish washer... I know you are thinking "What?!!" Yes its true. I like that there is no dish washer. In fact I have a dish washer that is much more eco friendly: HUBS! Honestly its true, he does all the dishes! I like that there is no scum on the dishes from being in the machine, no residue and no food stuck on the dishes. It's great!
~We are next to a cow farm (again, go figure! I don't plan these things) and so it is very quiet and there are lots of trees. Because of this we have a great show of birds at the feeders. Tons of Cardinals, Chickadees, Nut Hatches, Finches, Tufted Titmice, and even Woodpeckers (Downy and Red Bellied), the highlight of my Saturday morning!
~We have a beautiful Sun Room in which Hubs and I (and the cats) can watch the birds and what not! It is even heated so we can enjoy it when the weather is very cold!
~The door to the basement has a cat door on it. It is very cute, and the cats love it. They run away from the dog and turn right around and look at him like "nah nah nah nah, you can't get me!"
~The house is heated with Propane instead of Oil, which is saving us a LOT of money; and the house is smaller so that saves us in money too! PLUS it has a fireplace which I LOVE... it even has a remote to turn it on and off, how cool!!
~We have a huge gigantic pantry. It is amazing!! It is the size of a small powder room, words really can't describe the wonders of this pantry!
The list can go on and on and on. For now I am going to work on getting some more pictures around here. A Blog with no pictures is just sad :-(
