moving day
(this is my "driving by the house trying not to be too obvious as i take a picture" picture of the house...so you can't see everything)..but here it is...
FINALLY! we are moving into our house! we went by there yesterday to check it out again and ask questions, see all of the things we need to do to keep the house up, etc. etc...I had so many questions when we left the first time we saw the house, but (of course) i forgot most of my questions by the time we visited again. They did put a door up, though..none of the rooms have doors really because the family didn't really see the need for them. But Judah's room will be closed off to the living room. Will still be able to see our room, though, but once we (eventually) get a new bed frame, it won't be so awful to look at. There were some things that I would like to change, but I'm not sure if we'll be able to, since we are renting and all. we got a killer deal, so it kind of makes up for everything that may be "unlikeable"--i just wish i could do some painting and change some fixtures. The light in Judah's room is ancient/antique looking, and as much as i want to keep it (if i were to do judah's room in an antique cowboy theme), I kinda want to get rid of it as well. and i have to think about the fact that if we do have another kiddo down the road, i'll have to think about how to make the room work for both of them. there is the office/bedroom that we could use if we had to, though. i still don't know what i'm going to do with that. probably an office with a futon couch in there incase we have someone come stay with us. I'm just not a fan of paneling, and they still have a bunch of that randomly throughout the house. like the livingroom is pretty big, most of it being white, but then the one wall that the tv is on looks like some paneling/wood wall. i can make that work. I JUST WISH I COULD PAINT!!! that would solve so many of my "issues." It's not a modern house at all, but it's cozy, homey, kinda like your grandma's house, and that is fine with me. I think they said that it was a super small house when they first bought it, but then they added on what is now the kitchen and then the other half of the living room. Originally, it was a four room house..that's why the rooms are kind of odd. But i like it. It's charming, and i think we'll be able to make it work with time. We are hopefully going to get new furniture soon, so that will help (at least when we have people by to visit), and then after that will probably come a new bedroom set. Judah will get his new toddler bed for Christmas, so he'll be good to go. And we'll keep the crib for the future. And I forgot to mention the kitchen and little add-on they've been working on. The kitchen has brand new everything (they just put in new wood floors through the entire house!) and granite countertops. I'll probably change the curtains. I'm not a fan of green, but I can't remember what the walls are, so if they are green, I'll just get my own pattern so i can feel like the house is mine. and the add-on indoor patio is connected to the kitchen and it's like a little breakfast room that will be weatherproofed to the outside and leads to the backyard, which, by the way, is INCREDIBLE!!! anyone's dream yard!! firepit, man cave, garden, apple trees, view of the rolling hills and surrounding horse farms.......heaven. They're still working on a few last minute projects before we move in and they move out. Lots to think about and prepare for...But all of that said, I am very excited. One more month EXACTLY and we'll be able to move! I can't wait to be in a place all to ourselves! and it's out in the country...yes, i still have my mixed feelings about that, but overall i'm super happy. we are near everything that we need, and we'll be in Lexington most every day anyway, so it's not like we are completely away from civilization. But.....we MAY just be able to get a "guard" dog that can stay outside and scare people away. I've always wanted a big dog. Maybe we can actually go through with it!! ;) i'm so happy right now...if only the boxes would pack themselves and be moved and waiting for us once we get there....
