There are quite a few exciting things happening around here, but there is one BIG thing...we're moving :)
We've lived here for nearly 10 years, and I am guessing for about 5-6 of those we've wanted a bigger house. We outgrew this one much more quickly than we expected, but we've stayed much longer than I thought we could. It is literally bursting with our things - there is not a space in it that is not filled with stuff. Toys, books, craft supplies, photo albums, keepsakes, clothes (x6)...and you get the idea. We need more room!
Like I said, we've been looking for quite a while but have found we are pretty darn picky. There are things we need, things we want...but all of which I was likely to trade for MORE room. So, when we found a house that had the garage, off street parking, a non-busy street (right now we live on a state route - ugh!), nice sized yard AND double the living space, we were beyond excited. And even better? This was a foreclosed property, and we got it for way below it's appraised price. We are so excited & should find out in the next few days when we can close on it. It needs some work, but we are also excited about that. I love picking out paint colors, and am looking forward to new flooring, etc. I will be sure to take some before and after pictures to share.
Such an exciting new journey...
How exciting! If you have some leftover excitement after you finish painting, come help me finish painting mine. I was so excited to do all the painting when we moved in, and then that excitement fizzled. We have a lot of half painted rooms, and have lived here two years now, lol!

HOW EXCITING!!!!!!! (I know what you mean about outgrowing your house more quickly than you imagined...yeah, us, too!!! LOL) Can't wait to hear about paint and all that fun stuff. It is fun to pick that kind of stuff out!
