OMG, that was a long trip. Traveling with 14 month old twins and two dogs (one of which does not travel well at all!), 7 states in three days. The boys did fairly well but I'm still debating if I should list the dogs on eBay. Our furniture arrives tomorrow and we can finally feel at home after two weeks of being a refugee. Our house is awesome! (pictures to follow) The town is the cutest, prettiest town I've ever seen (again, pictures to follow). We landed this great house and the owner who lives in another state wants us to update it for him, for which he will pay for the materials and out labor. Seriously, it's like all that time in Purgatory...I mean Texas, has paid off. I've already decided that if Jamie has to change duty stations again, I'm not going. Just joking...kinda.
Okay so here is an added feature to my blog. I will blog about the home renovations. And really, who doesn't like a before and after shot? I've already painted 95% of the boy's room. I went with a soft sage green which turned out very nice. However, it now has to stand up top a hideous sea foam green carpet. The carpet will be coming up and wood laminate going down. But for right now it is quite the green room. Wait until you all see the bathrooms...that will be a great before and after pic. How am I going to do all this with 2 toddlers and my husband away for four months??? Well, I'm going to try to do a lot on my own. Perhaps during naps and after the go to bed for the night. But my very handy mother I'm sure will come for a visit during the four month period. I may need help with laying the tile since I'd never done it before and I am scared to put that first one down and that first one, "the keystone" is what the rest of the room is based off of. Scary.
Okay, that is all for now.
I can't wait to see what you do!!
