next step

Why why why has it been so long since I have updated or posted anything?! I would love to blame it on fun vacations and lots of down time spent with hubby and friends. 
Truth is --- {{drum roll please}}---  WE BOUGHT A HOUSE! So all that "down time" lately has been spent packing, picking out paint colors, and preparing our "plan of attack" for the house :D It truly is very exciting (or at least I am telling myself that as it's very overwhelming too). This is a totally new step for my hubby and I to take. 
Closing on the house and moving will be this week (crossing our fingers)!!! It really has been one roller coaster of a ride during the last three months - picking a house, working with the realtors, many hours spent dealing with the bank and SIGNING OUR NAMES 100,000 times- {ok.. exaggeration a tiny bit, but still felt like it}.
The best part about this house is that almost every room needs a facelift. Which means lots of neat ideas floating around in this little head of mine. Thank goodness for the internet, including pinterest.com (if you haven't seen this site yet check it out------> here!
My goal (cough cough.."goal") is to have this blog devoted to "BEFORE & AFTERS"of the house so that I can keep track for myself (memories to look back on later) and to share with you! :) 
Stay tuned for lots of posts about our long haul of house projects :)


catch up with you later - (sooner than last time, I promise)
