A New House- A New Chapter!

All Posts, Personal

Instead of another tutorial, today I’m just sharing some news with you.  Because we actually did just have Christmas in July! Only not really because we paid for this ourselves instead of receiving it as a gift…

We closed on our new house yesterday!

Yes it is true, though I was starting to think it might never happen.

We’re all kind of exhausted because we were there until 11:00pm putting brown paper on the windows.

We were going to buy a tent and air mattresses and camp out there but Madison is TERRIFIED of spiders (it’s in the woods so there are a lot) and since the house is still empty, it doesn’t feel like home.

She wouldn’t even use the bathroom out at the new house.  We definitely need to get out there with a vacuum before she’ll spend any time out there.

 

So that is my news.  Merry Christmas in July to me

Last week there were very few participants for the link party so I’m thinking that  I’ll just skip that this week, (unless I see  comments stating that news is too disappointing to bear).  Ok?

 

OK,

I am SOOOO ready to get into some projects again…I have my first 5 planned out already!  See you soon!

  1. Sandra long overdue – CONGRATULATIONS! Now we need to see some serious BEFORE pics! Get that garage set up and starting sawing.

    • Thanks Jaime, I can’t wait to share pics. I can’t believe I haven’t even had a chance to take them yet. 100 phone calls and little errands to get ready for move in on Tuesday…

  3. YAY! I wish I had something to link up, but not really. July has kicked my butt and caused a serious lack of crafting.

  4. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

    Every time we’ve moved into a house, my head is always swimming with all the things I’d love to do. Unfortunately, it’s also the time that we’ve used every last dime for closing costs and I’ve got no money to do said projects. CURSES!

    Good luck – we know you’ll transform it into something amazing.

    (no pressure, right?)

  8. Hooray and congrats!!!! We had a big house day yesterday, too, and got final mortgage approval on our soon-to-be new house. Exciting times all around!!

    Have fun with the vacuuming. 🙂

  9. Whoohooo! How exciting for you! It will be fun to see the projects on the new house start.

    Although I’m with Maddie… I hate spiders, and would rather hold it all night than to risk running into one of those in the bathroom.

  14. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait to see the before and definitely after pics.

  15. Why are closings always so dramatic? Glad you finally get your home! My mind too is swimming with a zillion projects. It is a pain that you have to do the actual moving of stuff & unpacking first. 🙂 Good luck! Can’t wait to see pics! 🙂

  19. Congrats on your new house!! It was my dream to move to a home in the country that was already built. However, my husband I still work in town, so we are building a cottage in a suburb. I am so excited for you and look forward to some wonderful before and after pictures!! Those are the best. Hugs, Jan
