LET THE FUN BEGIN

Christmas was all wrapped up and ready to go just in time to buy a house last week. Closing is exactly one week away. We can't wait. The plan is to load the kitchen in the car and then unload it into cupboards, then come back for the closets while Carl is at work. Hopefully by the time he gets home mostly only furniture and boxes of stuff that goes in the furniture will be left.

We ran into a great house for a wonderful price in an excellent neighborhood, in a town with a good reputation, just in the nick of time. The house has just been remodeled top to bottom, so we won't need to even paint. YAY! Everything is working out so well for us. We are very grateful. I wish I had a picture of the kitchen to post. Its my favorite part!

Now we just have to organize, declutter and pack one more time. We plan to stay in this house for A LONG TIME.

Jamie, that is so cool! I'm definitely jealous. What a crazy/busy time of year to be buying a house...but I definitely want to see pictures once you're in and settled.
Great Christmas present! (do your kids get to stay at the same school?)
