If only I could keep up with life...

Wow..life is so quick!  Time is just flying by in my life... I hear little children do that to life.. they make it go by so fast ...so many precious moments!

My husband and I have had a LONG year trying to find a HOME (not just a "house").  After many, many viewings, dissapointment and frustration, we found our new home.  Our realtor got creative .. there's a family that was living a few doors down from her that had moved away and they were going to rent out their home .. but our realtor asked them if she could do a one-time showing.  They agreed and we got to see the home.  We weren't completely taken right away ... ALL of the walls are white ..it looked so cold in there... but after we started talking about the house ..the visions of what colors we'd paint the walls and the addition we'd add on to the back of the house, etc all started coming together and we just knew ..just knew that THAT was THE home/house!  The home inspection is on Tuesday ...its a newer home so there shouldnt be any problems but we're keeping our fingers crossed anyway!  If the inspection goes well, we should have everything wrapped up within three or four weeks.  Then...it's time to paint and recarpet (I'm anal about having new carpet and not lying on other peoples carpet) and then move in... and then... paint and recarpet our existing home and then put that on the market for sale!   I'm trying to contain my excitement ... I'm a worry wart and wont let myself scream and shout until I have the keys to the house in my hands:)

Beacause of all of the work I have coming up, I will have to hold off on new custom orders. If you have already submitted an order, I will get through it before the move.  Once I get both houses in order and the old one on the market, I can then begin to take custom orders again.  The best part .. is ... I finally get a craft room!!!  Woooohooooo!!   I am so stoked:)   My husband finally gets his three car garage (double deep) for all of his toys.. I think he's pretty excited about it!

Anyway- our lives feel a lot more settled now that the search is over.  House hunting can be emotionally and physically draining and I'm glad we made it through alive (and still married!!).  I'll update the blog again soon :)

Take care!
