Friday!!!

rain rain go away, my house needs to get painted today

They started power washing the house yesterday, had to do two rounds of it. Unfortunately it is raining like cats and dogs here so they won't get to scrape the paint off or start the actual painting. Bummer.

Yep, we did it

Travis and I bought a house. We don't officially close on it until September 12th, but we have already started picking out paint colors and are trying to arrange our furniture. We closed on the current house we are in on Monday and will be moving out Sept 4th....."where are we going to stay?" you ask...my parents are letting us move into the basement for that week before we close....hopefully our cat & dog won't wear out the welcome too early that week! We are having the house painted this Thursday (to help with the appraisal and insurance). The house is definitely one you would drive by, the exterior paint is rough looking and dirty, but the inside isn't in that bad of shape. The owners just painted a latex based paint over an oil based paint and it is peeling like crazy. That happened in our current house too so we are used to it. The only problem this time is I can not be around the fumes to help paint (darn!). I guess the whole house will have to be painted (atleast with the oil based primer) before I can move in. That will probably take a few days so I won't be moving in until probably the 17th. On a little side note, something else we have to look forward to this September is our 19-20 week ultrasound.....we get to find out if it is a boy or a girl!!

bathroom 

Master bedroom....(before paint & all rooms have seller's furniture) 

Baby's room (before we painted...color to be determined after Sept 19th ultrasound) 

Guest bedroom (before paint) 

Dining room (again, before paint) 

Living room, before we move in or paint 

Yep, Travis & I bought a house. This is the house BEFORE we paint.

For those who didn't read the riddle below....I am pregnant!! Our little belly bean is due February 8, 2006. Doesn't look like i will be much help in the moving process when we finally find a house!

SOLD!

We sold our house!!!

Now we just need to find something to move in to!! This is the really hard part. There are not a lot of houses thatwe like and have what we want in our price range. I am not giving up though!

DMB concert

Well, My hubby, his friend David & I just got back from the Dave Matthews Band concert in Columbus, Ohio. It was on Tuesday, but we stayed over night and came back yesterday. It was a great concert! This was the first concert I have been to that when I left I wasn't partially deaf for a while. The song was wonderful, but maybe because it was an ampitheater it didn't keep the sound around you the whole time...I don't know. DMB played for a long time..... Well, I need to go because I have a lot of work to do. I have been off all week from work so it is kind of backing up on me!!

The other half of the rainbow. 

Beautiful rainbow that appeared after an evening storm tonight.  

This is it

NO MORE! I am finished fixing things and updating things on this house. It is officially on the market (as of May 11th). Travis just finished the front porch and the back porch. No more...I am not putting anymore money into this house. The houses around us are selling for $10,000 more than our house and we have more square feet and a bigger yard. It is time for us to save the money for us to put down on our next house instead of putting it into this one that we are selling.
Ughh.....I am so tired tonight....I am heading to bed early I think. It has been a busy day! Didn't go to work (took annual leave) and went with Travis to his doctor's appointment...picked out his new glasses and waited on the, went to the grocery store and cleaned the house...it is being shown to the realtors tomorrow at my Mother In-laws office (she is also our real estate agent). Anyhoo....I am tired so I am heading to bed. Good night!

Happy Mother's Day

I know I am a little late to wish all the mothers on the internet a Happy Mother's Day, but I wasn't late to wish mine. We (meaning my sisters & their kids) all met over at my parents' house and had dinner, talked, played with the kids and gave Mom her gifts (flowers that she wanted for the yard...climbing rose bush..etc).
I hope everyone had a great day and again, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY
