Couple of things today:
Yes, I'm going to actively blog, since Chris is leaving on deployment soon, and I need an outlet to remember my life with my babies, so that I do not feel that everyday is the same!
Also, we are moving soon! Should be signing loan papers TODAY and then in a week or two, we should be getting keys to our new house! I still can't believe Chris decided to do all this right before he leaves for six months, but I'm getting more excited about it, and less nervous. I will be off base, and I'm slightly scared about that, since on base just feels so secure. But it is just a few minutes away from base, and most of the neighborhood is probably military anyways. Hopefully I have some nice neighbors! We are still not sure if we will be able to get all the moving stuff done before Chris leaves on the 30th though, and that's scary! I want to be settled in and have a few days to enjoy our home and my husband before he leaves.
Anyways, our house is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home from the 70's that was bought as a foreclosure in Nov. of last year and completely flipped. Chris wants to buy, flip, and sell houses some day... The kitchen is all new, with pretty wood cabinets, granite counter tops, new black appliances, and linoleum, which Chris would like to replace with tile in the future. The whole house has new carpet, including the dining room, so I will have to find some kind of plastic mat to put under the high chairs; I think I will buy plastic from the craft store, the kind in the roll that could be used for table covers. It will be a lot cheaper than buying a roll-y chair mat from a office supply store, which is what I was going to do originally. The kids' bedrooms are good size, but the master might be kind of cramped. It has a sliding door out to the backyard, which is cool. The living room is an addition, and its enormous! I will probably divide it up into sections: tv section, kids toys section, maybe a table area? It has a large white cabinet in one corner as well. The laundry hook ups are in the garage, which I think is the only thing I don't like, but Chris wants to make a wall and turn that part of the garage into a room for tools on one side and laundry on the other. He also already got me a big piece of carpet to put in front of the washer and dryer.
That better be all for now, since Addison is probably naked and wetting her bed. She didn't wear backwards jammies last night, just Dora ones. lol
