That's Settled

After two long weeks, we are full steam ahead on The Peach House. We are a little bummed, we didn't get exactly what we wanted, but in the end it was most important for us to 1) get off the roller coaster ride 2) get the house squared away so we can move in!

29 days until we close and I should really be doing more but am not. Story of my life. Chad is getting boxes tomorrow so I hope that will spur me on to get moving here. I did start painting the chair for Charlie's desk today.  I feel like I am spinning my wheels a bit, too. 

It will all work out, right???

31 Days to Closing

Our journey started almost a year ago, with a different house and different plan in mind. But I think this one is better for us, for this time and place. Instead of buying a short sale that was almost inhabitable, we are buying a 30 year old gem that needs some love and updating. 

I hope to learn how to do more things and use different tools. I want to stretch myself and give my husband a break from the heavy lifting. He can bring home the bacon while I replace the lights.   Hopefully. 

This is my place to think out loud, plan, dream and record for posterity.  It is also a chance to sit down and relax before starting up the next project!
