We've moved.......again!!!

Let me start by saying if we never move again it will be too soon!!!! We weren't even really planning on moving, but everything just sort of fell into place. Actually, this was the easiest move ever. We just moved about a block from our old home. The kids are in the same schools and we are closer to the park....just walk through the back gate and you are there! The house is amazing! (double the size amazing!) It is an older home and needs some (lots) of work, but we are getting settled, and slowly but surely making it home! There are three floors. The basement was just finished a couple of years ago, so it didn't need much work. We have spent most of our time on the main floor.....cleaning, stripping wall-paper, patching, painting, new flooring.......doesn't that sound like fun?!?!?! Just a few odds and ends left on the main floor, so on to the upstairs. All of the bedrooms are upstairs. Each of the kids now have their own rooms....this makes bedtime and naptime soooo much better. They are so excited to help mom and dad decorate their rooms! It will be interesting to see what Madi and Braxi pick out. The views from every door and window in the house are AMAZING.....mountains or valleys! B and I have a deck off of our bedroom with beautiful views of the west side of the valley, but it is about 25 feet off of the ground. B just walks all the way out the the edge while I have only worked my way about half way out! (hard to believe I bungee jumped in Mexico!) The backyard has not yet been landscaped, but it has a playground (needs to be refinished) and a trampoline (the kids' favorite new thing!) B is looking forward to landscaping it in the spring!! We have been so blessed to have had this opportunity to move into and live in this house and are excited to keep working on it and making it HOME!!!

Wow, moving is so not fun. But it sounds like it was worth it for you! Congrats on the new house!
