A sneak peek....

We are moved in and starting to see beyond the cardboard! I love NOT hauling groceries and 3 children up 3 flights of stairs! In fact I turned in the keys today and I was so excited to say good bye forever (I hope) to apartment living. I can't help but to think how very blessed I am! It was quite a chore to move out of the 3rd floor, mostly just time consuming wating for the elevator! We are so blessed with great friends that came and helped us. THANK YOU GUYS!!
Last week we painted almost our entire house! The people that lived here before us patched the walls with the wrong color of paint in almost every room! ( Very Annoying) And yes they really did have one wall that was magenta. The entire living room was grey! Did I mention they loved sponge painting as well.... Needless to say I have had my fill of painting for quite a while, we even painted the vaulted ceiling!! I can say this is one of the few homes that we looked at, that didn't have "MT" blue paint, somewhere on the premises. Can you guess what color we painted......just kidding.
Here are some of the before pictures. And again my camera doesn't do them justice, you will just have to believe me it really was magenta!

Our new house!

Bad news grey walls and sponge paint job (yuck)

Magenta Be GONE!! ( the primer)

I will post some "After" pictures as soon as I find the camera.......

Can't catch my breath

We are still alive in "Hannah Montana" ! I can't believe I have posted nothing since Father's Day! Life has been so crazy, more details to come, but we just purchased our very FIRST home on Friday!! We are so excited and I promise I will post more. But for now we are frantically trying to get the ENTIRE inside of the house painted by this Friday. (Magenta just wasn't working for me!:) Anyway I promise to catch up on all our crazy adventures very soon! But for now visions of paint and empty boxes that need to be filled are taking over my thoughts!!!
