Finally.......THE HOUSE!

Okay, so I didn't blog for 3 months. Some people would really try to not make excuses, but I'm not one of those people. I have plenty of excuses. And here they are in chronological order:

End of school year
Closed on our house
Daughter visit for 5 weeks
Grandpa visit for 7 days
Started a new bible study
Got a new dog
Nephew visit for 7 days

So there they are and they are perfectly viable excuses. What do you mean all those excuses didn't seem to stop me from checking my facebook on a daily basis? Facebook really only requires a few minutes at a time and is much easier to check than to conjure up the brain power to write out a heartfelt and witty blog entry. So, all that aside, I know you're dying to hear about my house!

It's a 1918 American Foursquare style house. 4 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, 2-story, hardwood floors in most of the rooms, original woodwork (as far as I know), and we absolutely love it! We closed on June 12 and got all the stuff moved over on June 20. Here's some pics:

This was back in February when our offer was accepted.





Some of the inside: (I'll post more once I take some that have my furniture in it. Most of the ones I have are of when we first looked at it.)







And here is a little before and after in my kitchen:

I actually have a few more things to blog about, but it is just getting too late. Maybe I can conjure up some sort of miraculous consistency and actually blog again this week!
