Can I get an AMEN! And, an "It's about time!"

Ok, after 17 days of negotiating, we finally have received the paperwork on our new home. Who would have thought it would take this much time.

We will take possession on August 6th now and will begin painting as soon as we can after that. We are still trying to decide when to move, either before or after school starts August 19th. Our apartment is only 10 minutes away and school starts at 8:30 so we will be good if we need to commute for a couple weeks. I would like very much to not have to live in paint like we did on Robinhood. And, as you can see from the photos of the house, it needs much paint. (sorry about the duplicates)

We also need to add a master closet so we will be gathering bids for that in the next couple weeks also. We plan to go out the back of the master bath and re-arrange a few things to make it all work.

We will be ready for visitors this fall, so book your flight and let us know when you wish to visit. Remember, we have REAL FALL in Ohio....changing leaves and everything. Halloween is a school holiday if there is a Grandparent, Aunt or friend wishing to visit and help with costumes and trick-or-treating!!!!

We are feeling very blessed to have gotten such a great house for such a great deal. It is a dream for Kipper and I to have a house like this. The girls are equally excited. I will now spend much time looking over paint chips and arranging furniture in my head and on paper. We will actually have too much for this house, unlike Tulsa where we had room for all our chairs. But most of the main and important items will have the perfect place. We will also have at least one Queen Guest bed and another twin, so come on!!!

Until closing July 31st, that is the last house update!!!

AMEN AGAIN!!!
