WOW! Who knew all the up-keep a house needs! Especially an older home. We made it to Ardmore and are settling in Cody's cousin's house. It is located in a cute, older neighborhood right near the city. It still has its original hardwood floors, windows, and even a cute swinging kitchen door!
It may sound like a fairy tale (it did to me at first) but yesterday we began to find out exactly what it takes to have a home... Firstly, my sister goes to take a bath and the faucet won't budge, the water woudn't turn off!! So, we call our plumber (who has been here twice already for this silly faucet) and he is supposed to come today to replace some parts. WHEW! Check that off my list...
Then, after my sister and I had unpacked all of my kitchen stuff (food, dishes, etc.) we leave to go to the store, come home and there are those little tiny roaches EVERYWHERE in my kitchen!!!! OHHHH NOOO!! Of course, I freak out & Cody "goes to town" on the roaches, (his phrase for completely demolishing any bug life-form). So, the exterminator came yesterday and now all I see is dead bugs, so I have to sweep & mop every room all over again...
To top it all off, I haven't quite figured out the right temperature to leave the thermostat on, it's either hotter than _____ (you fill in the blank) or cold enough feel yourself shivering!!
Oh the joys of having a home... I'm sure I haven't experienced the half of it, but I'm sure I will. Now, enough of being a procrastinator, I must attempt to find my way around here to apply for a few jobs. Hey, I am from Fort Worth, if I can make it around there, I can make it anywhere :) Hope everyone has a wonderful week!!! Love you all!

ReplyDeleteThis house is really cute on the outside (!)
Is this the house you guys moved from? Or your current home?
The kids look great. I really hope that all your dreams come true. Sure, it takes work. But dreams are worth working for!
Talk to you soon.

PS Is Olivia still with you guys?
