New house

We are in! It's been a blissful week of unpacking. There is a space for every thing and a thing for every space. This house was meant to be ours. Although I haven't taken any pictures, I will. Expect a full update this week--complete with pictures.

My Top Ten for the week:
  1. I am sitting in the office, door closed, and my kids are...somewhere else, happily playing together.
  2. I have multiple doors...that lock!
  3. If my kids are in the bathroom, I have 2 other bathrooms to choose from! HEAVEN!
  4. I have put things out onto shelves that have been boxed up since I got married.
  5. I could not keep up with the tempo of the first song at church today!!! No more HALF tempo singing!! Drove me crazy.
  6. Haven't heard a loud muffler drive by once--and probably NEVER WILL!
  7. I can't sleep during the night because I am TOO HOT! There is a vent in every room!!
  8. I do not have to turn any lights on during the day because of all the natural light! Remember how DARK my old house was?
  9. I can lay down in any room and not touch all 4 walls.
  10. Did I mention I can go into a room and CLOSE A DOOR and not have 3 kids banging on it within 2 seconds!!!
WE LOVE IT HERE! We finally have a little room to move!! This last week this old video clip has been stuck in my head. It's a claymations cartoon where they are interviewing zoo animals. I relate to the lion who needs "SPACE!" or "E-SPACE" as he puts it with his Brazilian accent. "We need e-space to feel like we are a part of the world!" Check it out here:

I wish I new how to add it as a link, but I am computer challenged. It's worth checking out!

Nice! Where is this wonderful house? Feel free to e-mail the answer to that one.

And if you want the way to add a link is to highlight (by right clicking and dragging the mouse over the word till it's highlighted, but you knew that), then on your top menu, where you click to add a pic or change font etc. . . there is a tiny pict of a couple of chains linked together. click that and a window will pop up to add the the link you want. then you can change the color or italicize it so people know to click on it.
Merry Christmas!

I can totally relate to the half-tempo singing - and unfortunately, the boxed up stuff since my wedding. Glad you like your new house.
