Our new home

I thought about not posting pictures until the "After" was finished, but then I realized we might not all live long enough to see it since it may take years!!! j/k But seriously... you will see.

Today was our last Saturday as non-homeowners so we enjoyed the day by taking the boys to the Little Farmer (a hobby farm in our town that has a pumpkin patch, goats, chickens, a play area with hay stacks and all sorts of fun stuff, and they sell caramel apples, hot cider, etc.) and then we left Caleb with my sister while we took Gabe to see the new HSM3 movie. (That's High School Musical 3 for those of you over the age of 12.) I must say I really liked it. Josh even was into it. When Gabe said his diaper was poopy within ten minutes of the movie's end, Josh was like, "He can wait! Shh!" (Josh wanted me to add that he wasn't even really poopy, which he knew, and that's why he told him to wait till the end.)

So here's some pics of the boys and our beautiful new home! Just keep in mind the things we loved about it were A) The neighborhood, B) The yard, and C) The size/layout of the home - All the things you CAN'T change. Pretty much every thing that CAN be changed (paint, for example) will be. But hey, maybe in a few years if the market picks up and we've got it all pretty we can make a little profit on it. With an ex-carpenter for a husband it's almost a waste of talent to not buy a fixer-upper, right? So, with that said, Wish us luck! I have a feeling we're gonna need it!

HOLY COW! Tiff told me a little about the accident a couple days ago... but I just barely saw the pics and read YOUR version!!! That's one of my biggest fears!!! I'm so glad that you guys are all okay! I can't believe you didn't just pass out from shock or something. That's kinda funny that Gabe did that with his cars.... THAT'S SO CANNON!!! Anyways... I hope that you guys get your car situation figured out soon. Yikes!
Oh, and congrats on your house. I can't wait to see the "after" pictures. You really have a knack for that! Someday when you guys move back, I'll have you come and decorate my house for me! -K-

I stole Jada's password so I could look at your blog. OK, to tell you the truth, I wanted to listen to your blog too. I must admit, the HSM3 soundtrack is pretty good and I knew you would have some tunes to listen to. I hope all is going well for you guys. Love ya!
