And even more of this.............(might I point out NOT our house nor will we be using any form of Palm Trees. I don't believe they would survive Nebraska Winters. Now back to your regurally schedule Blog)
So that this LOVELY Gem of a realtor Jen can sell our house quickly!!!!
So for those of you closest to us you have known almost the whole time me and Steve have been together we have talked about how "one day" we will sell our tiny yet adorable starter home in hopes of more storage, sqft, and Steve's most coveted "Man basement" haha. Well, the day is coming just about 3 years sooner then we thought...........
We have decided to aggressively attack our house with paint and silver hardware. Jen is going to come over (keep your fingers she had an "out patient" surgery to remove her gall bladder. I don't believe any surgery is "out patient" especially if you have a 4 month old daughter waiting at home) Saturday morning to rip apart our house and tell us exactly where to spend our $ and what not to do. I'm hoping it won't turn into one of those Flipping shows we know and love on TLC and HGTV, but I want the truth so we can get the most bang for our buck! We are currently searching the web for the perfect house. It must be with in 15 minutes of the First National Tower (i.e. why this whole thing started. Besides getting the evil ex wife off the mortgage, the 45+ minute EACH WAY commute on my poor Hubby is wearing on him and us), 1500+ Sqft, 3 bedrooms, dining room, master bath with 2 sinks, walk in closets, and an unfinished basement. Ha impossible right?? All this for a whapping budget of $140! So we found a couple good options to go through w/ Jen and in 1 day our top 3 were gone. I was sure God was sending us a sign that this was not the time and to stop our search. As soon as we stopped though he plopped something in our laps (computer screens to be accurate). Last night we went through some model homes. They are about 15 minutes of a drive for Steve (yes that is a savings of over an hour in the car each day! And about $800 a month is gas), un finished basement, 3 bedrooms, 2 bath, large eat in kitchen (enough room for 8-10 people), 2 car garage, and gorgeous brand new neighborhood! And hold the phone but it is a RANCH. Holy Moly!!! We still have a LOT of details to figure out but it really seems to perfect to be true! Like I say I am just jumping the gun (who me? NEVER (scarism) ), who knows maybe we will do all these upgrades fall in love w/ our house all over again and stay! You never know!
I will keep everybody updated but for those of you that love me and want to keep me sane if you want to come over the next oh 3-4 Saturday's to help paint and/or landscape we would appreciate it and feed you!!! If you think of us say a prayer for God's guidance and will through this whole process as Steve is already losing sleep over it :) (love you Honey) Thanks everybody we love your support and prayers!!!! Here are some random pictures of our current house for your viewing enjoyment. Sorry I don't have many here at work!
Our Christmas Tree in '06. Oh those horrible bland white walls!
Oh what good a little color in your life can do! haha. (ignore the fat pmsing girl in the picture. What was I thinking if the MIL is coming over you MUST do your hair and makeup and wear a more figure flattering shirt because there will most def. be picture taking involved!)
My Cheesey boy in the kitchen (you can KINDA see the lovely yellow paint!). With what he loves most in life (besides his wifey of course); video game controllers for Christmas. Haha
Our FAR to big bed in our FAR to small bedroom. (new smaller bed comes Thursday May 8th. Thanks Uncle Sam for the extra tax return this year!)
Us in the kitchen. Since it's so close up you'll just have to trust me. OK these were supposed to be pictures of the house but it's just to cute of us! What you also can't see is that Steve is SITTING in a chair at the stove cooking me Spaghetti. haha. I love that boy.......
P.S. for those of you out of towners it is going to be a high of 80 degrees here in the big O! Yup Becky finally got to pull her flip flops out and wear them to work! YESSSSSSSSSSSS my dream come true job! haha Of course it will be 50 degrees on Friday but what can you do!
