Home Ownership

Something I have always wanted, but never really thought would happen to me. For some reason, even though I am nearly 30 year old, and even though I have four children... Sometimes I feel as though I am still a child. Definately not a "grown up" by anymeans. This week though, I feel like a grown up.

About a month ago, we found out we qualified for a home loan, thanks to Tim (my loving husband) and his V.A. Benefits! So we started looking. We looked at probably 20 homes, but the second we went too, was the one that stuck in our minds. A couple weeks later, it would be the one we put an offer in on, and the one who's offer was ACCEPTED!

Inspection, all that went well. So we are now homeowners! We closed Monday. Its a very grown up feeling, walking into a home, that you OWN. Not that you rent. You own it. No one has the keys to it but YOU because its YOURS. Its a wonderful feeling. Wonderful.

So the house is nice, older and totally carpeted, totally. Still stuck in the 70's style for the most part, but we can change that, and in fact, we are! We tore up the carpet in the dinning room, and kitchen, and bathroom. We are changing the countertops, painting the cabinets, and we removed the "house and hearts" wall paper that was in the kitchen. SO currently the house looks as though we have nearly demolished it. Eleven days until we have to be out of our apartment and I am wondering WHAT IN THE HELL we have done!!!???

Soon, very soon I hope. I will be relaxing, cooking nice meals in my new kitchen. Right now though it just feels like we tore stuff up when maybe we should not have!

So I wanted to start a blog on the progress of our home, and the memories we will soon be making in it. That is what this is. It will not be fancy now, because as you can tell I am busy putting my home back together so we can live there!!!

That is the start of the crazy life of Clorie

not everything i say requires a response.

 first off let me say, my shift key is not working so nothing is uppercase today. so sorry.   the new chick at work is driving me...crazy. short drive i know but even so. like seriously. crazy. she argues with everything, butts into any conversation started without her in it, and denies anything being done wrong. she's new, making a mistake is going to happen. if you do it, fess up, and get on. your not in trouble. shut up. quit denying it just say ok, and get on with life. it does not always require a response. just do it. or don't do it, whatever fits in the time. then i have customers like the lady today. she and her friends all got their pizzas. when i walked by i stopped to check on the table. i noticed that the lady was asking her friend to sniff her slice of pizza, of which she had taken one bite of. i asked if everything was okay 'it tasted funny when i took a bite' she says 'here taste it," she tries to get her friends to taste it, one sniffs and ...

some days

 The kids are just cute. I know I normally talk about how bratty they are. but today, well today they were just cute. All of them, even Destiny. Believe it or not.  Hannah came down the little car line to get into the van and she was smiling and so happy, and so dang cute. Promise had a friend over part of the day Bailey played mario and Destiny told me my shirt looked like a hobo shirt (it was Tims)  Today was just a good day. not sure what made it that way. the kids mostly got a long, there were a few SHUTUPS tossed out but for the most part it was pretty peaceful. I wish more days, were like today.  I went to Lowe's today to get a shelf thing to put in our laundry room. Its so exciting! TO think a shelf would be nice here, and then think YEAH, I'll put one in. See we can do that, cus we OWN our house! :) Its awesome!  I got a few more seeds today. Sweet baby peppers, zucchini and squash too. Yum. I really hope something grows this year. I am SO sore f...

Love the one your with.

 My mom and I were talking and lately her relationship is what I guess we could call complicated. During our conversation she stopped and asked me "Are you happy with Tim?" without hesitation I answered "yes".She told me that she knew he loved me and she was so glad I could be happy.  Later I was thinking about it. I have wondered is he "it" is he the one. How can I be sure, how is anyone ever sure? We have been together for almost 9 years now. Granted we've had our issues, but every night he comes home to me, and every morning he's next to me in bed. He loves me, he provides for me, and I love him and provide for him. Together we are raising four wonderful children.  Do I still get butterflies when he walks though the door? Well, honestly, no. Do I still miss him the moment he walks away... Again no, sometimes I am more than happy to see him leave for the evening and go to work... Does that mean I love him any less than I did when our love was...
