Welcome to the World of Home Ownership!

Well, we finally moved in. The house is live-in-able. It is not ALL the way finished, but for the most part it is! It feels nice. Really nice. We have stayed here about four nights. The kids have slept in thier own beds, even Bailey. I wondered if he would sleep alone. I figured he would have issues... He proved me wrong! He's slept in it and all night long everynight! :o)

So welcome to home ownership. That is the name of this blog. Why? Because being a homeowner is HARD! We have already had things go wrong.... Luckily we have a handy Father-In-Law who is more than willing to help out when needed. He has already helped so much. He is awesome.

When they brought my fridge, something blew in my electric panel, and now my garage door opener, one kitchen plug and living room fan/light do not work! No power is running to them! It really sucks. Not sure what happened but Tims dad is going to check it out tomorrow.

Oh and my BRAND new fridge. The one I just bought, the ice maker part does not work!!! They are coming to look at it tomorrow.... I hope they can fix it up. The MAIN reason I bought that fridge, was for the icemaker/water in the door.... Sheesh!

But for the most part, things have been wonderful, being a homeowner. The kids were outside, playing vollyball yesterday and it was getting dark. There were lightening bugs ALL over the back yard, the kids said "Were So happy you bought this house! There are SO many light bugs!!" Sometimes they can be so cute ;o)

I am loving making memories in my new home. Its really great. I cannot wait to get a living room couch and then UNPACK the living room and have the whole house ready!

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...

The pitter patter of little (annoying) feet!

 I remember when my kids were little and innocent and said super cute things. It still happens sometimes, but not nearly as often. They no longer pitter patter, they clomp. Things change, kids grow.  Luckily I still have my little neighbor girl Adriana. She comes over to play with the big kids quite often and is almost always a hoot. From taking her to the "lime berry" to just silly things she says. Tonight was one of those nights.  I have not slept much and wanted a nice relaxing bath... As I am headed in there, Adriana asks me what I am doing... I tell her I am about to take a bath. "can I take one with you?" Uh.... I have  a vision of myself as Micheal Jackson...No baby, you cannot take a bath with me.... So I am in the tub, and after a while Tim came in to bring me towels... So he was in there visiting with me, and Adriana knocked and asked if she could come in... Tim told her no. "Why? Because Clorie is NAKED??? What are YOU doing in there TIM!?" ...

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...
