Sell This House

I can't believe I haven't written a post all week. Hmmm, doesn't seem that long. Time is flying by right now, which scares me to death.

Time flying by means that the 2 short months until I own (and the bank expects me to pay for...) 2 homes will be over before I know it. Prayers for selling our house would be much appreciated right now. It's not that we can't pay two mortgages, and we in fact always knew that was a possibility, it's the fact that it's gonna pretty much stink to do that. I know we can do it, I would just rather not prove it, KWIM?

The new house is quickly becoming a home. There are now granite counter tops- an obscene amount of granite, I might add- and they are gorgeous. Actually, right now they are not gorgeous at all. They are filthy. But once they are clean they will be fantastic- I love them. Now that I think of it, they might even make paying 2 mortgages worth it. But only for like 1 month. Or maybe 2.

They are putting the tile in right now- it's also very nice. I am a little afraid the color in the kitchen is too light- I hope it doesn't look dirty all the time. In reality, it probably will be dirty a lot of the time, I would just prefer it didn't look it. I have talked with God and I am quite sure that my purpose here on Earth has little to do with house cleaning. He would have made me much better at it had He intended me to do it all that often. There are approximately 5 billion things I am better at than cleaning house.

Light fixtures arrive this week and that has me quite excited. I think it will begin to really look like home once those are in. Also, I am ordering the wood blinds for all the windows this week. Ummm, and can I say hello expensive! I really had no clue they would be this much money. But after extensive discussions which leave us both feeling like we don't even care what is on the window, we have decided they are the best option. A lot of the windows are visible from the front of the house and because I am neurotic and have too much time to think about things I have some serious issues with windows that do not look uniform from the front of the house.

Oh, the fireplace is done. And even though it's probably completely snotty of me, I don't care because it was a lot of work, it is magnificent. I will try for pictures in a couple days. It's exactly what I wanted.

So, have a good week and pray we sell our house.
