Movin' On Up

People.... I am so excited!

Seriously, there was dancing. There was squealing. There was behavior that I am glad no one was around to see.

But guess what?!

I finished the hardwood floors last night!

Two coats of stain and seven coats of polyurethane total throughout the house and I am officially done with the floors!

Oh my, if I could even describe to you to the excitement and refief I feel...

The floors have consumed my life for the past week or so, but now it's over.

It was hard for several reasons but one that I forgot to mention was that the kiddos couldn't be with me because it is such a stinky, messy, dirty job, so there were many late hours and odd hours working with the Hubs' schedule so he could watch the girls.

Now it is all over and I can relax a bit. I can bring the girls with me. They can run and play.

I may be jinxing myself, but I am going to say it.... It is downhill from here.

Now we can bring in the washer and dryer, and the fridge. They will join the dishwasher and stove which are already in their place.

So I have set the move in date for next week!

Can you believe it?

We have water, we have electricity, we have finished floors. It is time.

Oh, I am soooo ready.

I am ready to be done bouncing back and forth between houses. I am ready to be done telling the girls they can't come with me. I am done putting off friends and family events so I can get the house ready for moving in.

I am so ready.

This weekend I will clean and pack and prepare. Next week, the plumbers will finish up, the elctricians will finish, and the carpenters will work on the finishing touches.

We will move in.

Next week.

Oh, I cannot wait.

Thank you for the kind comments and the support from my last post.

You guys are awesome!

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

I will be back soon with photos and more!

Changes

I was cleaning today, which gave me time to think, and thinking always leads me here. The house is 'weekend messy', so decided to clean my floors, because The Nester says if your floors are clean the rest of the house feels clean too, even if it isn’t.  I have found that it is pretty good advice, so when everything else feels chaotic, I clean the floors. Of course for me, cleaning the floors also means picking up the toys, shoes, clothes, etc. so that I can even begin to vacuum, which naturally leads to a cleaner home as well.  While cleaning up I began to think about how this blog has evolved over the years, from a desire to write like The Nester about home, into what it is now.  I started writing this blog when I was dreaming of building a new home. Then plans changed, life took turns, and we ended up in a home so different than I expected and so perfect for our family. Somewhere along the way I realized that home wasn’t in the walls that went up or in the co

The Farmer

I trust that, by now, you have all seen the commercial heard round the world. You know, the one that stopped all action and silenced a nation when the soft rumble of that voice drifted into living rooms on a Super Bowl Sunday. Yes that commercial . Paul Harvey's voice, unmistakable in its sincerity and beauty, spoke of a people whom work from sun up till sun down with no recognition. He spoke of a people whom care for their baby animals and pour their blood, sweat and tears into helping them grow. He spoke of a people, so foreign to many in the world today. He spoke of a people whom many have forgotten. He spoke of a people; my people. The farmer. I am a fourth generation farmer married to a fourth generation farmer. Together we are raising the fifth generation. We don't do it because its easy, it's not. The hours my husband spends working rival that of any doctor or lawyer I have ever met. We don't do it because it's profitable, some years it&#

Simplify

I have been wanting to simplify some areas of my life for awhile now, but I just haven't taken the time do it. I already feel like I live a pretty simple life and there are aspects of it that I really love. But there is more that I want to do to improve the way I am living and the way that I am raising my kids. Over the next few weeks, I am going to be sharing some of the things I am already doing and some other things I want to implement into my lifestyle. Let's quiet the noise of the world. Let's tame down the chaos. Let's find a starting point and just jump. It starts at home. Whether you are single or married or have a house full of kids. Peace begins at home. How you treat yourself and how you treat others. We have to start somewhere on quieting all of the noise and giving ourselves and our loved ones a place of rest. A place to feel safe. A place to call home. So lets start small. First up: Let's enjoy a meal with the people we love. You can m
