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!

A Crate and a Challenge

One of my favorite blogs is having a Pintrest Challenge. They do it a couple times a year and its just a fun time to challenge everyone to complete a project they've pinned on Pintrest. I've been wanting to get in on the action, but never found the time. Oh yeah and a little thing called, I don't do Pintrest. It's not because I'm not interested or I don't think I'll like it. I'm terrified of it! I already spend too much time perusing my favorite house app and a bunch of blogs I follow, and Facebook. If I added something as captivating as Pintrest, my house and kids may just go completely uncared for. So in the spirit of playing along with the Pintrest challenge I thought I'd share our headboard that I made a couple years back, loooong before I started blogging. It is by far one of the projects I am most proud of! Almost three years ago, the hubs and I got a new bed, a giant sized, California King! It came with a frame, but no headboa

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&#

Happiness

I am a New Years girl. I love goals and check lists and I love the feeling of a fresh start, but resolutions have never been my thing. A few year ago I began picking a word for the year and I found that it works really well for me.  Setting a word for the year has helped me to focus on a quality that I want to grow in myself. Last years word was ‘ intentional ’. It was a full year and in a lot of ways a really hard year. Being intentional with my words, thoughts and actions helped me to really lean into the relationships in my life. The past year felt somber though. It was good and I grew more than I could have imagined, but it also felt serious and deep. I need some relief. This year after praying over it and considering what I would like more of in the coming year, I knew that my word for 2019 had to be 'happiness'. I want more laughter, more spontaneity, more fun in 2019 and none of those things come naturally to me. I thought about words like joy and contentment b
