We had a very busy, exhausting weekend. I was cleaning the new house and Dean was helping the people move out. The week doesnt look to get calmer either. Tonight we go to get paint and supplies, so that tomorrow I can pick the carpet color I want so it can get installed on Friday. we went to a carpet place and were there for about an hour, it was informative but boring. Dean hates thinking about these things let alone shopping and picking things. But we told his parents we’d shop around for the best price, my goal is a good price and quick installation so we can move in this weekend. I went to two places today, by myself, it took an hour total. I got some good prices and the one place, a Christian place, said if I let them know before noon tomorrow we can have it in on Friday, which is just great. Gives us a day or two to get the rooms painted then new carpet, then this weekend we can move our stuff in!! wohoo! It’s finally coming together, but it has turned into quite an expensive move.
A month later we finally get the loan officer to let us know something, Dean just im’ed me and said she is faxing him a commitment letter which I assume means we got the loan. I am about to cry. Not only do we get to own a house, but I get to decorate it all my own, well as long as Dean agrees, but as I said, he doesnt much care. Suprisingly enough, I have decided to just paint Calebs room a solid color w/ border and Dean wants to make it like it was in Ohio, border and sponge, which requires more work. But to save time I think he is on my side as far as saving time and money. We got a new comforter set yesterday for our room, much more casual, no flowers. It will look nice with our bed and new dressers. Best thing about it it was on sale, the comforter was orig. $80 we got it for $15, someone returned it. There wasnt anything wrong with it, so I grabbed up the deal. Better yet, my mom paid for it!! So all sorts of neat stuff for us this christmas, so we may not have anything to open for Christmas, but we can at least sit in OUR home with our new furniture, new carpet, freshly painted walls, I’d say its a pretty priceless present. Thank you God!!! We know nothing would have worked out without his guidance. So who needs Santa anyway!!
