My Home

Have you ever thought your house was closing in all around you? I come home from my business trips and feel like do we really need this much to live? How come you can go out of town and make it with just a couple pair of pant, shoes and shirts. I came home and my house looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months. It had. I promise. My incredibly amazing friend, Lori Cox, and I have spent many hours going through my house organizing and decluttering it and then redecorating it. We have tackled the bathroom and the kitchen. We are going to be doing my bedroom soon. Lori has so much talent. I swear, she can take a couple things and make a room look totally different. I wish I had just one tenth of the talent that she has. She offered to help me do this because that is the person she is. She would do anything for anyone without even thinking about it. When I say she is amazing, I mean it! I am so blessed to have her in my life!
Anyway, I got my house looking somewhat OK. I need to wash the slip covers and really scrub. My bathroom and kitchen look good... Thank you Lori!
I have to say, as I clean this house, I am thankful. Our home is small, but it is ours. It is cute and it is in a good area. Yesterday, I had to go run something out to a different part of town. When Lynn and I were thinking of buying a house, a lot of thought went in to it. We almost bought a house in the part of town that I had to go to yesterday. The house was twice as big as our home and we would have spent the same amount of money. As I went by the school where my kids would have gone, I became so thankful for the schools our kids are in, the neighbors we have and the fact that my family is so close. I am so happy that we are were we are!
I know I am rambling but I just had to say, I love my home! I am so thankful for it! I can't wait until it is all done being organized and such. Then maybe we can finish the basement. I am working on getting that done by the end of the summer.
Well, I will talk to you later. It is obviously getting late. I really start to ramble when it is late... But that is me and... Oh dear, I am going to sign off now~
