A new home!

So, as you may have heard, we are now living in a brand new home. Yeah!! Amazingly, we sold our other home in only three months, which if you know anything about Sacramento's housing market, it's a miracle! We just figured that God opened all the doors, and we kept walking through them (literally). I still can't believe that we are here sometimes. It is starting to feel more like "home" though. Basically we knew that we would want to get a bigger house sometime soon, we looked around for fun, and hello! everything fell into place. We went from a <1200>1800 sq. feet 4-bedroom (what feels like to us-)mansion. Of course, I immediately went crazy-no seriously- and painted the entire inside of the house. Apparently I thought that the flat, white, boring paint(although brand new) was not to be dealt with. So, some of my very good, and very brave friends came over and helped me with my craziness. But now- ooo la la - I love it muy mucho. It looks beautiful, and although crazy, I am wise since the walls were painted before the furniture was moved in. And now the furniture will not have to be moved again for a long time (if you know me, then you know I don't change tastes very quickly.) So, we are still deciding where to hang the pictures, because, yet again, I don't want to move them again later. By the way, it only took me a month to decide on the paint colors - not bad- eh? But after being here for a month, I do have all the boxes unpacked, with some help from my hubby, Bill. Wonderfully social, Bill thought that four weeks was plenty of time to unpack and organize for a great big party. One that included his birthday as well as the housewarming party we'd always dreamed of. Ok, so that was not fun, but the house is unpacked, put away, and it seems as though Bill knows me well also. I am not a procrastinator, but I am a little picky, and the deadline helped speed me along. The party, by the way, was a hit, we had 40+ people in and out, kids everywhere, and so much food- OH the food--- It was a good party with good friends and family. Did you notice Bill's new TV too? It's huge-oh and humungo. I do like it, but it is bigger (56") than I, as a girl, would have gotten. Look for it in the living room photo. So not all of the house could be photographed on the rainy afternoon we decided to create this blog, so we'll try to get better ones and more of them soon.
