Snowflake Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 As I have been telling people at work, I wouldn't say that we are "moved in", but we've been sleeping in our own beds in our own house for a little over a week now. Seems so nice....quiet...cluttered The house was "decorator ready" so we have to paint all the rooms and the ceilings. We did the bedrooms that were chosen to be sleeping quarters (not the "office") first. From there, it was on to the utility room so the washer and dryer could be installed and the REAL joys of housework could begin! We have most of the common areas painted, just need to move to the office and get some kitchen/bath paint for areas that will have issues with steam and odor... Hopefully, the breezeway and garage will be totally completed when we get home this evening. No light fixtures to either and the yard is really dark with buildings blocking the yard lights that are attached to the house... Will be nice to be able to actually MOVE in... Maybe by Christmas I'll have my underwear in a dresser and not a cardboard box! Quote
mhutch1366 Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Now that's a lovely visual for a Christmas present, dear Becky..... "Where's my blinkin' undies? WHAT ARE THEY DOING IN A DRAWER??" lol... Glad you've moved on to this step! Blessings on your new home. XOXOXOX Prayers always, MaryAnn Quote

SDianneB Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Maybe by Christmas I'll have my underwear in a dresser and not a cardboard box! Underwear in a dresser drawer? What a concept. I must give this more thought ..... Di Quote
Ry Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Well ok Beck...good for you. Glad you are getting sprung from the parents house. This will be a great holiday for you in the new home. Got mistletoe? Quote
SJAS Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Congratulations Becky! From what I remember of Michigan winters, forget about the undies, make sure the snow blower is unpacked ! Quote
Nushka Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Becky, I could hear the sigh of relief coming from your lips as you typed that you are in your own home at last. I know this has been a "tight" few months for your family and I am so glad that you have some space of your own now. What a wonderful present for the holidays. A new home all your own. Enjoy. Nina PS. forget the underwear unless it is long johns. Its cold. Quote
ginnyde Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Becky, Wow, it took so long so I am sure that made the move even sweeter, especially in time for Christmas. Forget the blinkin (thought it said bikini at first) undies and get the long johns out. How wonderful to just have your little family, including the puppy, together in your own home, enjoy. Love, Quote
Eileen Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Becky congrats on your big move---I am sure you will be settled in shortly and it must be great having your own house and things again---enjoy best wishes Quote
tnmynatt Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Becky, So HAPPY for you! Merry Christmas and hope you get your drawers in use soon. LOL!! Seems there is a pun there somewhere. Take care. Quote
Hebbie Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Congrats!!! FINALLY!!!!!! Don't forget -- if you are going to be painting, check out "Harmony" paint by Sherwin Williams -- doesn't have that stinky odor or the harmful chemicals that "regular" paint has! Wishing you the very best Holiday season in your brand spankin' new home! Quote
