what a weekend...

Even though it was a blizzard outside we got lots of work done inside. With the help of my parents, aunt & uncle, and my sister & brother-in-law we got a lot of work done. I have taking a million pictures (shocking, I know) but here are some that I am most proud of! (many more will follow, I will make another slideshow sometime soon!)

house pictures...

I have never posted a slideshow... let's see if this works!

home sweet home

More pictures will come, I promice! I officially became a homeowner yesterday afternoon. Everybody says closing is a nightmare but honestly it wasn't too bad... I was out of there in 30 minutes. Now for the fun stuff... My sister and I went over to MY house today after school. It is going to take me a while to get used to saying that. Anyway we were measuring the floor because there is carpet everywhere, and my dad is a master with ceramic tile so that is project #1 of the weeked. Anyway there just happened to be a corner of the carpet that was coming loose. So since it was my carpet to pull up, I decided to take a look. Much to my surprise, there was beautiful pink tile under the carpet.

It's funny to me the things that you notice once you are actually in the house for a while. More funny/interesting stories to come. Here's to one crazy adventure into making this house a home!

saving the pink bathroom...

Yes its true, there is a website dedicated to "saving the pink bathroom" and yes my friends I will be saving the pink bathroom in my new house! If you don't believe me click here to see for yourself.

Dream with me for a second....

I close on my house on Thursday (3-19)! Pictures of the real place will shortly follow! In the mean time I am praying the wall paper off the walls. (P.S. EVERY square inch of wallspace is covered in wallpaper... from pink hearts to sunflowers and blue gingham...SICK! Down will wallpaper and up with a fresh coat of paint!)

this is only the beginning...

I am one step closer to officially entering into the world of home-ownership.

• find house - CHECK


• get approval from Pops - CHECK


• make offer - CHECK


• sellers accept offer - CHECK CHECK

Now for talking to mr. banker man, setting a closing date, scheduling a home inspection... then writing the check, getting the keys.... and THEN the fun really begins.... every wall in the house is covered in wall-paper... so the hope is that before I move in the wall paper will go away but don't worry the pink tile will stay.

Here is the place that I will call home. Trust me, many more pictures will follow. YIPPEE!

I "borrowed this picture from the listing on the Internet... :)

Moving to Indianapolis.....

street!

maybe. We'll see. The contract is written. I just have to sign it. Then we'll see if the seller accepts my offer. And maybe just maybe I will get to live in the house with the pink tile in the bathroom.

The Lord has been good. I am amazed at how He has answered each and everyone of my prayers and THEN SOME! Seriously pink tile in the bathroom, THE LORD IS GOOD!

Don't worry, pictures will be shared soon enough!

amazed at the body of Christ

I love etsy.com and I love it even more when I see evidence of the body of Christ coming together to support a family whom they probably have never met, all because they love Jesus and are mourning with them in the tragic loss of their baby girl to cancer. I am amazed at how the body of Christ has been challenged by this little life and how people have been prompted to respond.
