Ok, I haven't been on here in awhile cuz...






We bought a house!!!!!!!!

It was a long long hard road that I think I nearly went bald over. Anyone that's been close with me here knows that me and my DH live on 300 sq ft and he's a packrat!

We now own a 3 bed 1 bath in the neighborhood where I went to high school. It needs some work but DH is willing to do it so that's ok with me. We also have a snake that I could do without but if it leaves me alone I will let it live!


When I have time and am at either place long enough I will post some pics especially of Kitters reaction to so much space! She's so gonna love it.


So, that is my update for now! I wanted to also say thanks to everyone that gave me vibes the last time we started doing this! THANKS!!!!!!!


Jill

Psychologists say buying a house and moving, losing your job, or a death in the family all produce about the same level of stress. So you're not alone in the experience.

I wish I could buy a cozy little house near either of the high schools I attended. So how about pics of the house and the kitties in it?

We are in the process of fixing some of the things that need to be done before Kitters can come... We need to put a door on the pump room, so she can have full reign of the whole house and not take a DIP!! LOL

She is so spoiled already I KNOW she is going to have SOOO many things with more room. We already ordered her a new toy I will have to take video of her with it once we get it.

Yeah, with what we went through the last time and then this thing... I am glad the first home thing is over with!!!! We bought a foreclosure and the bank that owned it gave us the run around and it was in so many peoples hands it was a NIGHTMARE, but, it's all over, it's mine and I'm so happy!!!


Well, today we have a bunch of the big stuff in there and I have half the bedroom painted! I just couldn't do anymore last night!
I thought I was going to spit green for week!!! I hate painting apparently! I wish I was like 5 feet taller and 3 feet shorter all at the same time... Getting up and down is a PAIN!! Literally!
But, I only have to do it once.... hopefully! The rest of the rooms are going white and one at a time so, it shouldn't be too bad!

Well, off to finish the bedroom!


Jill
