House Hunting

007 and I have been house hunting for several months (longer if you include online house hunting). I always took my camera when we went to see houses so that I could remember the details of each place. Here are a couple of the most entertaining things we came across...

Yep, that's a wasp nest about the size of a soccer ball!

We are happy to say that we have found the perfect house for us. We are moving in next weekend. We have 8 cans of paint purchased and ready to go the first day we move in. Fortunately we also have 007's parents here to help! We figure that with them, my parents, plus some friends who have offered to help paint we should be able to get it done pretty quickly...we hope! We have furniture scheduled for delivery about 24 hours after we get the house keys, so I'm sure we'll be up all night that first night getting as much painted as possible. Josh is most looking forward to his new 58" TV which was his first priority when we went furniture shopping. I am looking forward to our new king-size tempur pedic bed! M is looking forward to riding her bike to school since there are no hills between our new house and the school. We are very pleased that the house is in the same school zone.

Jack and Maureen bought us new bedding for our guest bed, so we will be set for visitors! We hope you all come and see us soon.

I'll post photos of the house when we move in.

That's so exciting - I wish I could be there to see it in person but I loved the look of it in the email you sent. It must be so nice for you guys to be more settled. I can't wait to see more.

I'm so excited for you guys. We can't wait to come and visit. I never got the email with pictures, so we'll have to come and see it in person.

Yes, we want to see pictures of the house too. Wish we could be there to help you paint. Let us see "before and after" pics when you have time.

Maybe I can bring Kate's bike over to your house so she can ride to school with Maya in the mornings.

I am excited for you guys too. I can't say I wish I was there to help you paint, as painting and I are not friends, but I would love to be there to see your house and all of you in it!!
