    Oh, I'm so excited-- I'd wondered if they might not get to your house sooner than planned. How amazing it that?

    What colors do you think you want?

      Don't know about the outside so much. My husband agreed to leave me alone with the inside of the house if he got the outside. Linoleum for the kitchen and bathroom though. I have ideas that I will write a post about later but I have to get my babysitters back in place. Shoot! I need more boxes!

    Congratulations.

    We are on the brink of signing the contract to start construction of our next house. We have the paperwork, and only need to decide if this is, indeed and truly, what we want to do.

    Oh, Shirley, that is wonderful news! Now you don't have to worry about moving during the holidays, either!

    Congrats!!

      I won't have an extra grinchy hubby! Woo-Hoo! I'm jumping out of my skin. I'm so jumpy I need spell check. I can't write strait. Thank you!

    YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh I am soooooooooo happy for you. You have waited so long and worked so hard toward this. It will be a blast to finally move in and set up a whole new home. WOW!! Everything new! Good for you Shirley.

      We just purchased $100 worth of accessories. A new dish set that matches the curtains, couch, and the things thriftshop sent for my kitchen. I say 3-4 mos and we will be in. I sure hope my grass starts growing by then. I wonder if we need to get a lawn mower this year or if I should wait.
    2. ThriftShopRomantic
      Oh-- yay! I'm glad the stuff matches things you already had. I'd seen you post once that blue was your favorite color, so that's what I'd gone that direction.

      Woo-hoo!
    3. Shiley
      My new dishes are maroon, blue, and green. Our Kichen/ dining room and living room have no seperation really so every thing has to match in some way. Our new couch is going to be green. The curtains are homemade and they are maroon and green. We will be making pillows for the couch. I will have to enlist my mommies help. Too much to do and not enough time.

      Love shopping! Have no clue what any of it looks like though. We made the choice to leave everything in the box until the day of the move.

    Congrats, Shiley. Can't wait to see some pix of the construction and the finished home.
    1. Shiley
      I have to find my video software but I have a pic of our lot and the cinder brick just waiting to be a foundation. I hope I didn't put it under something I packed. If you could see my living room... (groan)
    2. gtally
      Embedded images! We want this thread full of embedded photos showing us your progress!
    3. Shiley
      Oh, I'll have to get another memory card I think. If I could just wiggle my nose and pack and bring my lost objects... Too bad that's only a TV show. That will be going on my blog so how 'bout I send a link when it all starts.

      Now I don't know if I'm rooting Shirley on or Voting for Pedro.

      I'm SO confused.
  12. celticmusicfan

    @ThriftShopRomantic :who is Pedro?
    1. Shiley
      The dancing guy's shirt says vote for something I think Pedro. Pedro is Paul in Spanish.
