YIKES!!! I have neglected my poor computer! But what a busy month! Finally, we are into January, and back to some semblance of order. AND....
We're going to build a house!!!!!! Our property did not sell, the sales agreement has expired and we are off the market. But you know, the longer we thought about it, the less attractive that place at Yoho was. I mean, it was nice - great seasonal living - but for year round, not really suitable. And LONESOME! Besides one more baby, and we'd be bustin' our seams again. So we are building.
I am so jazzed. I mean, I can hardly think about anything else. We are going to get a modular. Now when I first suggested modular to Greg, he winced. He of course, had the same reaction as me when I didn't know anything about them. Bland, sterile-looking, boring bungalows. BUT, joy and bliss, that is not true. They can build ANYTHING you want. And we want Cape Cod. They will put it on a full foundation - so we have to wait til the snow is gone and the ground starts to thaw - and finish the first floor. We can save money if we do the second floor ourselves. I really am nearly beside myself. I'm going to go into town today to look at fabric - we're having an old sofa of Greg's Grandma Madley's reupholstered, and will of course plan the living room around that. Cole's room will be a Pooh theme (not original, I know, but he just got a brand new Pooh comforter for Christmas that he loves as well as his new Pooh jammies), I'm thinking of doing Luke's in giraffes (saw a really cute picture of a baby giraffe with it's mama and thought how cute of a theme that would make for a little one's room), and Greg and I will have a suite on the main floor. There will actually be FIVE bedrooms upstairs (I'm planning for the future you know!), as well as a bathroom and a neat storage room. Most of these are my ideas - actually I did the upper floor plan myself, and did the lower based on several that I liked and combined. Anyhoo, that's our life right now. And I hope to be more faithful to my blog in the new year. Have a GREAT day!
