The Pink Room

After some persuasion I am posting pictures of the hideously ugly room that we are repainting in our home. Unfortunately - or maybe it is fortunate - the pictures do not do the room full justice. The paint is so bright that you can see a pink glow reflecting in the hallway before you even enter the room. Furthermore, the neon green diamonds are sparkly. How many coats of primer and paint do you think it will take to cover up this sight-blinding room?

FINALLY

We finally closed on our home today. I can truthfully state "our home", because it really is now :) So, now I get to dive head first into picking paint colors, unpacking (another FINALLY), settling in, getting to know a new ward and planting a real garden! I can taste the fresh tomatoes already. Yum!

Our Soon To Be Home

So, I realized (thanks Sarah) that I still haven't posted anything about the home we are trying to purchase. We have just two weeks until we close on "our" home. So, I think I am safe posting a picture of the home and giving a little more information about it. This home fits all of our requirements that we decided we didn't want to budge on, except it is not a rambler. It has four bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs. The upper level of the home is actually two levels, because the master suite is on a level all of it's own. It has an unfinished basement, which we like because it gives us room to grow. It has a fenced in backyard and plenty of space for a garden and play area for the kids. It is on a very quite street, which is awesome, because one of the homes that fell through was on a busier road and I was never quite comfortable with that. Much to Mary's delight, it has a bright pink bedroom with neon green diamonds that sparkle (I wish I had a picture, it is one of a kind). Unfortunately for Mary, we are going to paint over it before we move in. The bright pink and green are just a little to much for me to handle :) I can't think of anything else I want to say about it right now, and since the kids are calling . . . I will call it good for now.
