waiting

Still waiting. The story of my life. We don't close on the house until July 15, but we are ready NOW. The bankers are ready, but the house is not quite finished yet. The paint needs touching up and the appliances need to be installed. All this waiting around is driving us all a little nuts. We are living in a 2 bedroom apartment without much to do, but we try and spend the day out and about, but even then....
On the bright side I've been on the funnest shopping spree ever. It took me 5 hours to spend what took me 5 years to save. All brand new furniture for the down stairs and all 5 bedrooms. I will be using our other furniture for the up stairs game room for now. I still need to decide on room decorating themes for the kids, but the rest of the house is a little Pottery Barn, mixed with Pier 1 and World Market. I hope it comes out as nice as it is in my head.
Dave is working on the master plan for the back yard. So far he has picked out the sitting area. He has a pool guy coming a week after we move in and the play ground people will set up a cool play set around September. He plans on an outdoor kitchen with dinning area and fireplace. All I ask for was a little corner to grow my vegetables and to have lots and lots of plants. This is another thing that I hope turns out as cool as it is in my head.
