previously i imagined writing this blog with much more vigor but right now it's almost 11:30pm and i am EXHAUSTED!!! on june 16th we closed on our first house!!! believe me, despite the slow typing (which you can't tell) and despite the misspelled words (which i will auto-correct) i am very very... worn out... oh whoops i meant to say EXCITED!
why so exhausted? well lets just say texturing walls (um texturing after popcorn-scraping and wallpaper-removing) is one big death wish.
is this a secret homeowners everywhere are instructed to keep quite about? because i have never heard anyone speak of the Rage Provoking Drama of Wall Texturing!!!
ok. i feel better. i just needed to get that off my chest.
it really is a great house and we could not be more excited to move in and have all things great that are associated with a house. our most favorite of those things being:
BEAUTIFUL big trees
a front yard
a back yard
a guaranteed parking spot
and lots of future memories
(and hopefully, at some point walls that resemble walls again)
before i stumble into bed i must recognize (besides my husband) all the family that have helped out in different ways- YOU ARE GREAT! especially Lecia who can get after some wall paper like nobodies business.

wow, I cant believe you already started working on it! So fun! Congrats...um...NOTHING like a guaranteed parking spot.
yay! can't wait to see it!
oh, love dove...i can just imagine you now scraping off that popcorn wall business! yuck! BUT, yeahhh for pretty new walls! It is going to be sooooo great when y'all have that done, and I am sure is great even now! Love you so much!
I hear ya sister! I am seriously soooo excited we are right down the road from you guys! And you guys are working so hard in such a short time period. I give props to yall for doing the texture yourselves. Zach and I were going to as well but decided not to. How is that going? I came over when Jerry was starting to tape everything up. Is it harder than expected? From your blog it sounded a little maddening. I'm starting to wonder if we should've just done it ourselves. Either way, you can always brag that you DID THIS YOURSELF!
LAUREN, I am sooo excited (and a bit jealous!). I can't wait to see it!!!!
Congrats on the new house. I can't wait to get to that point soon too!! Keep your head up, once you have it fixed and the way you want it, you will say all your hard work was WORTH it!! ;o)
yeah!!! BEfore you get too far you need to post "before" pictures so we can see all the progress you guys make!
