I found out yesterday that I will be moving home....not just back to my hometown, but back to my HOUSE.  I am so thrilled!!  The details of how this is going to happen is a little harder to explain so I will just leave it at we are going home. I pray that everything works out.  We are supposed to get the house back at the beginning of September.  I have my contractor waiting to do two projects that are going to make a world of difference (to me anyway).  We are filling in the floor in the master bedroom.  It was built with plywood and 2x4's...I know, I know what was I thinking?  So ~~> we are going to fill the floor with concrete to raise it to the level of the rest of the house (our master bedroom used to be the carport), and we are going to extend the roof out on the back of the house so that we have a sort of porch area out the back door at the pool.

Boy, I sure do miss living at home.  I hope I keep this appreciation for the house that we call home.  My kids are thrilled. They are looking forward to swimming in our pool and playing in the back yard.  I'm looking forward to being home for all the holidays that are coming up.  Decorating, dressing up the kids for Halloween, carving pumpkins, Thanksgiving Dinner (which we will be cooking at my house regardless of what the others in my family do), and ah, Christmas...  I will be back to update you as things happen...we will be moving our stuff out of the apartment and into a storage unit next weekend. 

One little baby step at a time...
