So much to do, so little time

I know I haven't kept up with my blogging calendar the last week or so. We have been in the process of purchasing a new home. It is tiny and not on the amount of land we originally desired, however it will be ours and is a wonderful project. It has been a rental for the last fifteen years and has seen quite a bit of use and abuse. We are officially in the home and in the process of making it completely ours.

Now we loved our little beach apartment but to have a place to call our own, I don't think there are words at the moment to describe the way we feel. Well, maybe a few exhilarated, scared, over joyed and overwhelmed. This is going to be a huge long lasting project. We will be renovating the house and the land.

I will be taking pictures and keeping a video journal as we progress. This is going to be an on going project. To begin with we need to patch the flashing on the roof, replace vent caps, repair the ceiling, replace the flooring and painting. First thing is first, we are unpacking and putting everything in place. The most amazing feeling is unpacking knowing that the only time things will be moved is because I am tired of where something is located in the house, not because we have to move yet again.

There is an ever growing list of things to do and many trips to Lowe's Home Improvement, yard sales, thrift stores, Habitat Home Re-sale shop and any where we can find a bargain.  Our goal is that by this time next year we will have our things out of storage in North Carolina. We are finally really and truly home.

Our neighbors are awesome in this quiet little community in Horry County, South Carolina. The kids have settled in beautifully and made new friends. I do need to bake some bread for our neighbor Eddie and his wife. He came over and offered the use of his pick up to get rid of a mound of trash left behind by previous tenants. It has been a long time since we have had neighbors that not only offer help but actually go through with the offer.

It is time to get the house moving have some errands to run in town later on. Light and Love! My scheduled calendar blogs will start up again tomorrow. I have an actual office to work in, it is so lovely!!
