The Move...

Good lord, we are at it again! We are moving again to a new house, one more time! Like I said, this will be Cyrus's 4th house and my...17th...ugh, you would think I was an Army kid. After living in so many homes, it hard to be particularly excited about any one of them but the home we are moving into is so AWESOME! It's perfect for us, we may never leave! Truth be told, it was build in the late 70's and is a bit dated in decor but that can be fixed. A few light fixture changes, some new window dressings, and replacing the two rooms with the wall paper (uh huh) and it's going to be golden. I have NEVER lived in a home this big. We don't have nearly enough furniture to fill it. It's about 3000 square feet and has 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 2 living rooms, a HUGE kitchen, a giant storage/gear/cy play area, and on and on...I have all my kitchen stuff in and nearly 1/2 the cabinets are empty. Brad says that's fine, I say, there are millions of kitchen gadgets out there that I have always wanted and now seems like a good time to make that happen:) We need to do some shopping for some new furniture in the next couple of weeks. Our living room will be downstairs with the tv and such and will share that with Cyrus's play room. So, we're going to get a new couch/chaise and chairs and such for that room and bring our current couch/chairs up to the sitting room upstairs since they are slightly more formal (think less comfortable) than what we want downstairs. Anyway, my personality is such that I just want to get it all right now and be done with it but i will try to taper that so that I can find the perfect pieces to fill this wonderful house that we have been blessed with.  Life in Richmond has been so good to us, it's amazing the opportunities that have presented themselves to us since our move just over a year ago. I still miss Steamboat, all the time, but I know we would never be where we are financially now while we were there. I know it's not everything but it's a big part of life and it's a whole lot easier when you are comfortable, finally!
