Home sweet home...Kinda.

So we're back in NC (yay). Everyone came back here because Greg is going to help me out on the house. He's been working non stop since we got here. Mainly little things like putting up a railing (which was way harder then I thought), hanging curtain rods, and making me a gate for the deck. I've been cleaning like crazy, and putting stuff away. Theres a few boxes that need to go to storage, and some trash that needs to be taken out, but other then that things are pretty much in order. The kids really like the house. Cassie pretty much lives in my closet and plays with all my bags and my pre-kiddo clothes. I think she's really excited to have me to back to school shop with, instead of her dad. I think her, Aubrey, and I might take an all girls trip over to Chicago before school. Greg and Cody do a father son camping trip every year right before school so it would be neat to have something like that for the girls.
I think we're pretty sure we're going to build a house. We have our eye on some land that we're dying to go and check out. 20 acres! That would give us a ton of room. I also think we're going to draw up our home plans ourself. Greg knows how to do that, so this will truly be OUR home. I have a good idea of what I want and Greg seems to like all my ideas so far. I'd really like a wrap around porch, upstairs laundry, pantry in the kitchen, large but well laid out kitchen, lots of storage room. I'd also love to have a huge garden. The only thing we disagree on is a pool. He wants one and I don't. I think because we can only use it a few months of the year that it's a waste of money, and I worry with small kids about safety. But he thinks it would be good for the kids and keep them at our house over the summer instead of somewhere else. Which is a good point. Im sure i'll lose that fight lol.
I just hope both home sell quickly so we're able to get on with it. My house is ALMOST ready to be put on the market, just a few more cleaning things to do and get the wallpaper up in the bath (the wrong one was ordered). And thats about it. Should be on the market the day the wallpaper goes up. I think my house will show well, im pretty proud of how its turned out. Just wish it would of been done awhile ago so I got to enjoy it more. I greatly enjoy entertaining and this is a great house for it.
