Time travel...can I jump ahead another 6 weeks?

How the heck did it get to be September!!!

The summer went by in a flash, it mainly consisted of looking at houses during the week and diving on the weekends. Jason's parents arrived last Saturday for their 6 week visit and we are still in the apartment. I managed to convince Jase that we should clear out the spare room and put a bed in so his parents didn't have to sleep on the old, lumpy, futon for 6 weeks, did I mention they are here for 6 weeks? So they have a room with a door, and the week after they leave we may be able to move into our new house. That's right we finally found a house, but "Murphy's law" is once again proven, after 7 months of looking, Jason's parent still get 6 weeks of apartment living, not house fixing. Jase's Dad is a Contractor/Carpenter and 6 weeks with a live-in workman would have been wonderful, but the house is lovely and we will be in it by November(fingers crossed). Here are some photos to entertain until I get up the energy to write again, before the 6 weeks is up. It is a 2 storey colonial on a corner lot; has 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, living room, dining room, front porch, 2nd floor back porch, and a great yard!

Your new home looks gorgeous! It is so homey and I love the side double porches. The swing looks so inviting and the banister coming down the staircase will be so much fun to decorate during the holidays. I am so excited for you and Jase. Best of luck with all of the visitors. Are you crazy girl or what?
;D Tammy
