I'm mentally planning flower beds, gardens for next year and what I would like for chickens.
Hubby and I are going to paint the kids rooms and carpet them before we move in. For Christmas I plan on ordering all 7 kids new bedding and wall decals for their room. Also I am going to make curtains for their windows. I want to get some chalkboard paint and have a chalkboard painted on their walls in each of their bedroom that way they can write down reminders and be artistic if they feel so inclined.
I'm blessed with 4 or 5 old 6 pane windows in the basement of the house. One of them will be painted with chalkboard paint the others will be turned into picture frames. They just need some hardware on the back to be able to hang in our hallway.
The rest of the house we will continue fixing after we move in.
I know for flower gardens I am researching perennials right now I think I would like to plant. I will be planting purple and red flowers as these are hubby and my favorite colors. I would like to purchase some Shirley Tulip bulbs in memory of my grandmother. I want to plant these along our walkway to the front door.
I'm hoping to plant a few lilac bushes in between our house and the neighbors along the property line for some privacy. All of my dream will not be coming true this year with what I intend on doing but it sure is fun window shopping online for them!!
I'm looking forward to settling down in one place and making it our own. To have a permanent home for when all off our children grow up to come home and visit. For our future grandchildren to come stay.
I'm soaking in the blessings today and pray your day will be blessed!

Waiting on a Closing Date!!!!
Yes you absolutely read right, we are waiting on a closing date on our house. I was hoping we would have closed by now but alas sometimes we just need a light lesson on patience.
I'm hoping within the next few weeks to get into the house and start cleaning. As soon as we get a closing date we will give notice here and start moving things. It will be a good time to do a deep purge at the same time.
It's definitely not my dream house I thought I was going to have but I can't wait to make the inside have that farmhouse feel!!!
Hubby will start clearing the land in back of the house and will till a perfect garden spot and we will be figuring out where we will have our chicken coup in the spring!!
I plan on planting some tulips and other fall planted bulbs if we get our closing date soon enough!!! In the spring hubby plans on building me 2 beautiful rock flower beds in front of the house.
At closing I will post pics of our house!!!

Where were you 13 years ago??
I was on my way to my grandparents house 2 weeks away from having my 3rd son. We had stopped by a little mom and pop store to get drinks and snacks for my little boys. Dh had rushed into the car telling me the news. I remember watching tv with my grandparents for a couple of hours completely in shock.
When we got home that night we found out one of hubby's cousins was in the Pentagon when that got hit as well. Thankfully she was alright.
As well as remembering all those whose lives were lost, today is a special day for me. It's the anniversary of my hubby's and I first date. 19 years we have been together.
Take a moment to reflect at how far people have come in 13 years and the families who were left with a hole on their hearts.
I'm thankful for our military who lives their lives to protect us. Those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Yes we do not have a perfect country but I'm thankful for our freedom.

Update
We may have found a place!!!! Actually a place found my hubby! It's not what I dreamed to have that we have been house searching for but Hubby and I have dreams of turning it into ours. We should know by the end of this month if we will have this house or not.
I can tell you it's a 3 br 2 ba home that we will turn into a 5 BR 3 BA home. I have decided if this is our forever home, I will be doing farmhouse decorating to give my home that farmhouse feel. It sits on 2.6 acres so I know we can have some chickens and goats as well as a garden.
I plan on putting faux tin as a back splash in the kitchen and putting in a farmers sink. I also want brushed oil bronze fixtures. Lord Willing our dream of owning our own home will become a reality soon!!
