These are
the times of our lives…..or are they? We finally moved into a house. Dance and
shout let’s get it out. Okay now we talk about what’s what. I love the house it
is in a great location and it has more cupboard and closet space than I have
ever seen in a house. It has stone tile that is beautiful on the bottom floor
and hardwood floor in the entry.
It is huge,
trust me I Swiffer mopped it this morning. It has vaulted ceilings in the
living room. Unfortunately the only furniture we have in there is a TV stand, a
TV and Loren’s Xbox. Because the furniture company did not deliver that. It
will be here on Wednesday. Oh and that beautiful stone tile it isn’t as
beautiful once your phone falls and your screen cracks into a spider webbed
disaster. :’( But yay for an amazing insurance for cell phones from Asurion I
had a replacement in a little over 12 hours. But no service because this house
has major blind spots for cell phones. All not near plugs.
But, it has
a beautiful kitchen with cupboards, oh so many cupboards. Thank you to the
amazing Brandon from Travelers Haven. We have a furnished house. There are
queen sized beds in the kids and my mom’s rooms and a king size one in Scotty’s
and my room. They have night stands and dressers. Unfortunately in our room we
only one night stand. Obviously there is a flaw in the plan there. By the time
the living room has furniture, we get our second night stand, lamp plus our
washer and dryer it will be amazing right?
I mean they
provided all of the housewares, I mean all of it!! Brandon is one kickass guy,
he told me he is like my concierge. Well he is!! Today we are getting our
internet and cable. Have I mentioned that Brandon rocks? Well he does.
But…..and here is the big but. When we walked through the house the first time
there were things that we noticed that needed to be fixed. The owner was
supposed to come in last weekend to fix it all
Yesterday, I
get here with our first load and to do the walk. I was full of hope, I was told
the owner had fixed the holes in the walls, touched up the paint. Fixed the two
showers upstairs and the bath in the spare bath. But, alas no he had not
visited and oh the joys and surprises the three car garage is full of their
things. Seriously? This is what the insurance company is paying for?
I put down
every little freaking thing on paper and we documented everything with photos.
So the owner is supposed to come in on Saturday and fix every little thing.
Including the fence. Sigh. :/ But I love this house, for all of the warts and bumps
because you know what? We are together, and today one month after the fire we
have each other, the dogs are able to run in a big backyard. For all of the not
so great things I am happy here. I am sitting at the dining room table on my
laptop feeling the breeze blow through my windows around me. There are windows
behind me and next to me. There is a beautiful breeze blowing and I am a happy
camper.
Who can be
unhappy when they have a home and place to lay their head next to love of their
lives? Who can be unhappy when they know that downstairs their mom is alive and
well? Who can be unhappy when they can hear their kids, whether they are
arguing or getting along? Who can be unhappy when they see their dogs romping
in the yard or laying under a shade tree with their tongues hanging out with a
doggy smile on their faces? Who can be unhappy watching a peacock walk across
their front yard? It’s not the turkeys we normally have at home but I’ll take
it.
