| The front of the house |
The house is deceptively larger than it seems from the outside. When you go in the front door, you are in the dining room, the steps to go up to the two bedrooms are there and there is a living room. Both the dining and the living room have beautiful bay windows that the cats are going to adore!. There is a doorway and a slide window that open from the dining room into the kitchen and off of the kitchen is a large family room, that will be great for watching TV!
I absolutely adore the kitchen, its bigger than the one that we have now, with tons more counter space! There are cabinets everywhere! There is a newer refrigerator, a flat top stove and a dishwasher! A DISHWASHER! There is also a small bedroom that I will use for my office and the main bathroom is on the main floor.
Upstairs are two bedrooms and a half bath (just a toilet and sink). Both bedrooms are nice sized and will both fit our king sized bed. The only thing that I am worried about is getting the large gorgeous double dresser that used to be in my mom and dad's bedroom. My mom wants Hubs and I have to have the dresser as it won't fit in her room. There is a basement that isn't finished per se, but it is partially finished and dry so Hubs can use that as his "man cave". Tons of cabinets and storage down there also. The laundry room is the length of the back of the house and also has a "pittsburgh toilet" in it. For those of you wondering what a "pittsburgh toilet" is, its a random toilet put in the basement with no walls or anything around it. HA. There is also a shower in the laundry room that looks usable.
The back yard is huge and there is a wrap around porch with a roof around the back/side of the house. There is a pond and also a shed in the backyard and I cannot wait to begin to do some landscaping. We are hopefully going to take up residence in this place on or before July 1st. I will do a better tour of the inside of the house once we get in and get it fixed up.
There are a few things that we want to do to the house. We are going to assist with removing the carpeting from the floor because right now the carpet is mint green and smells. The people who lived there previously must have had cats because it smells like cat urine to me, but I know we can get the smell out. The carpet is going to be removed to expose the beautiful hardwood floors underneath. We are going to assist with the labor of taking the carpet out and refinishing the floors. Hopefully we will get in sooner than later and get started with the work!
I was really starting to get worried that we weren't going to find a place. I am so happy that this has worked out. We were so happy with this place, it is someplace I can see us being in for awhile. We are going to sign a two year lease so that gives me hope that we will have some stability for awhile.
We put off TTC for this month because of everything with the move. I will be doing most of the packing and moving of the small things and rubbermaid containers with the hours that Hubs works so having me not being able to move thing and pick things up would make things hard this month. That doesn't change the fact that I am still thinking about it all the time and I really wonder if we are doing something wrong. I don't seem to be able to pinpoint the days that I ovulate on my own and it just makes me so very frustrated. I surely didn't think that this would take such a long period of time. I am wondering if something is wrong with me or him and if that is why it is not happening. I wish that I could just get some sort of peace on that front also. We have to try a few more months and then I'll make an appointment to see a doctor.
Once we get in and get this situated, I will do a tour of the new house! I am finally feeling so much more relaxed. Nothing at this point can bother me, even dirty whore's who still feel the name to make snide comments directed at me because they have nothing better to do with their time and something is obviously wrong mentally.
