Things have been good lately. We've been really busy, but it's been a good busy. I am missing my friends a lot right now. We won't be in town until late November for a full weekend. We got to have a really fun dinner with The Morrows and Trainas last night. Mary made her chicken tortilla soup and it was good! And Brandi brought a chocolate cake! She thought it was ugly, but it sure tasted good.

I'm starting to get really excited about our house. We close on Tuesday. I already have the roofers scheduled for the new roof and rafter repair for Wednesday, then the carpet cleaners on Friday, and then the next Monday I have the pest-guy coming out. So looks like the week of October 5th we'll start trying to move in. It's going to be hard! We'll have to move little bit by bit in the evenings after work. I don't know where to start packing! I'm letting our groceries dwindle away so we don't have to move much of them. We're still waiting on one major document to be signed and turned in by the seller....if they don't do it soon I think closing will be delayed so that is kinda stressful.

I'm starting to try to envision a plan for decorating...I'm bad at decorating! I think the house will be mostly creams/browns/robin's egg blues/green and a little daffodil yellow. That's what I'm into right now. I'm hoping since I work at an architecture firm, the interior designer here might help me with an overall plan. I've been visiting Marthastewart.com alot and like her decorating by color suggestions. I like the neutrals and the yellows actually. I don't know if this particular house we are getting would do well with yellow or not though. Who knows.

So, if you are a good decorator and want to take a crack at my house--let me know! :)

Please pray the closing goes through as expected and we can get everything done!
