The Weekend


What a weekend!! It started off with not having to work at Papa Murphy's which was kinda weird. Then we didn't have a whole hell of alot to do this weekend. A pretty boring weekend as a matter of fact. Saturday Bill played golf, the kids & I looked at houses. We found 2 that we really like. Slept in today since it was Mother's Day. I cooked a meal that my husband refused to eat but I figured it is Mother's Day so I will cook want I want. It was really good. Grandma & Grandpa K. joined us for dinner and they loved the food. The kids gave me a candle and roses with carnations. Very pretty!!! We loaded up in the car and took Bill to see 1 of the houses that we really liked. He also liked it, the property is just beautiful!!! I applied online tonight for some home loans with 5 different lenders. The house is kinda out there, but it is totally what we are looking for. Now just keep your fingers crossed that we can get it. We took Jack with us, and it was funny watching him and the kids. That dog ran all over, he has never been able to run like he did tonight. He was so wore out when we got home. Bill keeps telling me to not get to excited, cause we don't know what is going to happen. But it is so hard to not get excited when all 4 of us actually agree on something!! It is about 25 1/2 miles from my current house up Hwy 79. The other house we found is 1 mile from the Warrenton exit.

Here are some pictures: They do no justice at all!!! The house sits on 3.11 acres. It would be great place for parties & bon fires!!! It would be awesome for a Halloween party!!



When you pull into the driveway.

The front of the house.

Standing in driveway looking at the front left side of house.

Standing on the backside of above photo looking toward driveway.

Backside of house looking in the opposite direction on the property from the above pictures.

The inside needs some updating: But everything is very fixable!!

The wood paneling would have to go bye bye!

Notice all the outlets in the living room, Bill said that is normal for these kind of homes. I thought it was quite funny, every room has a butt load of outlets.


Again the paneling needs to go, and some new light fixtures and faucets.

Again a bunch of outlets!

The bathroom is pretty nice, new faucets and maybe some new tile. It is a pretty big bathroom and Kayla loves the tub.

Well I am off to bed!! It is late and I need some sleep.
