Above the Fog

This morning I threw the ball for Strider on a very cold but sunny morning.

Sunny for us that is.

We don't avoid the rain, but I really feel like get more bright sunny days up on our little hill and it makes my heart happy.

So does this guy.

I would gladly trade two months of rain for a month of snow. The frost looked so beautiful this morning.

In other news, when given the choice between a nap and working in her little book, she chose the latter, the nap had other ideas.

So you want to see the house?

Bought a new batter charger Huzzah!

These pictures were taken during our final walk through. Don't ask me why I didn't a picture of the master bedroom, closet, retreat, playroom or office.

I think I was exhausted and brain dead from packing.

As you can see.

Let me re-phrase, Here are SOME pictures of the house sans furniture and things.

Enjoy.

Yesterday was our final walk-through.

If everyone does what they are supposed to do as quickly as possible we will be able to move in on Friday.

If not...

Lets just say there is a hotel down the road.

But everyone think happy thoughts for Friday.

You have no idea how many times I have very seriously considered, sneaking over and taking a bath in the middle of the night.

Master Suite Ideaboard

So I know I said I wasn't even going to think about my room until I had the girls rooms figured out, but I couldn't help it.

So instead of spending the day packing...

I made this!

I am going for an updated New York Hotel vibe.

What do you think?

And what type of curtains would you pick?

Happy Friday

I am so ready to be living here.

And I think I just my "relocate" some of the wild flowers that grow across the way.

Have a wonderful weekend.
