I've attempted this blog idea multiple times and I always fall off the wagon... I'm determined to stick to it this time! (FOR REAL!)
For starters, we just bought a house.. and I am absolutely in LOVE with it! We relocated back in August, with intentions on buying our rental house this Spring. We'll just say after about a month of living there, we realized we did NOT want to buy that hole! So, the search began in October 2013! We fell in love with a house... got denied... Fell in love with another house... got denied again.. Then we decided to give it a rest for a little while and thought about relocating to another state so Kyle could get a much higher paying job, and gain some life experiences while he was at it! That idea sounded good but we decided to just try ONE more time ("the third time's the charm" kept running through our minds).
We set up a day of house tours and the fourth house we looked at was THE ONE. So we bid on it! After like 3 months of H-E-double-L.. the house is ours and I couldn't be happier! We moved in a little earlier than we wanted because that hole of a rental flooded but once the carpet people come and install the girls' floor, I'll really be able to make this place the will call home for the next 20+ years! :-)
Okay, so now that you're caught up with where we're at in life, I will let you know my hopes for this blog! I'm a tight-wad/cheapskate/frugal freak! I LOVE having nice things and eating delicious food but I HATE paying full price for anything! So you'll get to read about ways to save money and probably ways I have slipped up and spent more money than we wanted(like having this carpet installed next week UGHHH)! You'll also get to hear about all of the wonderful things my children put me through on a daily basis.... Like the fact that Adalee has a habit of pulling my pants off while I am cooking dinner and Kira turns blue and passes out when she throws a temper tantrum.. I'm going to be brutally honest about what I can and cannot stand so if you're easily offended.... LEAVE NOW! :-)
Okay, I'm done blabbing for now. Adalee is freakin' the eff out and it's time for me to drink some more coffee! I'll be back later to post my 45-day Meal plan & grocery list for those who are interested! Have a lovely day all!
