It looks Questionable to me

It looks Questionable to me

I think we are officially moved in. We slept in our new house for the first time last night. Most of my stuff is somewhere in the house, barn, or moving trailer. It took about 5 minutes just to find a pair of shoes to wear to work. I was more emotional leaving our apartment than I thought I would be. It was my home for 3 good years. And I am generally anti-change, even if it is for the better.

 

This, this right here is some questionable mattress hauling.
Good news, it made it.  

 

We really haven’t gotten to start on any of the fun stuff yet. We are still lugging boxes around, with far too many little projects to get done, before we can start on any farm improvements. Paul is going to build me a clothesline in the interest of keeping our electric bill low. For jeans and blankets and the stuff I usually have to dry twice in my little old dryer.

My wonderful dad laid my bedroom carpet, so the bedroom is done, except for paint. It is such a nice fluffy carpet. I love it. We were going to get the guys at the hardware store to do it. But they were going to be such a pain about it. They wouldn’t just take our measurements, and they wouldn’t let us use cheap carpet pad. (Yes, I am aware the pad is cheap. Yes, I am aware it won’t last very long. Are you aware I am on a budget, and just want something cheap and clean right now?

I also got him to do a few other projects. We are going with a coastal or beach or something theme in our bedroom and bathroom. So I opted for rope pulls instead of the previous brass ugly cabinet pulls in the bathroom. He drilled out the holes for the ropes. I don’t have any “finished” product photos yet, well, because nothing is currently finished. There is stuff everywhere. My mom organized my kitchen this weekend. The layout of it is a little weird because the fridge doesn’t fit in the fridge hole. So it is kind of taking up a lot of space right now.

Sassy

Sissy

OH yeah, best news. We got the first new additions to our farm this weekend. Two barn kitties. My mom decided on the names Sissy and Sassy. Right now they are too little for the barn so they are going to be spending a month or so inside. We have seen the snake skins in the barn, so they would be his lunch easy. Paul says the snake will leave as it gets colder. Fingers crossed. 

I chose females because they will have to be fixed, and fixed males just get fat and lazy. And the females are the best mousers anyways. They will probably be mostly outside cats. To keep the mouse population down. With that being said, one of our first projects will be a doggie door into the kennel for our dogs. So I am assuming the cats will meander in eventually on cold nights. 

We watched the lunar eclipse last night on our front porch. We decided it was a good sign on our very first night there. It was amazing. You can see the stars so clearly out in the country. I didn’t bother to try and take an awful cell phone picture. Those never come out looking good. All in all a very good weekend. All in all this will be a good home too.
