I LOVE my new house!!

I am so in love with our new house! Everything brand new....I worked my butt off getting the place painted. I painted the livingroom sage green, the diningroom dark green just below the chair rail, Lizzie's room lavender and Emily's room is pink with the gabled windows lavender. We bought a gorgeous formal diningroom table. The cloth seats match the paint purrfectly. Sarah, our cat loves to sit under the table on the seats.
The other thing we did was put up faux wood plantation blinds throughout the house. I still need to buy two more for Emily's room and a large one for the kitchen. Ooh and cleaning is so easy in this house! The kitchen just comes together! The only thing that is bad is we don't have enough counter space. In February, we are putting in an island with a mini bar counter. Then I get more counter space AND more storage.
You know what is really relaxing? My bathroom....I took TWO baths today in my garden tub. I don't think I have ever taken two baths in one day. Even when I was a kid! The decor in there is so perfect and peaceful. I am going with a beach retreat in there and in my bedroom. There is a bed we will be getting this February from the Cindy Crawford line that will fit it perfectly.
I feel mighty spoiled. You know what though...after so much hardship in the past, I think we all deserve it. I am going to conquer the weight monster this year as well.I am back in my motivated state. I am gun ho about it once again! Mike bought me this new game for the PS2 that I want to try. It is a workout game that keeps track of your progress. Between that and my AOL journal, I think I can do it! If I don't, I am not that worried about it. I am so at peace and happy right now that it just wouldn't bother me. It would be a plus though!!
