You would think I would be used to it by now! Yes, uncomplicated would be great, but I don’t know it is ever going to work that way for us…LOL. I found the cutest little light for my closet…it’s not a chandelier in the normal sense, it is more of a 4 sided hanging light, but it worked perfectly in there. I think (but can’t remember…too much going on) I posted a photo of it on Instagram prior to getting it put in place. I can’t wait to see all the changes in your bedroom! Hope you have a most wonderfully blessed Easter!

I'm glad you're feeling better, at least. Ugh, I wish the moving in process had been easier. Heaven knows, you deserved an uncomplicated move!

I’m just glad to have some of these problems settled and to be feeling better. It was awful to not even be able to stay there or to enjoy the house.

I’m a big baby also but I was so determined to get into this house. I told the hubster if he even mentioned moving to me he would probably get a sock in the jaw! 😊 And yes, water/plumbing problems are the worst…I was very concerned about that issue also and was so thankful that my inlaws house was not too far away.<br /><br />Thank you very much! I noticed that we had similar tastes also because I just love your furniture!! It’s so pretty! Thank you again…I’m hoping life settles down for a bit so I can get my rear in gear and get my “to do” list started.

The hubster likes having his garage space and outdoor space, and I get that. We hope problems are done and that we can now get down to business and change out a few things. Thank you so much Miss T….you are so sweet! He is a great guy and has been awesome through the entire process!! I’ve definitely had to rest and take it easy…the body dictates.

I am so sorry that you had so many mishaps with the move. I hope that they are all straightened out now. I also hope that since it's been a few days since you wrote this, you are feeling even better. Congratulations on the house. It is beautiful and I know once you are feeling better and get settled, you are going to enjoy it.
