My first post from our little home...

So... our house is finally liveable!

We moved in on Saturday, and it's a kind of excited, kind of overwhelming feeling... There is still a lot to do, and living in a project is both easy and difficult; we don't have to travel to work on the house, but there is still a lot to do before we can can come home to no work.
Nick and I are super happy to have our house as our home now, though our living habits will have to change once again; we can now put our travel kits aside and unpack for good! It is a great feeling, but it will take some getting used to.

I don't have any pictures yet of the latest finishing touches, but I will do a mini photo montage of the past couple of months leading up to our move in. It's been a long time, and it's strange to look around this place, remembering what it looked like (and smelled like) when we first did the walk through... Where I am sitting now, was where all that crap from the ceiling fell out when the took the drywall down... It actually moves me to tears, looking back at all the blood and sweat that was poured into our little house... I have been falling in love with it over the past couple of seasons, and it's amazing to think of all the memories we already have here for having moved in four days ago.. haha!

Now we can truly call it home, and it's a great little start for me and Nick. It's an accomplishement and a time in our life I will not easily forget. Thanks to everyone who helped. You have a special place in my heart! But it's not over, so don't be surprised if we call you for help!! Haha...

Pictures will come next week!

beckster said...

beckster said...

Oh come on! just because I'm the only person to comment in 4 months doens't mean you shouldn't update it! you have so much to tell! let me read it!!

beckster said...

I love you! I'm sorry! You have to answer me soon!!

pamero said...

Ha ha. I feel kinda intrusive, but I thought I'd like to also leave a comment: NEW POST NEW POST NEW POST. please?

beckster said...

Hi Kim,

I thought maybe if I just keep commenting you will eventually post a new blog. I always check, jeez, give me at least something....even a blank post with maybe a title like here you go stupid sisters. And then just nothing. I'd even appreciate that more than being completely ignored! You have so much to post about! If you would like some ideas maybe just send me an email, or a facebook message, you seem to have time for that these days, but no blog?! What is up with that? Well now that I've sent you an email on your blogger comment thinggy you better do a post! Its going to start getting a lot worse than this if you don't do something about soon! And by soon I mean ASAP you little monkey butt!! Come on!

Okay, love you lots!
And I miss you!

Love becky

beckster said...

Dear Leprechaun,

Please, please let Kim hear my cries and post a new post! It is all I dream of, it is all I want. Thanks you Oh dear Leprechaun.

Amen

beckster said...

Hey sister,

Hows it going? Thought I'd send you another email, just to check up on things at home. So whats the dealio with people not updating their blogs lately? Eh? What is up with that? Well, I really gotta pee, so I'm going to go do that. Nice chatting with you. I'll talk to you soon!

Love your sister

beckster said...

Seriously?

beckster said...

Oh hi Kim,

I was wondering if you were able to do that thing I asked you to do the other day?

Let me know! Thanks again!

Love ya and miss you!

becky

beckster said...

Wow..still nothing eh? I'm beginning to wonder if you disconnected this from your email. Because surely with all these stupid comments left you would have been annoyed into a post by now! Whats going on here Kim? I know you have free time because you email and talk to me still, so don't try pulling that on me! ha ha...oh boy. If anyone else is reading these that don't know me they are going to be a little scared of me. Or just weirded out...well maybe YOU who is reading this should start commenting to. Then there might be a little hope of something happening! ha ha Talk to you later Kimmy!

beckster said...

Hey, just letting you know I'm still waiting. Apparently everyone else has given up on you. So, it's just me. So freaking do at least ONE more post for me! Please?

Terry's Girl said...

Hi Kim....I stand behind Becky's plea for more blogs from you..

I will just beg a little for now but it will grow...

More blog please.

beckster said...

Oh look, after tonight you can tell everyone what a fantastic night it was!

Come on...you know you want to!

beckster said...

Even Pam got a post in about the awards! Come on, I want to see your dress that was specially made for YOU! And so does everyone else!

corrie said...

Hey Kim,

I just mostly check your blog now to read Becky's comments. Maybe you want to think about a change in blog name? Something like, The Blog on Which Becky Begs?

: ) Love ya!

Terry's Girl said...

Hi Kim, Me again....just checking in to see if Becky was still after you for a new blog..glad to see she is..Hi Corrie! Keep up the good work Becky.
Would love to see some pictures of you from the awards too.
:o)

beckster said...

An update:

I talked to Kim (blog owner) the other day, and comments are no longer hooked up to her email, for some reason....SO, she read them all. But still no bolg?! What is up with that Kim?

We'll get you soon enough!

beckster said...

Okay, now I really don't get it. I thought we sorted this all out?...Why elo-no-post-o?? Please?

beckster said...

Oh! I love finding new comments on here! It's almost as good as getting comments on my own blog. So when I saw this was up to 20 I was SO excited! But it was just a spam comment...too bad. Well it only took them 4 months to get to you Kimmy, so thats pretty good I guess...

If your not going to post anymore could you at least give us a fair well post? Don't leave us hanging with this "Pictures will come next week!" crap. And with an excited happy-go-lucky exclamation mark on the end?! That is just plain old mean. Well. Just so you know, I'm not a quitter (unlike you) and will faithfully comment on here until you give me what I (and so many others) want, or maybe I'll give myself a time limit of 5 years....Though I've probably already wasted at least half an hour writing comments to an empty website. I don't want to increase that time too much.

Here's hoping!

Terry's Girl said...

Yeah...what Becky said.
(Sorry Becky, I really have to get grocery shopping so I couldn't do the half hour comment like you, so I will just use yours for the time being in total agreement of course)

Hi Kim!
Can't wait to see picturse of the house! :o)

beckster said...

Hey, how was Brandon? Do a freaking post about it! Jeez

Damero said...

Hey Bec,

Brandon was great! Kim was there too (And she was great!), so don't let her get away with telling you 'nothing'!

Love ya Bec
Don

PS Kim, more posts please!

corrie said...

I had a great time in Brandon, Don and Kim were great, and I ate a lot of ice out of Kim's iced tea. She really liked the iced tea they had at the Double Decker. They came to join us at Clancy's for supper but there was no room (vair, vair, sad) so they ate at the DD. She had a club sandwich and didn't finish it because it was so huge. It looked delicious. She also drank some of my soda and lime, she said it was good. I wanted to buy her a deep fried mars bar for dessert so we could see what it was like but they were all out. It was kinda sad. And that was Friday night.

beckster said...

Oh man! That sounds like a good night guys! Thanks for letting me know about it on behalf of Kim!

So Kim, what are you doing these last four days before the big trip? Let us know!!

pamero said...

Yeah, it was a fun time!
Kim is The Sh!t!

beckster said...

Ha ha ha...No, she is not. She could only be considered the sh!t if she actually did a post. But I'm sure she's not so bad...To bad I have no idea whats going on in her life since she refuses to post!

Terry's Girl said...

ooooh, the big trip? I would love to hear about an up and coming big trip!
sounds exciting!
Hi Pam, Corrie, becky and Don!! Kim? Hi....

;o)

pamero said...

Becky, if you were there on Friday, you would have seen that kim IS The Sh!t...for real! She sang with Lisa, then with Don...and you couldn't even tell she was about-to-pass-out-tired! She just makes everyone she sings with sound waaaaaay better than they would have alone. So it's true. Kim is IT.

beckster said...

Yeah, I guess your right Pam. She is also about to win the "Most Commented On Blog That Hasn't Been Updated In 4 Months" award. I guess only someone who is qualified as the shit could do that! ha ha

Terry's Girl said...

What the blog is is going on blogger?
Blog it!
Blog this!
Blog that!
Blog them!
Blog him!
Blog her!
Blog you!
ooooh, sorry about that last one, it might be taken the wrong way. No meanness intended there!
Blog.

pamero said...

Ooooh, I agree, but I am almost at the point of saying, "Blog you!" ha ha. Just kidding! (sung in a very kim like sing song apology voice. hee hee)

beckster said...

Ha ha, Dona I love it! I will proudly shout at Kim: BLOG YOU!!! She is taking too long for me! ha ha so BLOG YOU KIM!!!

beckster said...

Oh my goodness guys. I am told kim is writing a new post RIGHT NOW!!! Can you believe it? Yeah, me neither. We'll see where this goes.

Terry's Girl said...

I was so excited to see that Kim wrote a new blog...Yeah! but at the same time a little sad that this family fun time will be gone.
Who can we pick on next?? LOL
Bloggers!
