The First Weekend As Home Owners!

This past weekend was our first weekend to own our home. In the beginning I thought that I would feel no different about our home because we have lived there for almost two years, but I am learning quick that your feelings change when something is your own! Richy woke up Saturday morning and enjoyed a game of golf with some friends, while I was laying in bed contemplating my day my dad called and said he was making breakfast, so as usual I invited my self to join them. My dad just recently opened up their pool so I decided that after breakfast I would lay out for a couple of hours. I was trying to relax but all I could think about was how much I needed to do at home. If you know me you know that I am not a cleaner... I put it off as long as possible and but everything else in front of it. So, I got out of the pool after 20 short minutes and headed home to start on my three hour long cleaning extravaganza. I was cleaning things that I didn't know I could clean! Now that the house is ours it is something that I want to take care of and that really showed on Saturday! Saturday night Richy and I ventured out to Lowe's where we purchased a new area rug, mailbox (with OUR name on it), and a vacuum cleaner. As soon as we got home we rearranged the furniture to accommodate our new rug. Sunday we went back to Lowe's and purchased new blinds for the whole house. A couple of the spare rooms in our home have been without blinds since we moved in... it wasn't our house and I had trouble wanting to spend money on something that wasn't ours...so now all rooms have new blinds. We have only made some minor changes but it feels different. It is ours and we are finally able to do things that make it feel like a home!
