We are homeowners!

It is official, we are homeowners!! We closed on our house today, after much anticipation. We won't be able to move in until hopefully Thursday. The house needs some work, so we are having most of it done this week before all our furniture is in. We are getting all new floors, and new countertop and sink. It is going to look really good once it is all finished. Don't worry, I will post before and after pictures!

We actually got started on 'project Garza' this weekend. I use the term 'we' loosley. My husband is the greatest!! Due to my pregnant state these days, I could not be around the fumes in our house from paint/primer/wall paper remover. So Rob did practically everything by himself, along with our new neighbor Terry! He cut down a tree, tore up the jungle in the front yard, ripped out the current counter top (which was spray painted a nice metalic silver), ripped up most of the current carpet (more on that later), lowered the bar counter in the kitchen, took down wallpaper in the guestroom and primed it, and attempted to take down wall paper in the kitchen, which has 2 layers, so it is near impossible, so we decided to give that a rest for now and come back to that later. He is so great, I felt so bad for not being able to help, but he did such a great job, I am so proud of him!! Thank you !!

I will post pictures as soon as I am able!!

Congratulations!!! I know it's a relief to have that settled. Now comes the fun part - making it your own!

Congrats on your house! I'm guessing you haven't received the package yet, that is so weird because we shipped it weeks ago- whoever received it is a happy soul, there was some great stuff in there, oh well. I would like to ship something else to you so if you can email me an address I'll be sure to get delivery confirmation this time:) Thanks so much! :)Sara
