Movin on up...

Well we're movin on up,
To the north side.
To a deluxe home in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the north side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.

Fish don't fry in the kitchen;
Beans don't burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin',
Just to get up that hill.
Now we're up in the big leagues,
Gettin' our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it's you and me baby,
There ain't nothin wrong with that.

Azaleas in our yard

ok enough of my shenanigans.. seriously though, we are gearing up for the big move just a few miles down the street. i can hardly believe that we're finally moving into our little abode!! a little sad leaving fairlington since it's been our home for almost 5 years but shoot, it's time! we are busting at the seems here in this condo.

our home (name TBD -- yeah we're naming it just like a beach house) will continue to be a work in progress but that's ok. we're not sure if the orange paint in our kitchen will stay but now it's fine... window treatments, wall decor, etc will come in time. our yard is super nice and green but it is begining to look like a jungle; therefore, buying a lawn mower or finding some neighborhood kid who works for pennies is top priority. im excited to try and turn my 'black' thumb into a green thumb....and honestly, im just excited to have an excuse to drive all the way out to merrifield family garden center. YAY :) greg is soooo excited too! he LOVES driving 45 minutes to walk around and look at random crap -- hey hun, at least you get free popcorn! any who's back to the yard -- we do have some beautiful azaleas, tulips and other random shrubbery. i am also going to be reading all i can on horticulture and also taking on a few projects around the house -- like stamping our concrete floor on our screened in porch area and also starting an herb garden. i also would like to find the PERFECT chandelier/light fixture for our eating area - modern chic. we do need some new furniture but i think we'll wait until our kids are past the stage of wrecking it -- you know standing, ripping, puking on, spilling milk, or just torturing our things for a while.

i'll post some pics soon of the house - probably one of the four of us standing outside in front of it - all in matching outfits, greg and colton will be in matching john johns and sulley and i will be in matching mom/daughter dresses! can't hurt to go ahead and get the christmas card pic out of the way --- or maybe we'll send 4th of july cards out.

ps - i wonder how long it'll take us to get our new furry friend!?!?
