Kids back in school = lots of time to spend on the house. Yippee!

The kids went back to school today and while I shed a few tears (OK, a lot of tears) as I pulled away, because I really do love having them home with me, I also felt a huge rush of excitement because now I can really hit the ground running with this house!  I spent the first few hours of my new found independence working on our loan.  Ugh.  Definitely NOT the fun part of buying a new house.  But with those tasks behind me, I was able to sit down with a good cup of tea and pick out a crown moulding for the house.  That's more like it.  Meeting with an architect later today to go over plans for a guest/ pool house.

Pretty crown moulding samples our awesome contractor gave me to choose from
