...only the best, BEST MAN ever!!!


You can imagine all of Ted's lofty ideas about what he is going to do with the place. Some of my favorite are:

1- Turning the office into a bar/game room
2- "Are these columns load bearing? They have got to go!"
3- Filling a guest room with balls so people can just jump in (like Chuck E. Cheese)
4- Having his father replace all the cabinets
5- Turning the entire second floor into a casino and allowing golfers to come and gamble in the middle of their rounds. (This was an elaborate plan that including putting a sign in the backyard along with painting lines in the grass for golf carts.)

I could go on and on. My response is always, "Ted, I can not wait to see how you improve the place." With a smile, of course.

House Update

Our new home is officially sitting, ready and waiting for us to move in. We have had no offers on our current house and little to no traffic. With an Open House every Sunday for the last two weeks and gearing up for another one this coming Sunday – life has been hectic. I will not lie, it has been an extremely frustrated process. I always try to be optimistic and look on the bright side of things, but I am starting to unravel from staging my house for so long. How do people do this when they have kids? I can't imagine...

I can't help but sit here and think of all the things I need to get (but can't afford) for our new house. For instance:

Kitchen Island:


Faux Wood Blinds:


A Beautiful Patio Set:


Just to name a few...
