to me!!
A new house is a pretty good birthday present!
Our house in Starkville is full of boxes. It is like an obstacle course in here. It is also like a construction zone in here because the workers have torn out our bookcase to replace water damaged wood by the fireplace. I would take a picture but my camera is packed up in a box somewhere!
It's a pretty crazy birthday! I won't say which birthday this is but let's just say 40 is not too far away! Yikes!

Other Pictures
This is a view of the living room from the stairs
This is Carlyn in the upstairs bathroom which will be the girls bathroom,
Carlyn decided she had to be in all the pictures, so she would jump in front of the camera every time I would take a picture. Here is the breakfast nook that joins the kitchen and the hearth room.
Hearth Room
Master Bedroom
Master Bath-Shower
View in the Living Room from the front door.
Dining Room
The girls took a lot more and I took some too, but these were the best ones. Only 13 more days until we are living here!

These are some pictures that Noelle took at our new house today. They reminded me of the pictures that Logan took of their new house. I thought I would share.

Moving Update
Well Cindy says I need to give a moving update. I have been so busy lately. It is amazing how much stuff you have to do to move. Dean has been working mainly on getting the loan with the bank and working with our realtor in Southaven. I work with the realtor in Starkville.
We have locked in on a rate and gotten most of the paperwork done for the loan. We have settled on a price for the new house and the builder is going to put up a fence in the back yard and also put blinds in the house.
We have contacted the movers and they will be here on Feb. 22nd to start packing. They will pack that Friday and Saturday and start loading on Sunday and finish up on Monday morning. We are closing on the house in Starkville on Monday the 25th and driving to Southaven to spend the night in a hotel and close on our new house on Tuesday the 26th at 10:00am. Hopefully the movers can start unpacking that afternoon.
I have had a home inspector here at our house in Starkville and the appraiser here. Dean meets with the home inspector in Southaven on Friday afternoon. Apparently you have to be specially licensed to inspect a new house. He said it would take about 3 hours to do the inspection.
I have contacted an insurance agent in Hernando to get home owner's insurance on the new house and have our car insurance transferred to that office too.
What I have left to do is: get the girls school records transferred to Desoto Central, contact all the utilities and have them shut off on the 26th, clean out stuff (junk) that we don't want to take with us, work (my last day is the 20th), I also have a presentation at a church on Saturday morning. Somewhere in there we have to complete Carlyn's science project that is due Feb. 15th. I also need to find a job in Southaven. I am sure there is more stuff to do, I am just about brain dead though and cannot remember.
I can't wait to get this all over with and be settled into our new house. I can already tell the jacuzzi tub is going to be put to good use!
