Happy day.

You know how sometimes you have days where you're just happy to be you? You feel like things are good and you just really appreciate everything you have? Well today was like that for me.

We went to pre-marital counseling (required in the Episcopal church) and went over mostly little details like where we'll be standing during the ceremony (on the main floor with the guests or up the stairs ect). Then we went to go look at my grandmothers house.We're talking about moving in there. It's in pretty bad shape and my parents would have to update it to be able to a.) sell it or b.) rent it. So they posed the idea to us of having us move in and renovate without having to worry about mortgage or rent on top of renovation costs. We think we're going to do it but it was really weird being there. I'm hoping it will be less weird once we kind of make it our own. Here are some pictures of the house:

Front of the house. Never really used as the front though because the only place to park is in the back.

We're thinking of doing a "u" driveway and then adding a carport on the left of the house for our cars.

This is the back of the house:



and this is used as the front door:



When you walk in that door this is what you walk into (the living room):

Here we just want to replace the floor with hard wood and paint the siding white.


This is the kitchen:

What we want to do here is pretty easy, take out the floors and replace with tile. Re-surface the cabinet doors and later on punch out the kitchen door a few inches on either side.

No more pictures because it's crazy messy in there and it's really weird for me to post these. Feels weird I'm taking over her space but the idea of a stranger being there and just not knowing what they're touching or throwing away really bothers me. This is such an emotional time. Over it.

After we looked at the house we went to pizza joint and had a slice of pizza and beer. Good ending. Clayton comes into town tomorrow! Super excited to see my bro.
