Flip That House

I am getting ready to move back into the house I grew up in as a child. My Dad has rented it out to family members for several years. I lived there for a couple of years when I returned home from Valdosta. Since then it has been home to my cousin Mandi and her husband, then my older sister and her crew. Needless to say, the house needed a little work.
My Dad and I have taken on the project of renovating the house on a tight budget. What an adventure this has been. Every room has been painted, new carpet has gone in, we had bead board panel and a chair rail put into the dining room, every fan blade has been dusted and globes washed, 5 years of oak tree leaves removed from the yard, kitchen cabinet doors replaced, appliances scrubbed... you get the picture.
The movers come Friday to move Jessica and I out of the apartment and into the house. I can't wait!
I will post some pictures once we get moved in and boxes unpacked.

Bleeding Love


If you haven't heard the song "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis, you must go to iTunes and download it. This song basically sums up my life and the love that I have rediscovered in the past year.

I heard an incredible quote today, "My mate has finally met my soul." This is where I am right now...at this point of discovery. I have put it all out there. Its on the table, by heart is exposed and I am vulnerable, but surprisingly enough, I am not scared. I am anxious to see where my life goes from here, I am living in the moment but am looking forward to the future, whatever that may be.

I wish you all the love and happiness I feel in my life right now!
