Yesterday afternoon I spent about 5 hours cleaning our condo getting it ready for our tenant to move in on Thursday. This was actually the 2nd time I had been over cleaning, the first time Jim and my wonderful helper of a brother were there with me. I am easily distracted and didn't get a whole lot done. So I ventured over yesterday after Kite Day and got to work!
As I moved from room to room I was reminiscing about all the memories that were made in that home. It was the first property Jim and I purchased together and it was Riley's first home. Jim and I put a lot of work into our little condo, we had such pride of ownership and although it was small, we loved it. We redid the kitchen cabinets, put up the backsplash in the kitchen, redid the floors, hung new light fixtures, painted, etc, etc. Jim actually learned alot of what he knows from experimenting on our condo, which has definitely paid off in our new home.
I love our new house but it's double the size with the same amount of furniture so it doesn't really feel like home yet but we are starting to work on putting things up on the walls this week and redo some wicker furniture for the patio. Riley and I spend SO much time in the backyard that I want it to be an extension of our home. It's so cute, we drive up to the house and Riley stills says, "Yay mommy, new house!" It warms my heart.
