They are leaving a swing, big playhouse, and sandbox along with a bunch of other stuff &#8211; it is seriously going to be like Christmas the week we move in for the girls. For me, too!<\/p>\n<p>I really love the house. After being there again today, even the wallpaper in a few of the rooms that I originally thought we should take down or paint over, really isn&#8217;t so bad.  And, I got a chance to really look at the closet\/storage situation. Heaven! Every closet is bigger than the last, and they all have built-in drawers and shelves. Each of the girl&#8217;s rooms have built-in shelves.\u00a0 We have a cedar-lined closet in our room. It is just so perfect. I feel so incredible lucky to have found it &#8211; or I guess lucky to know a person that could help us find it.<\/p>\n<p>So anyhow, I&#8217;m feeling lazy about writing today and really feel like I need to be getting my act together, especially after seeing the house again. The move is coming soon and I have a lot to do.<\/p>\n<p>Plus my bloglines just &#8220;lost&#8221; all of my blog addresses. All of the blogs I love to read. I guess it is just the universe&#8217;s way of telling me I should be doing some work instead of goofing off.\u00a0 If you are reading this and have a blog&#8230;leave me a comment, please! I need to find all of my blog friends again. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, here are some pics of our new place. I didn&#8217;t take any of the inside, but I will as soon as it is empty!\u00a0 (This is mostly for the Michiganders and family&#8230;since you are the most interested in what our new place looks like.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.files.wordpress.com\/2007\/03\/full_house.jpg\" title=\"full_house.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.files.wordpress.com\/2007\/03\/full_house.jpg\" alt=\"full_house.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is the view from the street looking toward the front door.
