This is a word that has never been used to describe me by anyone that knows me. The 15th of September...close? yes...but yet so damn far away.
I am so excited to move into our home. We finished picking out all of our interior colors last night so now I want to get in there and paint NOW. I can't wait for you all to see the place...so beautiful.
Akai is a funny one...every time we have driven by the house she gets excited and starts sniffing like crazy...she smells the place on us...so she and I spent a few hours there a couple days ago. We threw the ball, marked up the yard, drank some water, did some people watching and even took a short nap. She likes the house and yard...she is the decider in the family.
First thing we will do to the house is add on a prison-style top to the fence. Ottis has multiple scars on his stomach from years of escaping fences. The only thing that has worked is to have a top that is bent in with chicken wire and posts. That should scare anyone from building on the empty lot next to us.
We are going to leave the exterior of the house the way it is until next summer. We have a few ideas for paint though....duh. I have a friend that is a Leadville history buff and she is going to check on the historic paint of this house...if we like it then we will do that..if not...reds, yellows and oranges...Casa De Fuerte. The House of Fire.
Must get ready for work now...the dogs are about to eat me.
