Moving!

We closed escrow last week and are moving as soon as the house is ready! (should be next week) We are moving back to San Clemente and very excited! Its been fun and very exhausting getting the house ready. I have painted the last 4 days in a row and my arms are feeling the fatigue. The house has been vacant for about 8 months before our purchase so the grass is brown and the layers of dust and dirt have taken awhile to get clean...in fact its still a work in progress :) Its going to be an exciting time for us next week, one that I have anticipated for awhile now. We feel so blessed to be able to move into our first home and for Madison to finally have her own bedroom once again. I will post photos very soon! Here are a few random pics, (Sean didn't really appreciate our matching shirts and jeans in these photos but I'm glad he played along with my cheesy-ness!)

San Diego Zoo

Madison did not look at the camera 1 time during this trip to get a good photo, so here is the back of her head! At least she had a good hair day!

We had a good time enjoying all the animals this past weekend. I always love the Polar bear :) The only animal we didn't get to see was the Koala Bear

These elephants are huge, Madison loved them!

Inspection Week

We have our home inspections scheduled this week which is exciting, one step closer to closing escrow! Praying the house is in good condition and that there are no surprises headed our way as far as repairs. In the meantime, I am working on my discipline in the area of shopping! I am not allowed to buy anything for our "potential home" until we have the keys...which is hard because I already have decorations picked out in my head and since I am a planner, I like to start the process early and make wise selections and get good deals. Sean says that I have just about every paint swatch there is from Home Depot (which isn't true but I do have a good selection) and I have changed my mind on paint colors a few times in the last week so I really did need those paint samples..so  that's the latest and greatest with our house. Escrow has been a smooth process which we are very thankful for and anything and everything that has come up has been resolved and worked out perfectly!
