Now -
Since I am a girl who loves
Plans
Checklists
Order
My mind is whirling all the time
What to pack
What to weed
What to buy
What to save for
What to put where

And I literally put myself to sleep each night
Mentally walking through each room of the house
Dreaming of wall colors
Accent colors
How to put my mark on our Melody House.

Despite all my dreaming
I am trying NOT to spend money on
All of the decorating ideas that are in my head
--Yet--
I need to be wise.
I need to be smart.
I need to have patience.
(So hard for this impulsive girl!)

But I am making plans
And making lists
And making wishlists
And spending way too much time searching websites
(I love design and decorating more than I can say!
I just wish my pocketbook could match my ideas!)

However
There is ONE purchase I have made.
Those of you who have been in my condo
Know that I have decorated with vinyl stickers of verses on my wall
And I love them!
And this verse HAD to be the one that is going to go above the fireplace.

Here are my two favorite parts of our Melody House
(Basically because they are the catalyst as to the desire to move in the first place!)

The backyard!  (A place to send them out to run when they are driving me batty and where I know they are safe and secure!

The garage!  This means STORAGE!!!!  This means no plastic tubs of outgrown clothes and Christmas supplies and bed linens and seasonal clothes stacking up in my bedroom and kitchen!
