Thank you all!! We love it here and it is now looking more like home for us. Things are pretty well in their place. I am overwhelmed with the feeling of happiness and independence! It's a new home waiting for some new memories to be made! This is the very first time in my life that I have ever lived on my own, meaning no man..and I LOVE it!!
Marybeth..

..it's a lot of stairs...trust me!! I will lose weight for sure..or my mind, which ever comes first! :p Let me explain...
front entrance..laundry room...closet (huge!!)
down stairs to basement (teenagers room)...or
upstairs to dining room and kitchen...back door
upstairs to living room and patio (balcony)
upstairs to bathroom and sons room... (only 1 bathroom!!)
upstairs to my room...
upstairs to daughters room (we call the Penthouse!)
Most of the stairs are 5-6 steps.
The fur-babies are GREAT!! There is plenty of sunshine in this house so they don't have to lay ontop of each other to share a patch of sunlight! I mentioned before (I think) that my daughters school is about 50ft from our backdoor!! Soooo convenient. However, she is giving me some grief now like it was her first day in school! She cries and doesn't want me to leave or she wants to come home with me. The teacher says it's an adjustment for her now because I am alot closer than before (she was bused)! Today, she will stay at school for lunch because she gives me too much of a hard time about going back to school. The teacher said I should try not to make myself visible at recess time or lunch, as that will only encourage her to want to come home!
All in all...we are happy!
