Where to start...

OK-I haven't had such the "exciting" and scary month Carrie has had, but big news we met with our contractor yesterday and the down payment has been received, some refinements to the contract has been completed, and we are signed and on our way. Now, it has just dawned on me how much work/decisions we are going to make.

I am horrible on decisions, I love all the options we have with this addition. It's going to be amazing and fun...we will be creating a space just for us...from the ground up. Everything from what kind of doors do we want to what color carpet, tile, etc. to where do you want electrical outlets and lights. And to me, all these decisions are scary. I hate making decisions with personal choices; at work its no problem; but when it affects me personally--I hate doing it. The options are endless, and there is always that little nagging voice in the back of my head saying, "Is this the end all be all for this, or is there something else that you haven't come across yet?" OK, that's why I wouldn't call my house decorated, just lived in. I need to come up with a theme (my mom's suggestion) and then build on it, and that's scary in itself. I think C will help make the final decisions, but I will be the one who brings the options to the table, and most time I end up not choosing any of those options. So, (here comes the favor), my friends that are so savvy on the internet, please help me find some websites that help me tackle the options and help me get a theme together--because I feel like signing this blog like a Dear Abby letter: A Can't Commit Decorator!

alive...

It's been a horrible busy month, and working basically non-stop for most of it...so my apoligies for not writing until now--almost a month since my last entry...

the month was quiet...and now I am going to try and start focusing on the house...more to come with color and decorating choices...

Sorry this is so short, but we are doing well...and everything is still the same...
