I Am So in Love with Our New Home ... ..

Sept 23RD 2006

I know I haven't said much about the new home since we got it.
I have been really busy trying to make it feel homey. There is so much I still need to do to it. But that will take time and money that we don't have right now.
I just love the feeling I am getting from the house. That may sound crazy. How can you get a feeling from a building? LOL I hope someone out there knows what I am referring to. There is no bad vibes just good comfortable ones. Like this house holds many good times and memory's in its walls. I am not uncomfortable being alone in the house. I thought at first I wouldn't like to be alone in the basement. But I am fine when I go down there alone. Even my son Matt will go down there. Not alone but with me at times. I also thought the house would be to small for all our stuff. Wrong again.LOL I feel like I have more room to breath here.
I have had some strange things happen in the house but nothing to scary me enough to want to leave. Like doors that were opened when I got back. When I know that I closed them all before I left. Things that were moved from where I had put them. Just weird stuff like that. A window opened that was closed. I have heard knocking and went to get the door and no one was there. I have heard a little girl laughing and I have boys.
The house was built in 1875. So I know there is lasting memory's in this home. Yes I do believe in ghost and sprites. I welcome them. I know my mother comes to visit me often. I have a shelve of nick knacks she likes to move around. She knows how I am when it come to having things in their place. So she just messes with me. Her way of letting me know she was checking on me.
So you guys can think of me as weird if you like. But I am who I am. Like me for me or don't that is fine by me. To each his own. I would love to stay in a place that is known to be Haunted just to have had the experience of it. I love the show Ghost Hunters. When it was first aired there wasn't many hauntings they showed. But I still watched every-time it was on. Then they started to show things that they were picking up. The one that got me was the Haunted Light House.
Wow did I ever get off what this post was about.
Back to how much I love this house. Yes there is work to be done around here. I think all it really needs is alot of TLC. This home sat empty for so long. I remember I wanted nothing to do with this house when I saw it in the paper. Joe wanted to see it so I agreed. I walked into the house and was in love with it the minute I came through it's doors. I felt as if I had finally came home after years of being away. It was the weirdest feeling I have ever had. I just love how all the rooms just flow together. It is open and airy. The only major thing I am going to change is the color of the walls in the front room. I will change it from gray to a earthy tone,warm and inviting. I am thinking of sponge painting texture on the walls to add depth.
In the boys room the walls are painted a blue that's looks like water. I ran the ideal by my MIL last night about how I am going to learn how to draw Sponge Bob and the others on the show. I want to try to free style paint Bikini Bottom on the wall. She thinks that is a good ideal.She knows how much Matt loves Sponge Bob. and Hunter will start to like him to. I like to paint so I think I will have fun doing it. I will draw them first in pencil first to make sure I have them drawn right before I do it in paint.
Enough for now I things to do today.
