Zzzzzzzz and "Grown-up Home"

I'm a little jumbled today. I've been back to not sleeping overly well again. Maybe it has something to do with dumping all of this stuff in my head out. Thinking about everything is keeping me up. Re-hashing some of this stuff is f**king with me all over again. I haven't posted about anywhere near everything yet, but the few things I have mentioned have brought all this other stuff to the surface.I don't know how well I'm dealing with this other stuff yet. Lots and Lots of layers. UGHHHHH
 Add to that we are in the process of making some pretty big changes to our house and you get Sleepy, Extra Cranky Me. I am really excited for the house stuff though! For the last year we have kinda been living in limbo. Deciding on whether to stay where we are or move. If we move are we just going to leave Akron or leave Ohio all together. Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. We tabled everything for winter, because we have moved twice in November and it is not a good idea ;) We have yucky winter weather here.
In February we started talking again. We figured out that we're going to stay put for a while. (A while we agreed can mean anywhere from 2-5 years) When we first moved in the carpet was awful. We ripped it out of the entire first floor and put in laminate. We replaced a broken window and did some minor repairs and painted everything. 3 years ago we totally gutted the kitchen and replaced everything.

God that was a lot of work. But I love it, we have a few finishing touches left to do. Purely design wise, we still have towels on the curtain rod and we haven't put up the back splash. We have done a few things since then, but with us in limbo we didn't want to put too much money into anything if we weren't going to be here for a while. Since we decided to stay the 'To Do List' has seriously multiplied. We are moving some rooms around, getting a new refrigerator, washer and dryer-that we are moving upstairs into a brand spanking new 1st floor laundry room, YAY. We are fencing in the side yard for more room for outside fun and entertaining. We are finally getting NEW furniture. We have used hand me downs the entire time we have been together. We started out as poor kids who took what we could get, as we got older when parents or friends were getting something newer we took the old. It worked. Now we are making a "grown up" home. That means we need a new couch :) 

Like Me our house is a work in progress. But its getting there.
