getting to the fun part

March 28, 2003

I spent an hour at the house today. The lighting fixtures arrived and I had to go through all the boxes and mark for the contractors which lights go in which rooms. The bathroom and hallway tiles also arrived. Mike tells me that the bannister is due in about a week. It’s so close to the end, that it’s getting very exciting. A month from now we’ll probably be living in our new home!

Right now the girls are going through wallpaper books, trying to decide what kind of borders they want around their rooms. I’m trying hard not to censor them. I want them to pick something that they really want, without worrying about whether or not they’ll outgrow it. I want them to have the rooms of their fantasies, just as I’m getting the house of mine.
