things that are making me happy today

Tuesday, April 22, 2008

It's the little things but gosh darn it, if they don't make me giggle with happiness.

1. I have a porch. I HAVE MY VERY OWN PORCH! Sorry I felt like that deserved to be repeating...loudly.
2. I have an awesome window for my Christmas tree. Is it wrong that I already have my outdoor Christmas decorations planned? I can't help it because I now have a porch!
3. There is a ceiling fan in almost every room of my house.
4. My car gets to be parked in a garage. I bought that car brand new (they even pulled it off the showroom floor for me). It has never been parked in a garage. I also keep thinking about how amazing it will be to get groceries and not have to carry the bags up a flight of stairs.
5. The natural light in the house is about a hundred times better than my little dungeon of an apartment. The random pictures I take are going to be so much easier.
6. I can plant flowers, plants, trees...whatever I want. I really want a blooming tree, a lilac bush, a peony bush, flowers for the front. I did find out that we will have our own grapes!

We spent a lot of time at the house last night getting stuff cleaned out (although everything is remarkably clean). My dad moved an outlet for us (thanks again dad). My mom scrubbed a few doors and baseboards (something I probably never would have done). I'm thinking that the move on Saturday isn't going to be too bad at all because we'll probably have so much moved this week!

Edited - I uploaded a bunch of pictures to flickr and tried to make notes and descriptions.
