Planning Ahead...
Rob and I were talking last night about our plans for 2007... We really put a lot of thought and consideration on them and we decided on what's best for us... and we have come up with these:
* Delaying our plans of buying land to build our second home... (We've been searching the last few weeks, but we can't seem to find a great location!!! It's all about LOCATION!!!) We LOVE our home right now because it's really big for 2 people and it's so CLOSE to EVERYTHING... I can walk to the mall if I want to... I can get to several grocery stores in less than 5 minutes!!! I can get to work in less than 10 minutes!!! Our subdivision is surrounded by a bunch of businesses... the hospital's 5 minutes away, as well as some awesome restaurants... We just love living here... It's a great neighborhood and I don't think we're ready to trade all of these off just yet... So, we'll keep trying to look for a lot, with no concrete plans of actually purchasing it until after 5 years or so from now!
* In lieu of buying land, we're going to do some extensive home rennovations!!! (We both love doing this!!!)
* We're going to be building a de-tached second garage, that is big enough to fit Rob's motorcycle and lawn stuff... and serve as a tool room for Rob. We have a shed in our backyard, but it can only hold his lawn stuff for now!!!
* Installing granite countertops in the kitchen and the bathrooms, as well as new sinks and restoring the tiles in the bathrooms.
* Getting rid of our deck in the backyard and replacing it with a brick patio, so we can later add a built-in grill.
* Pressure-washing the front porch and repainting it, so I can finally put some patio furniture on there :-)
* Re-landscaping the front lawn and the backyard... (We need to get rid of some trees!!! We have way too many trees in the back!!!)
* Replacing our kitchen appliances with a black fridge, black oven, stove, and vent, and a black microwave oven to match our breakfast area.
* Putting crown molding on the ceilings--if we have time, otherwise we can always wait until the year after :-)
* And we're also looking at possibly installing a pool in the backyard in a couple of years... (And therefore, replacing our fence with a higher one!!!) Hmmm... this might make us stay at our current home even much longer than planned!!! But that's alright... What can I say???!!! We really DO LOVE our home... it truly is home, sweet home!!!
