This is my space where I write a blog every few days about my life as a woman of God. I will just write as a passion, and as a way of letting you know what's going on with my life.

So, yesterday, David and I got to see the same house that we're going to be buying soon! We got to Allegany at 10 am and didn't get home until 4:30...long day! Anyway, we headed to Jamestown with the sales guy Sean around 11. He started using his printed mapquest directions and we kinda couldn't find our way to the house, so, David got the GPS going and we found it! I think Sean was sold on it, he kept saying "Oh, man, I gotta get one of those." So we got to the house and it had a garage so the house actually looked smaller than what we're expecting. The foyer was perfect, so perfect, not too big and not uber small either. I think we're getting a glass window in the door, pretty! The nitch wasn't what I expected, it was kinda cool, we're going to put a globe clock there, or some sort of standing clock. The living room is massive, well, not as big as my parents' but it's bigger than the one we have now! The living room and dining room will have nice large windows, which I love! There was a open arch space in the wall between the living and dining room but we don't like that so we're just going to have it solid because we want a hutch to go in the dining room. The kitchen is so nice! I'm psyched about having a new fridge, stove, microwave.....and....wait for it....a dishwasher! There's not too much cupboard space, which is nice because then I can really find out what I need and don't need. I will have a cabinet thing downstairs for appliances that I don't use every day....crock-pots, hand mixer, food processor, popcorn popper, etc. I will actually have space for spices and utensils...like actual drawers. The spices are in a drawer now but the utensils are actually stored in vases on my counter, which is pretty but I like to have uncluttered counter spaces.....well, unless I'm living here. There is a office/desk/computer area kind of in the kitchen but off from it and we're opting out of that and since the water heater is not going to be there and will be downstairs, we can make that area a little breakfast nook. Oh my land, I can't wait to get our house.....sooo excited! I took Deb for a walk on our land and showed her where the house is going to be...she really liked it. It's so peaceful up there, such a blessing! I wish I could load pictures but I don't know if they'll do the house justice at all!

So, I've been thinking a lot about money making opportunities (from home) because I don't know if the nursing pads are going to take off or not. At Hot Dog Day, I didn't sell one pair! David made all of the sales, maybe because I'm not all that great of a salesperson the way David is. I've never been very good at trying to convince someone to buy something, even when I worked at Kmart and I had to ask customers if they wanted to buy the stupid replacement plan for a something as simple as a toy, I kid you not! Anyway, I've ran numerous ideas through my head, even selling my pies to restaurants, but that is a lot of work because you need certain things, like permits. Sometimes it means you have to have inspections and I definitely don't need to be doing that sort of thing! The last thing I've thought of is selling a sort of food but I might not need anything like a permit to do it, we'll see, I'm going to look into it, especially if the nursing pads don't do something.
