Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 congrats! Shirley -- Our new home Yes, it really has been a busy time. It has all come so unexpectedly but we are really excited about our new home. Yes, we've just got this koi pond really looking beautiful and now we are having to start again to think of how to creatively install a new one in our new surroundings which have challenges of their own. But my husband is so talented in making places look great so I'm sure he'll come up to this challenge as well. I'm looking forward to catching up on some sleep once this initial hectic stage of making decisions etc on the land and home etc are made. We've been surviving on about 6 hours sleep a night and my brain never stops seeing building ideas. Hopefully when we see the builder this weekend to confirm final plans, life will start to calm down. I'm just hyper with excitement I suspect. (((Hugs))) Robyn Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Isn't it amazing how certain areas of land just make us feel that way? Yea it is. I feel like that here at our house. The first thing my Mom said when she came in the door of our house is "yes, I love it, it's so open and light and peaceful". Our house in Texas was dark and depressing and if you believe in the stuff, me and my daughter, my brother and others swear it was haunted or had bad spirits in it. I shudder to even think of it. Still to this day a will not go to sleep without a light on all night and I don't mean a teeny-tiny nightlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 I think there were friendly spirit(s) in our last home. Our pets seemed to sense it, too. But I didn't feel scared by them. P. -- Re: Our new home Oh, I believe in that stuff. Whether it's actual ghosts or just lingering energy from bad things that happened there. I've lived in two places that I'm quite sure were haunted, and the kids and my ex thought so too. Now Kayly's house seems to still have some friendly spirits hanging around. But that's different. I've lived in alot of different places, and some of them I loved the way they looked, etc, but this is the first one that I felt so at home and at peace the first time I saw it.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Yeah watch out for that...... you tell them over and over how you want it and they do it their way anyway. Later they'll say (when their way doesn't work) "Well why didn't you say something?" LOLOL Re: Our new home I wish I could persuade Jim to move into a restricted community wherewe could have just a bit more room (a community where you have to putin your own landscaping but they take care of the front.) Goodfriends of ours built north of Tucson a couple of years ago and it isso pretty...and wouldn't cost us any more than what we have here. He's always saying I don't speak up but when you've spoken over andover and over again on the subject and he refuses to listen, it justmakes me mad.Enjoy planning your new home. It's good that you and your husbandhave something that the two of you picked out together, instead of himhaving to feel like he's living in someone else's choices.Jane> > Dawn, Yes, my health issues are a pita.> > Yes, I'm really excited about the new home.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Yes, Jane, it is good to have something we share together. However, the experience is an eye-opener on its own. tends to take a long time to make decisions and then usually backtracks on them and wonders whether he would have been better off making a different decision. It hasn't been a major hassle to us up to now but with the new house we have to make heaps and heaps of decisions. Yesterday we went out to decide on brick and tile colours etc. We had already made some decisions about this the day before but when we went to confirm them we discovered that the colours were no longer being made. Yesterday I thought we had decided on our new colours ( & he made most of the decisions on his own but with my blessing) but on the way home he started to prevaricate and wonder whether it was the right choice. I find this so frustrating. I tend to make decisions (not lightly) and then put that decision behind me and move on to the next decision to be made based on the situation I am then in. I never regret decisions I've made - I just consider that they were the correct ones at the time so they are fine. It could be an interesting time for our relationship if we have to go through this difference of approach for every decision from colours to doorknobs etc.!

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 I hope for your sake that he doesn't keep questioning all of his decisions like this...it will drive you buggers before you get this thing built. Thinking of you and praying you have a fun time with this...not a frustrating one.
