It really is so true! We too just purchased an old home with all sorts of flaws and recent (however lengthy) neglect. Within the first three months we have had to drain a great deal of our savings in order to replace the sewer line. No matter how painful it has been, we still love this house and feel compelled to take care of it, make sure it's loved, so that we can love living there for a very long time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-34533199430917466332012-07-11T10:02:16.350-07:002012-07-11T10:02:16.350-07:00@bbg Zadie is a Boston Terrier and Cooper is a Box...@bbg Zadie is a Boston Terrier and Cooper is a Boxer.

I almost bought a house because of the baby blue refrigerator from the 50s but it didn't convey:( <br /><br />As for the problem with the bunk beds/ladder. Our bunk bed's ladder is light enough that my 6 1/2 year old can take it down and put it back up when he needs it. I just do that to keep the toddler off the top bunk. store it next to or under the bed. By the time the babies are old enough to do that themselves you won't be worried anymore. <br /><br />Enjoy the house and all the decorating!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-19757842280504006072012-07-10T17:44:47.863-07:002012-07-10T17:44:47.863-07:00The house is HERMOSA (house in spanish, "casa...The house is HERMOSA (house in spanish, "casa," is feminine, I hope Esteban doesn't get offended). I love old houses, they have so much more soul. Not to mention, sooo much more character. I hope I find something like this someday!<br /><br />I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on the last name debate. I'm not yet married, nor do I have kids, but I've already decided that I could never change my last name. It's part of who I am, I wouldn't be me without it. Plus, my boyfriend has a totally common last name that would sound horrible with my first and second... I'm Argentine and have very Spanish/ Italian names. Anyway, I've thought of what I'll do when I have kids, how that will work if I have a different name, etc etc etc.Luciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236476278148780019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-32292608537329576402012-07-10T16:14:29.179-07:002012-07-10T16:14:29.179-07:00Sweet bong.Sweet bong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-7089409804365974022012-07-10T14:28:48.456-07:002012-07-10T14:28:48.456-07:00Esteban is muy muy gorgeous!

Take them down and all hell will break loose.<br /><br />Our bunk beds definitely saved space but now that the girls are 11and 8, they want separate beds. I understand the need for personal space BUT we still have the same house, same amount of space and two beds will simply make their room inhabitable (to me). They seem to have believed my constant saying that a bedroom is for sleeping, so to them, they just need room for the beds. Hm. Not sure yet.<br /><br />Anyway, yes, the house is lovely; I find myself just staring at the photos and yes, yes, I do get the oddness of looking forward to unexpected expenses even as they drain the accounts because look, ma!
