Not home yet

On Sunday, we excorcised in our new house. Well, not really, but I did ring bells throughout the house and light incense and do all kinds of voo-doo I don't normally do. As Gary put it, it isn't that we want the spirits to leave, just that we want them to find peace.

Unfortunately, we know way too much about the house's previous owners and even though we're knocking out ceilings, pulling out carpet, and painting practically every surface, some bad vibes remain.

So, in addition to communing with the spirits yesterday, I also hung out in the sun room and read a book while Gary worked on the house.

Slowly, it is becoming ours. And quickly, we will be moving in.

What did you do to make your house a home?

before the girls were born--it was sex in every room--we have moved once since they were born and the first thing I did was make a meal and we ate together--on the floor but we were all together

We make sure everyone's bed is set up like it was in the previous residence. Also, cuddling on the couch together is a nice way to feel cozy.

The books, the books! Unpack the books, shelve the books, arrange the books, admire the books. That's always what makes our house a home.

Sex in every room helps. Paint does wonders too, but it's harder work.

We throw my son's toys around and it looks like home. :D

Wait... what's the bad history of the house?

We have a blessing given when ever we move into a new apt.
