Well, it looks like we're going to need to bribe our movers with food! :)
Frankly, it's a little disappointing that we only got an e-mail
confirmation from one set of movers (thanks Dawn and Jamie), but I know
there are more of you out there, so it's ok. As the moving date edges
closer, we'll be looking for some more firm commitments from all of you.
And all of you "no" voters, we'll just assume you're in England and you
can't make it :) |

Due to Gary's absence last weekend, we had to continue the
poll on for an extra week. Looks like everyone wants us to at least paint
the walls sometime. We're just happy that nobody said that they didn't
care at all :) We'll probably wait and see when the final closing date
is. If it's earlier than the 18th, we'll do some painting. Otherwise,
we'll wait. We really want to move in on the 19th of January. |

| The vote
on this poll was a little split (and many of you didn't even show up to
vote on this -very- important poll!.) Since we can't afford to buy things
for all the windows in the house we (mostly Deby) are going to try and
make some curtains for the most important windows to start with and then
see how it goes from there. |

| We'll go with the crowd on this one and
carry on with our polls. However, it's disappointing to know that 7 of
you don't love the polls! Nobody has fessed up to it yet though, so we
don't know who voted that we take a break. Don't worry though, we'll find
you! ;) |

| Don't think your vote doesn't count, we've decided we are
going to have the same carpet for all the upstairs rooms. Sometimes we
just need a little help making the decisions. |

| Well, I'm allowed to
have one but for some reason I have to wait until the important things
have been bought. You know, like places to sit, and tables to eat at...oh
well. |

| Gary is still holding out for the surround sound, and while
it would be nice, the table is going to have to be a top priority.
Although, the welcome mat would make a nice housewarming gift, in case
anyone was trying to come up with something. |

| Since the living
room is the first area in the house that people see, we'll probably end up
doing something to that room first. We were going to start out with the
dining room, but thanks to Grandma Helen's dining room table and chairs,
that area will wait and we'll get some couches and end tables first. I
guess since there was only one vote for the guest room, it means that we
won't be having any visitors soon :-( |
