Moving, decorating and battling with Miss Riley

I have been busy the last few weeks with work, Riley and planning the big move.... Well not really a big move its just down the street. However; this move will be much better than the last one 2 years ago, which left a sour taste in my mouth. I hate change and I truley hate moving. First we can take our time... get all the improvements done now and move 1 room at a time.. The second reason this will be a better move than the last............ I wont be living out of an RV in front of my parents house for two weeks because our other house closed and "I" couldn't find a home I was happy with. Me, Riley and 3 dogs, two weeks in an RV (not fun)... luckily "B" was in Vegas for SEAMA. Did I mention I had to move the RV every 72 hours to avoid the city ticket! Argh..

Any who I'm looking forward to the GIANT back yard (more pets?), 12' block walls all the way around and the best part not being surrounded by 2-story neighbors. No one to complain that my frogs are in their pool again (what nerve)... No more listening to the neighbors dog bark from 8 to 9 every morning. HELLO to privacy and the sweet sound of birds chipping. Oh gosh I cant wait!

So now I'm choosing paint colors and flooring... Going to try wood floors and some carpet. I will probably regret this decision because of the dogs but I'm so tired of tile. It is looking like the week after Thanksgiving will be the official move-in, because I'm not going to forfeit the annual poker run and Thanksgiving dinner in Havasu.

Ohhh and Riley has some serious opinions of the decor of her new room. She wants animals painted on the walls with matching animal curtains and bedspread. I tried to sway her towards zebra print with lime green or hot pink accents... She wont have it, so I'm sure she will have the most hideous room ever. But hey whatever makes her happy.. Right?
