My 10 favorite things about my new house

I know it has been 4 weeks since we blogged, but we moved. The list of the 10 favorite things about our new house:
  1. Windows - lots of them and they are really big. Sunlight is wonderful.
  2. Nice blinds over said windows - so I don't feel like I am in a fishbowl at night.
  3. My own bath tub - I don't have to share it with anyone but Paul, and he hasn't even gotten in it yet. And it is nice and deep for a really nice soak.
  4. My own sink in the bathroom - we both get our own sink! It has shaved 10 minutes off our getting ready for church time.
  5. I can see the television from the kitchen so I know if the kids are turning off the wii or whatever program they are not supposed to be watching and start their homework.
  6. A big master bedroom - there is room for all my stuff and all my Anne of Green Gables and Little House books.
  7. A walk in closet - my sweaters aren't all squished into a little sorter and might actually look decent when I want to wear them.
  8. Each child has his/her own room - they can't blame their mess or lack thereof on anyone else.
  9. An office space for the computer and shelves for my cookbooks - I used to try to shove them all in a cupboard and never could find the one I wanted. Now even my paperwork will be organized (hopefully by this time tomorrow).
  10. Bigger kitchen/more cupboards - I can stand in one place and whip up a batch of cookies without feeling like I'm going to trip over my child that is setting the table.
