deep breath...
carnation drive had house guests.
this was a big step for me, to allow people other than immediate family into our humble abode.
i love our house, it is our home. that being said, it is not up to my living expectations. namely, our bathrooms. lets get real, 1961 called and wants its rusty bathroom back. however, when the call came in our bank account called in on party line and said "you are broke!", therefore no upgrades have been made on the bathroom front. it is so embarrassing.
with morgan's wedding quickly approaching i knew family would be travelling from out of state to come to celebrate with her. so, i sheepishly offered our house to trevan's cousin, elliot and whitney & they accepted. i was glad they did, but made sure they knew the situation they were walking into... our house.
all in all it was so fun having them here, and honestly we couldn't ask for better guests. i love whitney and had fun staying up late talking with them. jude and greta were in 7th heaven with stella, and keep asking when she's coming back. their baby malcolm was simply edible, and i could have used a few more moments of nibbling his chub! in the end i was so glad they opted to stay with us and they were so nice about our nasty bathrooms...

The company is more important than the accommodations :) silly girl!
ReplyDeleteAfter 20 years, our humble abode is 'guest ready'! I'm glad we didn't wait that long to open our home....so many wonderful memories have been made along the way!
Enjoy the journey!
OK, first of all, BEST HOSTESS EVER! Seriously, we love staying with Rog and Terri, but could it be that we've found our new favs? Our trip definitely went downhill after we left you guys (nothing against my own sister) not to mention our ever-endless supply of fruit snacks and variety of cereal was seriously compromised. Plus, we actually got some sleep, but who wants to do that on vacation? Not me.
ReplyDeleteStella and her plunging neckline miss Jude, Greta, and Ezra and the best sleepover ever.
We had so, so, so much fun with you guys including the late-night talks and Trevan's homemade breakfast. With all of your involvement in the wedding plans, we were sure grateful that you allowed us to stay with you and even more honored to be your first house guests! We love you guys too!
P.S. Bathrooms are not bad at all. I can tell because #1, I was there, and #2, Stella sat her tushy on the toilet without fear . . . and you must know that she has an irrational fear of other people's toilets. I'm not even kidding. :)
