When we moved to Cheyenne, they didn't have a house for Chris' rank, so they got special permission to put us in the next level of house. We are feeling crazy blessed! And I'm finding it highly humorous since when we moved out of our house in Colorado, I had decided I never needed a house that big again. Now, here we are in a house at least twice that size (and I'm not exaggerating)! Please understand this list is meant to bring a smile to your face. So, here we go:
My house is so big......
- that I actually got off on the wrong floor coming down the stairs.....more than once.
- it has two staircases--one in the front and one in the back.
- we often miss each other by going up/down the opposite stairs.
- my boys say it is hard to find each other in it. (Which is pretty true.)
- the boys and I decided to use walkie-talkies one day to solve that problem.
- I don't need an exercise machine, I just go up and down steps all day long.
- there are large empty spaces that we wonder what to put in them.
- opening and closing windows has become my part-time job.
- when I lay something on a set of steps to go up, it usually migrates to the next set of steps at least once before reaching its final destination.
- our computer desk is in the eating area of the kitchen and is not crowded at all.
- Jonathan can reach top speed running down the halls.
- you can feel the climate change as you move between floors.
- I had to have maintenance call me when they arrived because we couldn't hear the doorbell from the attic where we were doing school.
- I am convinced I will need to hire help to keep it clean!
