The "House" of mini-me's: September 2009

October 9, 2009

The Corbin's will be owners of their very first HOUSE!!

I have gotten over my superstitions of not posting this, (thinking it would jinx our chances of owning this house)

A million photos have been taken of course, but to give you a look I am posting a few of most of the rooms.

The bay window in our lovely bedroom.... A great reading place!

The rest of our bedroom.....

The "girls" bathroom..awesome stand up shower with glass doors and a beautiful sink with mirror. (I'm not sure what the technical term of this piece is).

This is Miss Molly's Room, a wall is being built between our two rooms so that she is right next to ours. (OCD MOTHER!)

The "kitchen"...and the kick butt pantry!

The "boys" bathroom...ahh at last no more boy germs in my bathroom!

My "sun room" or maybe just a second living room...haven't made my mind up about this room yet. Its going to be great whatever we decide!

TJ's bedroom...

This is the hallway to the "great room", the door the the right leads into where another bedroom could be, we instead are going to make that our dining room..I think??

THE GREAT ROOM!!!!

after you see these pictures, you'll know why they call it the great room!

This is a little office on the other side of the wall...our plans are to cut it in half and make it into a bar...red cat, fresca/wine, beer anyone??

So in the end, this is the new house...anyone wanna help us move?? hehe.. There's more to it of course...the outside, the yard, basement(we want to refinish as well, a kick butt attic...a work room for my husband(who will never use it...maybe TJ can be my handy man??) Oh and the two car garage...this house is PIMP! Cant wait to get moved in, and working on making it my home...Any suggestions? I'm open for criticism...

on this Saturday to talk about what inspires me.

I believe I'm not alone when I say this "there is so many different things and people in my life that have inspired me in some way or another".

For this blog though I wont rant on about EVERYONE and EVERYTHING..(although I could ;)

I have thought about this for a little bit now and have realized that the MOST INSPIRING thing in my life is ME!

funny as it may seem I'm serious.

I'm competitive, creative, "inspirational to many".....

I grew up like most with a mom, dad and two sisters. Rough childhood, parents who weren't the greatest..actually terrible if I am being honest here.

I decided at a young age to venture into the great big world alone rather then live in a house with hate. I "inspired myself" to continue on with high school even though no one was there to make me get up and do it. I finished high school, and went on the graduate from college with a degree in early childhood. No parents to push me, just myself to encourage and stick with it. By the age of 21 I was managing "Claire's Accessories" making great money. Not alot of people at 21 making good money living on their own.

FAST FORWARD into the future...

Still successful, managing SEARS PORTRAIT STUDIO, (making even better money:)

I'm a mommy of two, one being a step son who I have consumed with taking the "mom" role. I am married to my soul mate, really I am and not alot of people can say that. Each of these people inspire me..I inspire them as well...Molly to learn, Tim to keep his chin up when things go wrong, and TJ to do good at everything he loves and to grow up to be a good man even without his biological mother.

Friends of mine will tell you I'm an old soul...

Maybe I am, and that's why I have a desire to make everyone and everything better...

I INSPIRE....I do INSPIRE...

I have been through alot, and maybe someday we can go more into detail...But in all selfishness, I am the most inspiring thing I can think of..okay not exactly but it fit!

I want to say thank you to a few who inspire me before I end this..

Tim-you helped me overcome a horrible disease of anorexia...without you I may be in a hospital or 6 feet under. You remind me everyday how beautiful I am. Even in the morning when I first wake..(your so beautiful baby girl) those are your words and even though I think your insane I love you for what you have done for me.

Molly- for letting me be a Mommy and giving you my all everyday, even those terrible two days where I think I'm going to pull my hair out. Your smile, your beautiful eyes, your strong tight hugs around my neck remind me that there is nothing I cannot accomplish in this world. Your my best friend and the reason for my existence.

TJ- for giving me the chance to love a way that most cannot have a chance to do. You test me everyday, yet love me unconditionally. We have a great friendship an' a love no one will ever understand. I'm so proud of who you are and who you are becoming. Your turning into a man everyday and I only hope I do perfect by you everyday.

Matt- for being my little brother that I have never had. We share a bond that no one knows...no one will ever know because we don't feel it necessary to share. Your the one I run to when things go wrong, and your always there. Your a beautiful soul that I admire. I miss you everyday Matty...I love you so much.

Jenifer oh Jenifer...my life long friend who will be there till the very end of this crazy life. The best friend that could go years without talking for just the plain reason of separate busy lives. But a phone call away when I need her. A strong women who too knows every thing about me. Who hates my advice and opinion yet knows its always right..that's the whole inspiring thing again..I think very highly of you raising those beautiful girls...and CANNOT wait for the phone calls when there teenagers...especially Miss Raven..

Buster Brown-my heart to yours..we started that 13 years ago. The good lord has you now, and I know you watch over me each and every day. The only one who wanted nothing to do with me when I cried (you had no sympathy for my crying, suck it up is what you were telling me) I loved the way you gave kisses...loved the way you would put one ear up to listen to my conversations yet acted like you were asleep...you inspired me each day to be strong, quit my crying and move on. You never let me down, you were always there. I am not scared to die any longer because of you, because I will see you at that moment.
