our castle...then

fool me once...
So we bought a house. A beautiful house. With a red door and tan wood siding (yes evelyn you were right it is definately NOT blue). The couple we bought it from were sweet, they were nice, they were motivated (silly me I thought they were motivated because the military was moving them). And I thought that this would be a beautiful castle for me and my husband to build our future....
and then we closed on the house and we didn't do a final walk through... stupid us. and the day came for the prince and princess to move into their new castle. but there was a problem- the residents that lived there before forgot to give them a key and then disconnected their cellphone... awesome yes?
well we got into the house, our wonderful castle that "supposedly" had been cleaned and carpets shampooed but what did we find? a very messy house, with patch work walls, blackened doors, nasty floors, and a fridge with drippy unidentifiable things in it.
so the princess became a maiden, rolled up her sleeves and scrubbed and wiped and bleached, she windexed mirrors and windows, vacumned floors and dusted blinds and it only took three days for her to believe that she could sit on the toilet, put her own food in the fridge and sleep in the bedroom... she still won't be going into the garage, that is the princes' domain- there is dust and possible little fury things living there or maybe just eight legged things but either way she is not going in :D
