cafeteria!! hahaha

I'm really grateful that I have a roof over my head, a fantastic family, and that I have plenty of nice things in my home. I am truly blessed. That being said.

I hate this ugly house

It's like 20 years old, and has these weird linoleum floors.

Thanks Army ;)

When you're an army family you get the option of living off post wherever you want and they pay you what's called "BAH".. it's supposed to stand for Basic Housing Allowance. Basically they give a pretty generous amount of money for a home depending on duty station, and rank. It should covered all your electricity, water etc. OR you have the option to live on post. Where they give you a home depending on the size of your family and rank and you virtually have NO BILLS, but they 100% of your BAH.

In Hawaii It's super expensive, the traffic is horrible, and there's not a lot of really nice areas to live that are near post. So we didn't really have much of a choice but to live on post.

When we moved here It was just Matt and I. The army generally gives the nicer homes (hardwood floors, marble counter tops 2 and 1/2 bathroom 3/4/5 bedroom) homes to people who have larger families and children. Which TOTALLY makes sense don't get me wrong. But sucks for me because we got a townhouse with weird cafeteria linoleum floors that is in desperate need of remodeling.

It drives me nuts. I'm constantly trying to find things to make thing place look less crappy, and make it feel a lot less like a cafeteria.

Today I decided to redo my downstairs bathroom. It used to be brown and blue, but I re-did my bedroom brown and blue.... so now my bathroom is creme and green....

Sigh.. I dream of the day we get to own a home and I never have to see these linoleum floors ever again.
