we live here
Whenever someone comes over, the first thing I want to say is, "Sorry for the mess". But I usually stop myself. Brian has told me to never say that. He says a messy house means we actually live there. That's a good attitude and I'm glad that's how he feels, but it is hard for me to not apologize. So, if you come to my house, know that I wish it were cleaner, but Hey, we live here.

Wise words. I feel the same way about my place :)
I always say that to guest, and Julie does an amazing job trying to keep our house a home. I think I inherited it subconsciously through my mother, she would say it to everybody (even my friends). I forget sometimes that I live in Utah County and there is probably a very good chance everybody's home looks like ours.
I wish I could come to your "messy house". I miss our times hanging out together!!!
If I waited for my house to be clean to let anyone visit I'd never have anyone over. I like my friend's comment, "Life is to interesting to clean house."
I love it! - I think I'll make a little sign saying "We Live Here." It's just perfect. I'm in complete agreement. I hate it when people apologize for a lived-in house.
*psst: I feel uncomfortable in super-clean houses... they make me feel guilty ;)
