Wednesday is almost here!! We can hardly wait to close on the house. We already have plans to have our vehicles fully loaded so we can move a bunch of stuff into the house right away. Dusty and I still can't believe we are buying a house. I know to some of you this seems odd, but with the oil boom and the housing crunch, finding an affordable house in Dickinson is like finding a hidden treasure. People wonder what the secret is and why there aren't more hidden treausres.
The apartment living room has been taken over by a lot of packed boxes, but soon those boxes will be empty and all of our stuff will have a new place in our new home. I'm also very excited to have a garage. I won't have to scrape my windshield anymore and I won't have to run downstairs every morning to start my car...I will just have to walk out to the garage!! Of course, we will probably have to shovel our drive way, but that's part of the fun of owning a house. Hopefully, we remember to pick up a shovel at the hardware store when we stop for paint!!

***House Update***
WE ARE CLOSING ON OUR HOUSE NEXT WEDNESDAY, THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING!!!
If you can't tell we are excited. I received a call yesterday while I was on my lunch break. It was the bank to tell us the appraisal had been completed and we could proceed with closing. I immediately called Dusty. I then called the realtor to see when the current owners could be out of the house and from there we decided to an appointment next Wednesday afternoon to close.
Needless to say, we are in a frenzy to pack and I would much rather unpack than pack. Dusty has already done a little packing, but we have a lot of work ahead of us. I have brought boxes home from work so you can't say I haven't contributed. I just haven't helped as much as I could be.
I also went a picked out paint colors this afternoon. I still need Dusty's approval, but I'm not too worried. My mom is going to help us get our bedroom and the master bathroom painted as soon as we are done closing. That means the after Thanksgiving dinner we will not be watching football and I will not be taking my nap. I guess I can skip a year to get our house painted.
Dusty and I both continue to look for furniture since all we have is a love seat. I may have also found us a washer and dryer. I am so excited to finally not have to pay for my laundry and to not have to wait for a stranger to get their clothes out of the washer/dryer so I can use it.
The next couple of weeks are going to be a very exciting time for us, but could also push a few of the wrong buttons if we aren't careful. Either way, it is going to be an adventure that is going to make our two lives continue on one path. We can't wait to move and we can't wait to have our friends and family members visit us. I best get back to packing!!
