***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!!
