Happy closing day!

In a couple of minutes the buyer of our house will be signing all the papers, and Brent and I will really not own that house. It was very strange doing the final walk through of our empty starter house last night; it didn't feel real. I think everything will truly kick in once I have to clean the new house for the first time, and I will insanely miss the 900 square feet we once had.

The closing for the new house is at 4 p.m., and I am so excited! Granted, I'd be more excited if that meant we could move in right afterward, but a month break will do me good.

We are homeless

Brent and I signed all the paperwork on Tuesday to say goodbye to our Fairway house. It's weird that at this moment we technically do not own a house. Of course, all that will change come Friday afternoon, but it's still an odd thought.

In other house news:
- Very little is left in the house – just the random crap that will mix together in a box that I'll label with a "?"
- The POD is being picked up as I write this.
- Tonight is cleaning night and moving all food to my parent's house.
- Last night was the first night spent at my parent's house. It was different, but my eyes are on the prize, and it is totally worth it.

House #1: The Master

I still don't understand how Brent and I fit everything into this tiny room. Now that this room is empty again, it once again looks the size of a cracker box.

Excited for August

I can't believe I am getting ready to say this, but I am slightly excited to move in with my parents for a month. Yes, they will drive me insane, and yes, my drinking habit will spike, but it will also be a month of rest. And I need rest. I have been moving nonstop since the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend when we first saw house #2, and I am tired. I'm looking forward to this upcoming weekend, where I have no plans, and that sounds like the most glorious thing ever.
