We've moved!

We're in the new house! I love it! But man, I'm exhausted. I'll have to post more later, but the heavy lifting is done!

Wait, did I say 2 weeks???

I forgot, the U Haul will be here next Thursday. That would be 7 days from now, and let me tell you, I am soooo not packed!
OMG! OMG! OMG! *turns on the coffee pot* It's gonna be a long coupla nights!

T-minus 2 weeks, and counting!

Friday, October 27th is the big day! (I hope!) We should be moving into our new house at that point, if we can get around the one and only kink in this deal! Not a kink on my end, the seller screwed up and didn't record his deed of trust to the house when he bought it last year, and so title is showing up in someone else's name. But I'm looking at this with a positive spin. We have our house rented out starting November 1, to a real nice lady with 3 kids, and she should love the neighborhood, with all the kids that are in it! I'm just thrilled that we aren't going to go for any time carrying two mortgages with no renters! These last 3 days have been devoted to packing and making all of the necessary small repairs before we vacate the area, and I have to pat myself on the back. I've done a pretty damn good job! Everything non-essential for the next 2-3 weeks is packed up and ready to go. We also have permission to start bringing boxes into the new house starting the week of the 23, since docs should be ready at that point. (again, barring any setbacks from said kink) I will just be glad to be moved and done, and I am so ready for it!

I'm. So. Tired.

Since Saturday, I have laid tile, grouted tile, painted bedrooms and halls, scraped popcorn ceilings, and various little other tasks. Tomorrow, I'm going to learn how to remove all the shingles off of the roof. I may be more tired tomorrow night!
