And the fun never stops.

So we've hit a small bump in the road of house selling.

Ok, so maybe not quite such a small bump in the road. It's actually a large bump. So tonight, I have no toilet and tomorrow morning I have no shower. Fun times.

So yeah, the white hole there? That's where the toilet should be. Anyway. Hopefully tomorrow the sub floor can be put back and they can restore some resemblance of tile. And then maybe once that's set, I can get my toilet back. And THEN after all that, maybe I can sell the stupid house and get MY NEW HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!

The “to do” list keeps growing and growing…

Busy days! How will I ever get it all done? One step at a time I guess. Right now the focus is on getting my stuff packed up and ready to move so that as soon as we have access to the new house we can get all my stuff out of this house! I love my little house, and I will miss it. We've had an awesome 10 years together. It's so cozy, and it's home. It will be weird to make a new place home. I will miss the train coming by every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. Cocoa won't miss that at all! I'll miss being only 30 seconds away from work. I'll miss being able to walk with Cocoa up to the armory pond so he can swim. But for everything that I'll miss, I'm sure my new house will have new things for me to love!

 

I'm getting excited about Christmas, but haven't even started shopping yet. Usually I'm almost done by the end of October. I haven't had time to think about it much this year! Guess I'll have to get on that soon. Christmas will be here before we know it. One of the first things I want to do when I get to the new house is get my tree up and hang our stockings. I've never had a fireplace before. Now Santa won't have to use the door!

 

I've also been busy with wedding plans. Or honeymoon plans actually. We're working on getting our trip booked. That's what I'm looking forward to most. After selling, buying, moving, and the whole wedding deal, we NEED a vacation. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!

and the circle is complete....

So.......not only did I fine a buyer for my house, but I found a house to buy!!! woo hoo! and it's the house that we've really wanted all along. So that means that I'll be busy over the next month packing boxes and getting ready to move. What a pain. BUT...I will be in my new house by Christmas.

Where did I get all this stuff that has piled up in my house?? As I'm packing I have several different boxes. Some go to the new house, some go to CCAPS, and some to the dumpster. Time to clean out some of this junk that I don't use.

What a lot of changes in my life at once. But I'm looking forward to every one of them!! How nice it will be to have all my stuff and all the dogs in one place. And to have Matthew in the same house with me all the time! Well until I kick him out to the shop for awhile anyway. :-)
