So um yeah we have our HOUSE! yayyyy!! We closed on Friday afternoon and started moving in on Saturday. And we’re still moving in! M and I spent the past two nights there so far, and we like it a lot! There are some things that I don’t like, but they are minor and largely cosmetic (the paint job in the living room is the main thing but then again I am very OCD about those types of things). I need to take pics still, but might wait till we move the furniture in since it’s boxland right now and the only furniture we have are the mattress/box spring and a bed that needs to be assembled, lol. Our sofa and loveseat, as well as dinette set, are on order and we’re picking them up this Saturday (my birthday)!

We also still need to clean some of the rooms, but other than that, it’s in decent shape. I was worried that the sellers were going to trash it when they moved out, and they did ding up some of the walls/curtains, but no worries, the house is totally liveable and that’s what really matters! As long as we have electricity and water, right? Our cable TV is screwy and Internet doesn’t work at all yet (thanks a bunch, Cox Communications), but they’re sending a tech to fix it tomorrow afternoon. Also, our grass in the backyard is scary tall, and we need to cut it because it seriously feels like a jungle to walk through at the moment.

I’m sad though, because since the house isn’t in a state of readiness, I haven’t brought my doggies over, so they’re still at my mom and dad’s house. I’ve seen them every day since I moved out, but not for very long and that makes me so sad! I’m hoping to bring them over this Friday since M and I are both off for Independence Day, or possibly Saturday after we pick up the furniture. I need my dogs though, yesterday I got so depressed because I had way too much to do and didn’t get a chance to finish my homework yesterday, plus I had a ton of laundry, I was tired of packing and am STILL not finished packing, etc. etc. Anyway, I feel better today, but it was a little lonely getting ready for work this morning since M left earlier than I did and the dogs weren’t there. But, I did get a lot of reading done for my class AND had time to do a load of laundry, all before work! So that was nice. Plus, my work commute is now a mere 10 minutes, as opposed to 20 minutes from Norfolk, yay!

I’m going to stop by my parents’ house tonight after work and probably pack another box or two, plus pet the dogs good night. Can’t wait to have them back with me in our new house!
