yaaaay!!

we officially own the house, and spent all of yesterday cleeeeeeeeeeaning and fixing the small things that needed to be done. J and my dad changed the locks, while sarah and i scrubbed ridiculous amounts of dirt off of the floors and windows. i won't say that i like the housework...but i WILL say that it is a completely different feeling when it is your own property. there is a certain level of pride in it....even sarah was picky about the window streaks!
today J and Dad are putting up a screen door for the front door, while i stay at the apartment and pack, pack, pack. if anyone is bored, i am taking time donations. :-D or lunch. i'm stahhhvin!

ok, back to work! we'll be in the new house next saturday. :)

soooo...
sorry for the lack of blogging. i've been immersed in buying this house. but there is good news!!! we did our final walk-through tonight and everything looks fantastic! the closing is tomorrow at 2:30, and then we are immediately going to our new home so that justin can carry me over the threshhold! haha. :)
we are uber excited. this weekend will be a mish-mosh of cleaning the new house and packing furiously so that we can move officially next weekend. and then we can focus on other things. :)

like babies. :)

grrr

i'm crabby.

we're back from aruba. let the stress begin! i don't even know where to start with moving. ugh.

i'll do an aruba update later. i need to get on with my crabby self.

shout out

this is an official early birthday shout out to my laowra, for i will be MIA in aruba (hopefully not with a scary dutch arubian guy who wants to throw me over the side of his boat).
