Answers (no) - House (yes)

At the end of last post I left you all with a list of things I was looking forward to. Here's how that is going so far (using the headlines I used in the last post).

3/10 - Final Walk Through of our House! Then FroYo with Alyssa and Elizabeth :)

The final walk through was just ok. It was the first time seeing the place without any furniture. I must say, Andy and I were both a little freaked out by how small it seemed. Very small. Like we are moving from one apartment to another. I just kept trying to reassure myself that it felt bigger with the seller's furniture in it, so it will feel bigger once we get our furniture in too. (fingers crossed)

FroYo with Alyssa and Elizabeth was much more fun! Elizabeth brought Charlotte... she is such a sweetheart. It was so nice to see them both - I love those girls.

3/11 - DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT (praise the Heavens)

I do not praise the Heavens anymore. Uggggggghhhh. Long story short. Started with x-rays, the x-ray tech manhandled my foot and caused such pain that I instantly started crying (and didn't stop crying until about 3 hours later). The doc said there's no sign of a break or fracture, but because I'm still having pain, he is sending me for an MRI this Friday (3/18). Then back on Tuesday (3/22) to get results and HOPEFULLY a freaking answer! And hopefully that answer isn't surgery... (please no please no please no). Oh and in case anyone is still counting, today is day 33 on crutches.

3/14 - We close on our house! Can you believe it????

Ok wait, first I have to show you what happened the morning of our closing. Birdie wiggled her way up my shirt and woke up me with a face full of puppy kisses. She is so funny!

Anyway, after almost two months of waiting, we've got the keys! We signed our names for 47 minutes straight, went to the hardware store to make copies of the keys, and we were in! We took Birdie with us to see her new yard (she loves it), ripped out his gross shelf paper, and greeted the Merry Maids who showed up to clean the new house. THANK YOU MOM AND DAD!!!! Merry Maids is one of the best gifts we could have gotten (especially with my foot busted still).

While the Merry Maids worked their magic, I went back home to elevate my foot and start a new book one of my awesome coworkers gave me. Birdie kept me company. Such a cute little snuggle bug. You'll notice I'm not wearing my boot in the picture. Trust me, it is still in use. I just take it off when I'm on the couch to give myself a break.

Later that night we went back to the new house. Andy has been taking things over in his dad's SUV (we traded cars for the week which has been a huge help). I have been working on putting in new shelf paper. So far I have the linen closet, bathroom, and 7 drawers in the kitchen completed.

We also had our first dinner in our new place (subs from Wegmans) while sitting on our new breakfast bar stools! 

And if you remember back at Christmas when we were visiting my parents'... Birdie found a puppy friend to play with in their mirrored closet doors? Well that same puppy came to visit in the sliding glass door of our new house!!! She LOVES to play with that puppy. :-)

 

Of course this is a busy week for Andy, so new house things are on hold until the weekend, but I lay in bed each night thinking about what we should do with it - it's very exciting, and a good distraction from my dumb foot.

3/25 - Good Friday (happy because the office is closed!)

Still excited for this. 

3/27 - Easter - I hope I get a basket from the Easter Bunny :)

We found out that Andy's parents are going to be gone for Easter, so I'm still excited for it, but I have no idea what we'll do now as we usually have a big family dinner. Is it wrong to go to the casino buffet for Easter?? haha

4/2 - MY MOM COMES!!!!!!!!! 

THANK GOODNESS. As Andy brings load after load of unpacked things (I was obviously planning to pack but it didn't happen - crutches strike again), I am quickly realizing we are about to live in a total disaster zone as everything is just getting dumped in one big pile. *cue hyperventilation* I need my mom to help me figure this mess out, not only because she is super duper good at organizing and decorating but also because I can be frank and honest with her (translation, if I get bossy I know she'll still love me, lol). April 2nd can't get here fast enough!

Looking ahead - hopefully I'll be able to share some pictures of our new place!! With furniture in it!!
