Mrs. Bush Has Her Dream Home

We moved! The Oregon Bushes are officially homeowners and home liver in-ners and it’s been an awesome 5 days of house living. House living, living in a house, a house is what I live in, etc.

Miss Rybolt helped us paint the living room and bedrooms the night before the move and then she and Mrs. Campbell (and Mr. Campbell, Mr. Reed, Miss Grant and Uncle Dave) helped us move in on Halloween day! Best Halloween ever! Thanks again to all our friends.

I will post more pictures of the inside of our home once I find where I packed the camera. For now, enjoy these pictures that Mrs. Campbell took on moving day!

Our awesome realtor Kim Hamblin gave us this awesome piece of her art (shown below, above one of our rad fireplaces) as a house warming present. Check her out at www.kimhamblin.com. She was an amazing realtor and I'm happy to report that she has become an awesome friend through all of this. Yay Kim! Thanks again!

So Tired

Well folks, it's not looking great. We still have not signed our closing docs for our house. We're hoping to sign them tomorrow so we still move in on Saturday as planned. If we sign on Friday instead of Thursday, then we won't be officially closed on the house until Monday. If that happens then we'll have to take a day off work next week and move in then. There are a couple things about that that suck ass. 1. I used up all my vacation time for the wedding, so I'd be taking a day off work unpaid. Not cool. 2. Brad can't take any time off on Monday or Tuesday because there's important shit going down in his office on those days - so we wouldn't be able to move in until Wednesday. Ugh. 3. We were supposed to be closing on 10/15; best case scenario means we're still closing a week later than we planned.

Oh well. Bitch bitch bitch. We're still getting that sweet $8k tax credit.

Argh!

Our closing date was postponed. We were supposed to sign the papers on Thursday. Now it's looking like we won't be signing until early next week "hopefully Monday". In response to the stress of all this, my right eye began twitching intermittently on Monday and didn't stop until the late afternoon on Thursday. Yesterday, I felt like my body had broken down. I was achy and feverish. Clearly, I handle stress very well.

After 15 hours of sleep, I finally feel better and while I'm still pissed that we can't get in to the house this weekend, I'm also still very happy that we will be in our first home sooner than later. This weekend was going to be all about painting the new place and ripping up carpet. Now it's all about boxing up our massive amounts of stuff and getting ready to move it 30 blocks down the road in to our new home. I'm so glad moving day is almost here.

Packing

Husband and I are moving in to our first home on the 24th. That means I should be packing right now, but alas, I'm doing this instead.

In my mind, married Joy would have been up hours ago and the living room would be vacuumed and the dishes would be stowed in the dishwasher. She'd have half the knick knacks packed up and would be organizing all the books so that when we unpack them they'll be in alphabetical order. Instead, I slept in on purpose so I wouldn't have to deal with any of that crap. Pretty tricky huh? Or maybe just irresponsible. I guess once you're married it doesn't mean you become a better version of yourself. Who knew?

Oh well. Time to put some pants on and deal with life.
