Moving!

We have (im)patiently waiting for this for a looong time.  We have wanted to be in a house for some time now but never felt the timing was right in the midst of school and not knowing exactly where we wanted to settle down.  A couple months ago we finally started our house hunt and fell in love with a house.  We saw several other to compare but just kept coming back to this house.  Our parents gave their stamp of approval and we made an offer April 20.  A few short hours later, some negotiating, and an accepted offer...we unofficially became homeowners!  Exactly a month later, May 20, we got a call from our relator that we close on Thursday...this Thursday, as in May 23.  We never thought it'd happen this fast and still can't believe we get possession in a couple days.  We are SO excited! 

There are so many things we look forward to with this house: our own backward, a swing set, a shed, a finished and updated basement, playroom for the boys, 3 main floor bedrooms, very little updating, our own laundry, a driveway, and all appliances included...score!

But with moving comes the exhausting task of sorting and packing.  I enjoyed the first couple days of it...going through everything, sorting, pitching, donating, organizing and packing.  Then it became monotonous and exhausting.  I feel like I'm making a bigger mess!  I've learned to live in chaos for the time being...  And now with a closing date a couple weeks sooner than planned, we won't have to "live with it" long!  After painting a few bedrooms and the main floor bathroom, we will be moving moving moving!!  Couldn't be more excited :)  Pictures to come...
