we're in

I am tired, but we are in our house.  And all of our things are chaotically scattered around us.  I'll post pictures soon.  Hopefully it won't be too long before I can post new, different, prettier pictures!

and we have the keys!

Instead of having their regular Home Group meeting tonight, my husband and some high school boys are going to move boxes.  We ARE moving!  I'm watching some Do-It-Yourself home improvement shows this afternoon to prepare for what's ahead.

are we moving yet?

We signed papers today.  However, apparently in Washington that doesn’t mean you have possession of the house.  I should start over...

We are buying a house.  We were supposed to close last Friday, and today is Tuesday.  We’re still in the old house and living out of boxes.  This is not fun.  I don’t have any cooking utensils.  I have become aware of how important cooking utensils are in my life.  Back to possession of the house.  I think we might be getting the keys tomorrow. 

You know, the up and down uncertainty of this whole thing doesn’t help me get anything ready for the move.  I had almost nothing packed until Thursday.  I haven’t called about the chicken permit [yes, we’re planning on having chickens, but more on that later].  Also, I can’t bake anything, sew anything, or finish the hat I was knitting.  

I’m ready to move already!
