Our Married Life

Either I didn’t sleep well, or my nap on the couch this morning wasn’t so good, or my back is sore from being hunched over boxes all day. “I” am 75% done with packing. Brian on the other hand, not sure. He’s the slow in the family though, so I didn’t expect much. I didn’t realize I had so much kitchen crap. I’m already throwing away some stuff, but I think I have about 6-7 boxes full of kitchen stuff. I’ve consolidated some of the unopened wedding gifts into bigger tubs, so the office is slowing starting to clear out, as you can see in the first two images.

When Brian brought home about 20 tubs, I thought that was too many. We have about 8 of them left and we still have stuff to pack. Anyway, I hope I don ‘t have real work to do this weekend. It would ruin the nice 3 days we have off until July 4th. Boo.

We’re having our walkthrough on Monday, and I’m super excited. We haven’t been in the house since the inspection. As much as I like this area and this apartment, I think we’re both ready to get out of here. Things are finally starting to fall apart, the sink is starting to leak and the fridge hardly works anymore. I need to find a maid service so we can get this place cleaned up after we’re gone. I certainly don’t want to it myself.

We move in 9 days. We’re about 10% packed. Ugh, moving sucks. Thankfully though, we don’t have as much as I thought we would. Other than organizing all the little stuff, it’s still not that bad. It’s definitely something we can accomplish by the end of this long weekend. There’s still other things we need to do. Contact the utility companies, cable, telephone, security, blah blah. Change our addresses. Geez I guess it is alot. I hope it doesn’t rain when we move. We’ve been lucking out on the rain this season, but I definitely don’t want to see it on the day of, nor do I want it to be muggy. I will be one useless, unhappy camper if it was.

Thankfully we haven’t unpacked most of our wedding gift, so those would be easy to organize and pack. I need to make an inventory list in case we lose stuff for any reason.

Anyway, we close next Wednesday. It’s pretty exciting. We’ve got our rates locked down, and the paperwork is slowly coming through to us for review.

I hope Reesey adapts well to do the new house. She became a super brat after we moved into this apartment 3 years ago. Speaking of which, I can’t believe it’s been three years, but still, I’m excited about our new house.

I hope my taking off a couple days next week won’t be too big of a deal. I hate leaving my clients at the hands of someone else. In other news, we also bought a new king mattress and bed. Woot. It’s scheduled to be delivered the Saturday after we move. Our next big purchases are the fridge which I think we’ll stick with Best Buy since they are my client and I must remain loyal to them. The other is the gameroom seating. We’re looking for something cozy and low maintenance since we’ll be spending alot of time watching tv.

That’s it for now.

It sucks being sick. I woke up last Saturday with a sore throat. The next thing you know I was starting to cough really bad on Monday while I was at work. I then got a fever. Had to work until 8 and by the time I got home my body was so exhausted. Then the rest of the week I was pretty much swamped so of course my body had no chance to relax. I finally stopped by CVS on Thursday (worked late then too) to get some cough and cold medicine because I was sick of coughing all day at work. It’s still not gone, but not as bad.

Brian’s travelling for work on Monday and Tuesday, so I’ll be all alone. Poo.

In other news, our real estate agent said that the fence on the house blew down after this week’s storm. I guess that’s not too bad and they’re going to fix it.

Anyway, I can’t believe Saturday is almost over. We both woke up early this morning but napped in bed until 10 while Reesey was pissed off because she wanted to play. Then we went up to Stonebriar just to walk around and stopped for some margaritas at the Blue Goose in honor of Cinco de Mayo. Mmm Mexican Martinis. After we got home we napped some more. It was much needed rest though since we’ve both been working hard all week.
