Moving..........................

I did it! I finally closed on the house I'd been trying to buy since April!!! Can you believe it? After much work and many heartbreaking conversations with my mortgage guy, Jason @ Gateway Mortgage, it's all said and done and I'm there!!! WOOHOO!!! This was my very first home purchase, so it was a pretty new process for me. I don't ever want to do it again!!!

Now comes the fun part.....the unpacking! I haven't been able to find my shoes. I have three pair that I can locate. A black pair of doc marten mary janes, a pair of red doc marten slides and my white tennis shoes. Not a very versatile selection to choose from, I'd say. I do have to say that my mom and niece were helping me do some unpacking and they decided that I never need to go shopping again. I have WAY TOO MUCH STUFF!!!!!

My old landlord is a JERK! He decided that he's going to find any and all ways to keep the deposit that I'd paid on the house so if I don't clean it to his specifications, he'll talk to an attorney. I just told him that he needs to keep in mind that when we(my ex-husband and I) rented the house two years ago, there were no little kids. Now it's just me, a single parent with six kids who works full-time. I told him I'd do the very best I could but it definitely won't be perfect. I'd like to say go ahead and consult an attorney, you can't get blood from a turnip! But I won't. I wish I had Tara's or Shannon's quick wit! They always come back with great onliners! Any suggestions, girls???

The really cool thing about this new house is that it is more sound efficient. I used to could hear just about every word the kids would say, I could hear when the shower came on and went off. Now I hear nothing!!! I LIKE IT!!!!!!!
