Packing Up

Well, it's official. We close on both houses next week, most likely on Tuesday. We need to be out of our house by midnight on Thursday, so there's a lot of work to be done between now and then. The garage is pretty empty except for the freezer and the extra fridge. I started packing a few boxes ever day last week, but will step it up tonight. If it is up to me, the only things left to pack by next week would be the beds, the TV and the chairs in the living room.

Jason is moving out today and tomorrow into his new apartment. He sounded a little sad last night thinking about it being his last night in his room. We are going to let him have the living room couch and a couple of the bar stools. We are getting a new love seat for the new house, and there is no place for the bar stools.

John and I are really excited about the move, but at the same time it is sad. We have been in our house for 24 1/2 years. Can you believe it? There are a lot of memories that we will be taking with us to the new house. And we get to start making some new memories.

Our new address will be 965 Kingwood Circle, Highland Village, TX 75077. Can't wait to start having visitors!

It's Ours!!!

We have a new house! The bank accepted our offer and the inspection has been done. There were a couple of major things found during the inspection, but they are having those fixed. The current 'schedule' is that we close on our current house October 29. The closing on the new house is not scheduled until November 20, but they are trying to get the loan underwritten quicker than that. Still not sure what we will do, or where we will be, for four weeks. Still have to figure that part out. There is some painting and minor repairs that we will have to do to the new house, but we are excited about the move. Cami already knows which room is her's. We went over to the house on Sunday and told her to go to her room. She ran up the stairs, directly into the room that will be her's and laid down on the floor. Smart girl!!
