I can hardly believe it myself, but Mom helped me place an offer on a house a few weeks ago, and although there were a few bumps along the way, the seller signed the contract yesterday and the precious house will be ours in less than six weeks! It all happened so fast, but I'm so stinkin' excited to move.
It's a two bedroom, two bath home in the azalea district, built in the 1940's. The kitchen was recently remodeled and there's a new roof. The master bedroom is painted blue and real hardwood floors are laid throughout. There's the cutest deck in the little backyard and a nice carport and it couldn't be more perfect!
Although he'll leave to go on tour less than a week before we move in, which is totally lame, John and I talked yesterday about all our plans for decorating and we're both soreallyvery excited to get moved in and make it our own! But, it will just give me an excuse to throw my whole self into making it perfect by the time he's home for Christmas.
I suppose now would also be a good time to mention news on the job front. My last day at the oil & gas office was one week ago today. BSCENE offered me a paid position there which I just couldn't turn down. The owners and editors there say they really enjoy working with me and will offer a full time position after I graduate on Dec. 20. And even if I hate it, TWW said the door will always be open to me should I decide to return. So, job security. Stability. It's a good thing.
These next few weeks will not be easy, but at least I have exciting times to look forward to. Not only do I currently live with four guys in a band, their manager is coming to work with them for most of the month before recording and tour, so that will make five stinky dirty boys in my presence. I've given up on trying to keep a clean house, it's just wasted effort.
Now if I can just make it through the month of November with my sanity still in tact....
I'll be moved into my new house before the holidays! Yipeeeee!
