Would You Believe It?

We have a contract on a house. Yeah, just like that! We found one that we love, we made an offer, and it was accepted. What's even better is that it's vacant meaning that we can move in immediately. We close in two weeks...yeah, two very short weeks. So guess what I'm going to be doing for the next two weeks? Packing like a mad woman! And picking out paint colors for the bedrooms. My husband will be doing all of the painting since I'm not supposed to be around the fumes.

This is all coming together so quickly. The strangest thing is that I'm very calm about it. I don't feel panicked in the least. Although it could simply be that I'm in a state of shock. My moods are so unpredictable these days. It could be that I've done long distance moves so many times in the past several years that a local move doesn't concern me. Or maybe it's the fact that I am so ready to have a home of my own again. Yippee!!

I can paint the rooms whatever color I want. I can put as many nails in the wall as I want. If I don't like the ugly bush in the front yard I can rip it out and plant something else in its place. I will once more have the glory of a gadget called a garbage disposal. And, finally, I can plan out how I want to decorate the nursery. Life is beautiful.
