Why all the craziness?

We close on our house one week from today. My current house is complete chaos at the moment. I started packing yesterday... "I can do it in a week," I said, "NO PROBLEM!!!" My dad told me I was crazy.

Well, my parents get wiser as I get older - I SWORE I had less stuff than I actually do. But, I will get it done! We WILL be ready for the move. I just might not sleep in the process.

Oh, I'm also in charge of planning the Policeman's Ball this year. Kate had been extremely helpful in ensuring everything gets done for this, but I am about to pull at my hair. Note to self, "Next time you buy a house, don't close a week before an event you're planning." Got it. Where was my advice when I started this mess.

Okay, back to the mess that is my house now. It seems to look so much worse before it looks packed. Ugh! Anybody know a master packer who would want to donate their services to my cause? No? I didn't think so.

Here's to Homeownership


Steve and I put an offer on a house today, AND IT WAS ACCEPTED! We now begin the inspection process and as long as everything goes smoothly, we will close on May 4 or 5. SO EXCITED!!!
