So, I haven't written in a while (or "writ" according to Larry the Cable Guy...off subject but I just watched "Them Idiots! Whirled Tour" with Bill Engvall, Jeff Foxworthy, and Larry the Cable Guy. It was on netflix and they sometimes have a clean humor, and it was pretty funny! At one point Larry referred to something being writ and Bill had to translate that he meant wrote. Anywho if you like southern humor, I'd recommend this one.) haha off that tangent now...
Yep so we got a house and have been living here about a month now. Still boxes everywhere and messy in general. We haven't really had any time off to be unpacking a lot. Every weekend we're off, we're either too tired from working all week and need a day of rest, or we have plans for other things than unpacking. One day we tested our sprinkler heads and Ben went out and bought some new ones for the ones that didn't work. And then he became a Master of Sprinkler Head Changing. Our neighbors were ready to employ him. Since neither of us have ever had a sprinkler system, it was interesting to see how it all works and how to replace broken heads.
One day we met Ben's brother and his wife at a local museum and saw a mummies exhibit. Interesting but a little weird to be looking at dead people and animals. I mean the culture and the process was all very interesting. It's just a different experience.
So this weekend, I ended up with Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off from work, so I'm trying to unpack a lot more boxes and get things more organized. Today, I successfully moved a rolltop desk, two small filing cabinets, and put together a twin bed, all by myself (lucky it's not carpet or it wouldn't have been so easy)! So it actually looks like we have 2 spare bedrooms, and I only say "looks like" because I'm not sure they will be used as bedrooms anytime in the near future.
Umm...not sure what else I can talk about right now so I'll leave it at that and share a picture our realtor took on the day of our first scheduled closing. The sun was kind of in our eyes. And honestly, I don't remember if I've posted this picture before or not, so here's for possibly seeing it twice...

| OUR NEW HOUSE!!!!!!!!! |
WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!! As of 5:30 pm today, we became homeowners!!! It was very last minute and a kind of stressful day, but it FINALLY HAPPENED!!! We went back to our apartment to relax for a little bit before we went out to dinner and then to see our NEW house!!! A lot of lists are forming now. Things to schedule (internet, pest control, movers, etc.), things to purchase (washer, dryer, curtains for sliding glass door, new locks on the doors), things to get done before we move in (cleaning, cleaning, and more cleaning). Ahhh so much to do! And it's really very exciting. And stressful. But mostly exciting! NOW WE HAVE A HOUSE!! haha, I can't say it enough. Guess it hasn't officially sunk in yet. Maybe tomorrow we'll go buy a few of the small things we'll need up front. Plus we found out today when we went that the water had been shut off (which it wasn't like that last week), so that's a little troublesome because it's the only thing we can't "turn on" over the phone or internet, we actually have to go to the utilities office to get the water turned on. Which means we kinda can't start working there and stuff until it's turned on. Oh well. IT'S OURS NOW! We just need to be out of our apartment by the end of the month. Which is like a week and two days. Our work is cut out for us....
Oh, and pictures to come. Took some pretty funny pictures at the closing.
