CLOSING!!!!!

We close on our house tomorrow! We are so excited. I feel like it is the night before Christmas.

I tell you, buying a house has to be the most stressful time in a person's life. I never thought we would get here, but here we are. This is a dream come true and I can't wait to begin the next chapter of our lives.

Wish us luck!

Missing that Christmas Magic

Note to self: In the future, do not plan on a big move before the holidays.

Our house looks like a box factory. We are trying to be proactive in packing up our house. Logical, right? Organized, practical. Well, I hate it. I need my Christmas decorations. I need my big ornament filled lighted tree, my stuffed snowmen, my Santa candles, my silver reindeer. I love my home to look like the North Pole. Since things are getting packed up, it made more sense to leave the Christmas decorations packed away. We would have had to unpack them all just to pack them back up again. I know that makes sense, but I still hate it.

My husband knows this about me. He was distraught at my sadness at the lack of Christmas. Now, I know that Christmas is not all about the decorations, but they make me happy. So, we went out and bought a little 1 foot tree that came with little ornaments. I just love it. We call it our "Believe" tree. Keeping positive about all the new house nonsense - all we have is a little faith. Just believe.

My motto for the day!

Yep. 'Nuf said.
