We Got The House!!

YEAH!! I found a home and I got it!! I'm sooo excited!! I went to tour the house this evening and after walking though it and asking about everything I could think of, I felt really good about handing over the rather large security deposit and claiming it for our family! And here is the lucky home we will be living in for the next two years:
It's a 4 bedroom + loft/3 bath house that has a great layout and is in a great neighborhood. I'm so excited because we get to live so close to good friends who are in our ward at church, we have access to a neighborhood pool and tot lots, and it won't increase Scott's commute time by even one minute! :) And the other major relief- the move-in date is exactly what I was hoping for! So, the official date is: Sat. May 17th. Can I tell you what a relief it is to have a date to plan for? Plus, now that I've seen the house I have a better idea of what I need to get rid of and what I don't anymore. Hallelujah! Now that means I really need to start packing! And that is one thing I'm not looking forward to...


OK, so I'm going to share my BONEHEAD moment of the year. I can NOT believe I did this and what a COMPLETE BONEHEAD I was earlier today. So, today was pretty stressful trying to get a lot of things done in preparation of securing the house and moving in a short amount of time. One of the errands I had to run was returning some things, including a pair of shoes I got for Brennen that ended up being too small. As I left the house I grabbed Lindie (in her car seat), all the bags that had items to return, and a bag of plastic hangers to throw in the recycling bin. So, I get Lindie in the car, throw my purse and bags in the front seat and then tossed the bag with the plastic hangers into the recycling bin out on my curb. I dropped the kids off at my friends and race around Oceanside trying to get everything done. I go to Mervyn's to return Brennen's shoes and I can't find the bag. What I do find is the bag of plastic hangers. Yep, that's right. I tossed a pair of BRAND NEW shoes into the recycle bin. I even called my neighbor to see if she could grab them, but it was too late. The shoes were gone and I'm an idiot. I sat in the car swearing at myself for like ten minutes I was so mad. Aggh, even right now I just want to go hit my head against the wall a few hundred times. How in the world I could do something that stupid is beyond me, but I did it. So, if anyone has had one of those BONEHEAD moments and would like to share so I can feel a little better about myself, please do!
