It's the first day of February and it feels like January flew by! BF and I have tons going on and I cannot believe half of it. Here's what is going on with us:
House Stuff- so we found "The House", but until those keys are in my hand and our down payment check is in their hands, I don't want to think of it as "our" house- despite it being super close and like 95% ours (hey, you NEVER know what could happen). Because I'm such a planner I have lists and spreadsheets and room measurements and sketches as to what I'm going to do to this house to make it "ours". It has definitely grown since my last house update and now includes things like replacing all of the toilet seats, replacing a set of blinds in the extra bathroom upstairs, putting in new countertops in the kitchen, putting a new counter top in the master bathroom, replacing the filters in the furnace, etc.
Right now we are just awaiting our loan stuff to come back from our lender so we can get to closing on this house! We are hoping to start moving in the next 2 weeks, but we will see what happens. Today I'm going to see my insurance lady so we can get set up with Home Owners Insurance and I feel so grown up, and totally out of my league!
In other news I feel totally fat and gross. I'm not and I know that, but do you ever feel like you've been stuck in the same place with no movement for a while so you start not liking your results? That's how I feel. I need to renew my exercise program so I'm hoping to start scheduling a class or two a week into my routine to help spice things up a bit. Also, I feel like I've got to refocus on running. I got really good there for a while, but when everything got super stressful with house stuff and work stuff I totally let it slide. This week I'd love to get to a spinning or cardio kickboxing class.
Also, I feel SUPER OLD. Last week I was fighting off the nasty cold that everyone at work had. I didn't get the full-blown version, but I had a touch of the congestion, a tiny tickle in my throat and have been a bit achy. This week I feel much better, but my shoulders are so insanely sore and achy that it's giving me headaches! I started putting a heat-pack on my shoulders at night while we get ready for bed to help me relax. I love that thing and it seems to be helping, but I think I need to break down and get a massage to get any relief. I think it's a combination of stress and fighting off that cold. BF also got a bit of the same cold, but he seems to have bounced back a bit better than me. At least one of us feels 100%!
The puppies are getting so big! Nora and Rudy are two peas in a pod and are so entertaining. Nora is doing pretty well with house training and rarely had accidents; pretty good for 5 months old! We really have to work on their training- we let it slip with Rudy when we got Nora and now all he seems to remember is "Sit". Nora seems to be a bit too puppy-crazy to train yet, but I think we should start trying. I found a Puppy Training book while packing up our books so I left it out so I could start working on some things with them both. BF and I cannot wait to move so we have a dog door and don't have to wake up early to take them out every morning, 4am is insane.
Wedding planning is sort of taking a backseat right now to House Stuff, you know, since that happens this month and the wedding isn't until September. But I am feeling pretty comfortable with where we are in planning. A couple weekends ago we picked out two of the Bridesmaid dresses and so now we have 1 more to go!
Anyhow, that's what is new and hopefully I'll be able to share our move-in date and house-warming party date soon!
