Ready, Set.........GO!

A dear friend of mine used to say this when he was living, "Ready, set, go!" before doing anything big or small. He never liked just waiting around and got anxious when things dragged out too long. This is how I'm feeling right now.

We signed papers for purchasing our house this past Friday and will take possession of it on Thursday this week. It is so weird. I feel like I should be freaking out and thought I would have a lot more anxiety than I do. I guess that is another sign that this is the right move for us. we are really excited! Home-owning, I'm sure, is really stressful and a ton of work. But, I am pretty sure it's worth it not having to rent and having something that I can call "my own". The house is really really really gross, but with a bunch of Lysol & Clorox and new paint everywhere, it will be great! It's in Riverton and I am looking forward to getting to know that side of the valley. I have, my whole life, been an "east-sider" and am a little anxious about moving to the "west side" :), but at the same time, our neighborhood is really great and very safe according to the neighbors! We are very pleased with how everyone pretty much in the neighborhood keeps up their lawn and makes the street look very pleasant...see how bratty I am?

I will post pictures of the before/after clean up later next week probably. We are planning on moving in the house a little into September we think...after the painting is done. Then, we can focus on a lot of other little things in the house as we go.

Yay for only renting for 1/2 a month more!!!
