This past week has been filled with boxes, packing tape, quick easy dinners, sunshine, cleaning, shampooing our carpets only to find that they were masking a dog smell (yeah gross. I strongly dislike the smell of dog, especially in a house, especially in MY house...we are getting it taken care of. UGH)
I have felt all kinds of emotions this past week while packing up the apartment to move to this big house! I have been so overwhelmed. I have found that when I'm overwhelmed and my to do list is a million things I shut down. Like all I want to do is just sit on the couch and watch my show and nurse Emma. But! I did get all the packing done and it was all ready to go when movers came Saturday. I have also felt excited. I have been complaining to Jeremy for the past year and a half about where we lived, in the apartment. And now we own a house! holy moly. So exciting.
I will say I will not miss apartment living. Not at all. I won't miss sharing a wall with the people beside us. I won't miss kids playing in the grass right outside my front window. I won't miss after a year and a half walking into the house, it still not smell like it's my house. I won't miss the clean checks. I won't miss maintenance knocking on our door at eight in the morning in response to our maintenance request to fix something. I won't miss hearing when our neighbors flush their toilets or take a shower. I won't miss not being able to have our windows open because everyone smokes. Nope. I won't miss any of that.
As we were sitting down to dinner last night, that was prepared and delivered by my visiting teachers, THANKYOU!! Jeremy and I were talking and he asked if I felt rich. haha. I said YES. He said that he feels rich too. haha. Only because we own a house. Not because we are actually rich but because owning is a house is what rich people do..right?! haha.
