Crikey! The level of stuff going on in life has reached an all time high. So much stuff. So many stuffs. Too much stuffing.
For starters, we move into our sweet NEW HOUSE on Friday. And we couldn’t be more excited! Like I mentioned last week, I’ve been a little nervous about talking about it until it was 100% confirmed. But last Thursday our loan was finalized. We have yet to sign the papers, but that should be happening in the next 24 hours. So. We have a house. We move in in 3 days. In other words: WHAT.
Can I just take a second to talk about how amazing the house buying process is? I mean, how cool is it that you really don’t know for sure if you have a house until a week before you’re supposed to move in? Talk about funsies! I’m totally kidding, of course. House buying can suck it. Luckily we have a kick ace realtor who totally held our hands through the whole process.
I shouldn’t complain, because a HOUSE! Gus cannot wait to have a backyard to run around in. And I cannot wait to have a spot to plant my brussel sprout. And two bathrooms (am i right girls?) And no shared walls. And a dining room that isn’t our couch. And a doormat…. preferably the one that says “Hi. I’m Mat.” So many things. Gah! I can’t wait.
On top of that small life change, I’ve also quit my current job and accepted a new one at another ad agency. The new agency is the Everest of ad agencies. It’s a place I read about in college and never dreamt I’d get a chance to work at as a big kid. I’m basically freaking out in all possible ways – excitement, nervousness, disbelief, hunger…. It’s all happening. I feel like Maya Rudolph in Bridesmaids, when she’s waddling across the street in the wedding dress. But instead of poo-ing myself, I just have diarrhea of the emotions.
So basically, in two weeks our life will be flipped turned upside down, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air style. My brain is shot, my nerves are fried and I have a constant headache just north of my unibrow. But I seriously couldn’t be more excited…
Now, please send me all your boxes and your money because I’m moving and I need to buy some STUFF!
that's me in the middle
