It's OURS!!!
STATS
1730 Square Feet (+1200 in the basement)
1730 Square Feet (+1200 in the basement)
2.5 car garage
3 bedrooms
2 bathrooms
2 living rooms
A three seasons room with a hot tub
AND IT'S OURS!
We closed on our house today - signed our life away and got the keys. The first two things on our list are to clean the carpets and get the painting started (prep, prime, and GO). Before it's all over, we will paint every wall in the house... EVERY WALL... it's going to be quite a project. Luckily, we have our apartment until the 14th and our storage unit (where most of our stuff is) until the 30th.
Slow and steady wins the race!!

A New Year is Upon Us!
School in Michigan starts after Labor Day - THANK GOODNESS!
All my friends have been back in school for at least a week. I started today.
The start of a school year is a very busy time for me - meetings, trainings, promotional events, LOTS of students are have all of a sudden returned and expect undivided attention and quick responses even though they have not been responding to us for 3 months. Such is life.
On top of the start of school, we close on our house this week - not a huge deal... just THOUSANDS of dollars invested into a single item that will (hopefully) be ours for years and years. Just kidding - it's really not that scary, especially when you know that your investment is sound.
We are in the throws of packing up our apartment, which is also not a huge task since it's only 700 square feet, but it's still an annoying pile up of energy draining activities that I'm having to deal with right now. This weekend will consist of cleaning, taping and possibly some painting. We keep saying we are not in a hurry, but let's get real, who wants painting to take that long... NOT ME!
So, send positive energy my way this week - I'll need all the energy I can get!

Maya Angelou Monday

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors game,
I am the dram and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise
Here's to a MARVELOUS Monday
