Little Pink (...or brick) Houses

Well, it's official - I'm a homeowner!! I closed on my house at 10am and got the keys by noon. I went down there to drop off some stuff and just check it out again, and realized that somebody planted flowers and put mulch in the front of the house around the bushes so it looks pretty and nice. I'm not sure who did that, so it's kind of a mystery! I will probably change it a little eventually, but what a fun surprise!

Thanks to my wonderful friend Beth who supervised, the moving truck was successfully loaded up on Tuesday in Toledo. I guess the driver is adding another load somewhere on the route on Friday, then he will drive to Texas over the weekend and I will have an arrival date of Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday next week. They said that they would call with 24 hours notice...So the end is in sight!!

This Saturday will be super busy - I have lots of deliveries (washer/dryer from Home Depot, fridgerator from Sears, garage door opener installers from Home Depot, and possibly Ashley furniture with my new bedroom already). I will also be doing some grocery shopping (once the fridge is cold enough), Walmart trips, changing locks, trying out a church, planning out where all the furniture is going, etc.

Random Texas Observations:

1. No state income tax coming out of my paychecks is AWESOME!!!

2. Did I mention that it's REALLY windy here???

Confidential to the BBC Club - I miss you guys - enjoy the Bloomington Applebee's for me!! I hope you're continuing my around-the-world-tour of that Applebee's location!!
