Today we buy a house, for tomorrow we move.

Well, it's about five hours from being official. We're going to go spend a ton of money that isn't ours, and move all our stuff again, and see if we can traumatize Madeline or if she really just doesn't care where she is as long as you give her crackers and free reign of the universe. Every time we've gone to the new house, she camps out in her soon to be new room, on some poor little girl's bed, and stares at the giant mirrors on her new closet and talks to herself. So I'm pretty optimistic. Jessie, on the other hand, might not adapt so well. His commute will go from 1.5 minutes to 10-15, and he's really not a commuter. I'll give him some crackers and juice and maybe some chocolate, and I'm sure he'll come around.

Anywho, we really are actually excited for the move. We'll have a lot more space and the ability to paint our walls neon orange if we wanted to, and let me tell you, we have been wanting to. I'm really excited for our giant pantry, a new dishwasher that maybe washes dishes, a fenced backyard with grass to let Madeline run wild in, a playground around the corner for the same purpose, and my own master bathroom and walk in closet. Jessie's excited for the non existant sound system and new tv he plans to put in the basement and getting lots of money from the government for having the audacity to purchase a home. Madeline is excited to unpack boxes for real. So happy 24th of July. We'll be organizing our socks and baking goods. Whoopee!

Dishwasher. Sigh.

It's been so long, I don't think I could even remember how to use one.
