So yesterday was a week that we have been in our new home. It's been a crazy week with calls to every company letting them know we are here and ready to pay you.. LOL Many trips to Home Depot, buying a dishwasher, microwave, garbage disposal, blinds, fan/light combo for both bathrooms, shower head, and knobs to go with. It's been crazy.. but the most important day was today.. Internet.. I dunno how I survived without it. But I did.. I was sooooooo busy unpacking, and calling and getting stuff fixed, and put in and bought, that internet wasn't a big deal yet. So we have painted our entire inside of our house white except for our bedroom and bath because we loved the sage green color. Ro painted to guest bedroom and office himself then we decided that we couldn't do the rest of the house by Sun. so Ro called his Dad and asked him if he knew anyone that could paint cheap.. that night he brought over someone who quoted us $250 for the kitchen, dining area, living room, all doors,hallway, and the entryway. It was done in one day, he had a compressor and got it done fast. Whew, I hated those colors! So tomorrow is the last day of furniture moving, my Dad saved a lot of his furniture when he moved, so we will get a dining room table that was a Great Great Grandmothers, entertainment center,stereo system, and not sure what else tomorrow. My grandparents have a house next to them that they own that is empty and full of furniture from my parents and my aunts and uncles. So I'm sure they will bring of plenty back. My job tomorrow is to box more stuff up at my Mom's and bring over the TV that is mine that is there. We decided just have TV's in the office and in the living room. We had a TV in our bedroom for two years and that's the only place we hung out and did. So we decided that we didn't want to do that anymore. I am waiting for our construction man that will be doing and has done many projects for us, we will be fixing our guest bathroom sink and put a pin in our sliding glass door.. The dummy that put in our doors put them backwards and our window guy that someone could come into our backyard and with a crowbar break in.. so of course Ro freaks and says that pin has to be put in ASAP. So anyways I better get back to cleaning, moving, unpacking,and all that other good stuff. Last night before we went to bed Ro told me he still can't believe that this is our house. I can't either..

Finally the big day is here! Moving day! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Also it is Katie's ( the girl I work with) 1st dance. Ro and I are taking her, she is so excited.. So it's a very special day for the 3 of us. Ro has the day off so he and the boys are moving. I made sure I had everything packed and the things we couldn't pack I keep reminding Ro not to forget them because I don't want to come back here. Only to get Delilah... We decided to get her last so she won't get freaked out by the house by herself or be in the way of getting our room set up. That's the only room right now that will have furniture in the rest of the rooms need to be painted. I'm am soooooooo happy this process is done.I have heard that buying a house can be stressful of paperwork and such.. but man oh man. Good thing I have a lot of patience Ro ran out a couple weeks ago and I had to hold on to the sails of the boat or we might of tipped over. So I better get ready for work. I just had to share with you.

ESCROW CLOSES the 10th!
Gamough and I .. she loved baseball so working at Modesto A's was perfectLOL man this process of buying a house has been crazy.. soooooooooo much paper work.. We went yesterday to FINALLY sign the last of the papers and escrow will close the 10th now.. so no more postponing this.. it's gonna happen.. or else! We are getting tons of free furniture from a friend of my Uncle's who is moving his mother into a rest home. So Tuesday Ro will be renting a U Haul and getting all of that furniture. We are so blessed by all the people who have helped us with this process of buying our own home. With the furniture to the money, to helping out, we couldn't of done it with out the help of those people. We are also excited about spending Christmas in San Diego and going to a Charger game.This will be Ro's second game I believe.. His first was a Raider game which he was soooooo drunk at because of his friend Freddie. So this one will be chill except for me getting up and screaming the whole time. My Uncle was sweet enough to trade someone else to get these tickets for us. He had already given them to someone so he had gotten them back from them and gaven them other tickets, so we owe him big this Christmas. Also it will be nice to be with my (our ) Nana on her 93rd birthday. Every since my Gamough passed I've been wondering what I'm gonna do for Christmas. Every year of my life Christmas Eve we would go to Gamough's and see everyone in the family and eat and open presents. I sometimes start to cry about Christmas because I'm not ready for Christmas Eve, I know it's going to extremely hard but that's why I have Ro .. he told me that we will get through it together. I felt bad.. we went to Red Robin last night to celebrate the last of the papers to be signed, and I said something about Gamough.. He started to tear up and I tried to say something else so he would stop and not get embarrased. As I am crying now I think I should end this blog and say my next post will be about the house and us moving..
