Three days until we close

[amberica]

We are going to close on the Forest Lake house in three days. I am not excited. Frankly, I just want it to be DONE. I want to not have to go through all the hassle and mess of moving again. Buying the house and moving to Forest Lake does not excite me. But I'm not one to get excited about stuff like that, really.

K. seemed really concerned about this the other day, but it's not a BAD thing. I talked to Jon about it last night, and he's not "excited" either! I guess we just take life as it comes and try to make the best of it. There's really no point in getting all worked into a froth over something that's going to be initially stressful and challenging anyway. Once I get through the move, get things calmed down and settled in, maybe then I will get excited. I'm much more likely to get excited about new curtains and paint and things like that. Moving to a new house and a new town? Not exciting. Just flat-out stressful and annoying. Too big of a change to say I'm looking forward to it. Which is not to say I won't ENJOY living there once I'm moved IN!

I think I'm getting repetetive so I'm going to stop now. We are probably going to have a house-warming BBQ thingy around the end of May - maybe Memorial Day weekend. Now that is something I can get excited about!

I definitely want to be there for the BBQ! I'll take the bus if I have to!

Congratulations! Closing is a pain in the butt, I don't blame you for not being all giddy about it. But once you get in & settled, it starts to dawn on you: "Wow, I own this," and that's the coolest feeling there is. :)
