We closed on a house, yesterday. It was built in 1970 and is pretty charming, in my humble opinion. It&#8217;s needs a bit of cosmetic work (some painting, landscaping, etc), but nothing extreme.

So, emotionally <i>exhausting<\/i> I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve recovered yet. The rest of the week will consist of packing and moving. <\/p>\n<p>The house is close to Jason&#8217;s work (which is about 40 minutes away from where we live NOW), so he&#8217;ll be taking boxes with him every morning. We learned that if you remove the car seats and lower down the backseat, there is a plethora of room! He fit quite a bit of stuff back there. One time, he picked up a chair I found on craigslist. It&#8217;s a vintage La-Z-Boy rocker in golden yellow. It&#8217;s practically in mint condition! I can&#8217;t wait to show you. <\/p>\n<p>Also, my father has a truck, so he&#8217;ll be helping to take some big things. Basically, this is going to be a busy, busy, busy week!<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re all pretty jazzed. I&#8217;m going to start a list of things I want to do to the place. Then, we&#8217;ll scratch them as we can afford them. I am pretty sure there&#8217;s going to be a good chunk of DIY projects on the list, so please stick around if you know anything about do-it-yourself home improvement\/decoration. I&#8217;m going to need some advice\/tips!
