I Bought a House!

    What a crazy week! My kids were in Utah for part of the week and I got them back on Wednesday. I hung out with Sam over New Years. I broke up with him a few days ago. He was too serious too fast and I could not handle it. I'm super not ready for that and neither are my kids. I need to be a monk for 8 years. Haha. Oy!

    I've been manically house hunting for weeks and everyone is like what is the rush? Do people know me? I like to get things done! I put in 4 offers and the last one was to the miracle perfect house! The first two would have been good but they didn't work out. The 3rd one was a major fixer upper and I liked some things about it but luckily Jory helped talk me out of that one. It had some major bad, sketchy vibes. Then on Friday Hart showed me the miracle house! We put in an offer and they weren't going to budge on price so we fandangled some miracles and with some help from Hart and my parents I got it! I'm not certain on closing dates. I am deciding between two lending companies and need to decide tomorrow. I  am hoping for my money from the divorce this week??? I hope to be moved by February. The house is 1800 square feet and is only 5 years old but looks BRAND NEW! I don't know who lived there but they were immaculate. It's about 1 minute from Hart's house and 6 minutes to Gabe's house. I think Ryan and I will be biking to jump in Gabe's pool all summer. It's a 3 bedroom but it has a little living space upstairs that I am going to turn into a bedroom. Who goes upstairs and who cares? I might put Ryan and Piper in that space and give the teenagers their own room. I'm still figuring that out. It's amazing and I can't believe it's real and until I move in I won't fully believe it. 

    Gabby had to have surgery on her toe again. Her ingrown toenail came back. I went to a        podiatrist this time and hopefully it will never happen again! She has had an infected toe for too    long.  

    I need to shift gears and get ready to go to work tomorrow. I haven't thought about work once. I have 3 new classes tomorrow and I need to get ready to lay down the law and set classroom expectations. Must shift gears! Happy New Year to all! It's going to be a great year!

I put up some décor with lights to help me during dark, cold, January.

This toe has been a hot mess forever.
