My Little Checklist...

I am kind of a list girl. I like them, but really only seem to use them when I feel like I have a big task to accomplish. Like super deep cleaning, major grocery shopping, errands to run when I go to town for a whole day, and really things like that. So lately I have been doing a mental checklist of what needs to get done in order for us to move. It has been daunting keeping this running tally in my mind of everything, but I think we are finally starting to make some progress. I feel like things are really starting to fall into place.
Last weekend we went down to Oregon and stayed with our favorite Dennis and Trina Family. (LOVE YOU GUYS!! Thanks for everything!!) We scoured (and literally I mean scoured) our new home town to find the best house we could for our family. Seriously we looked everywhere...Craigslist was our BFF..hehe
Anyhoo, after 4 days of looking, deciding, hoping, disappointments, then looking some more, then deciding some more, we finally got a house. It is Super Cute. However their is a small down side, not a great backyard..bummer. However I am not complaining because the house is GREAT! Not to mention when it came down to Tuesday morning and we were having to leave in a few short hours I felt a little stressed to make it all happen. Don't get me wrong there was quite a few houses to choose from, but finding the one that would fit our needs or should I say wants was a different story. But alas, we found one and I am SUPER EXCITED!!!!!!!!! And so I placed a little Check Mark here.
We submitted our application Tuesday afternoon, and we heard back Wednesday morning that we got approved for the house. Check mark please.
Then, yesterday afternoon at 3:00 the appraiser came and assessed our house and we should hear back this afternoon or tomorrow. I tried to chat it up with him to get a feel for how it would go and really I think we are good to go! Again SUPER EXCITED!! Another Check. ( ..still pending the final word but Rusty and I are feeling some what confident ..sort of..HEHE.)
I know I still have tons of work for that mental Black Sharpie, but for now I am just basking in the glory of crossing a few things off my list. Because after all that is the best part about making a list..The Crossing OFF!!
