Moving Day

After a long weekend of packing, we are only about 1/2 of the way done. We have a giant castle of boxes, yet the house still looks like a tornado hit it. I keep saying "I didn't think we had this much stuff!" I have always been proud of myself for keeping an organized and uncluttered home, but my god, I can't believe how much work it is to pack it all up! It will all be worth is because....  
We get the keys to our new house today! 
And as I requested, our REA promised to bring a "SOLD" sign (along with our house keys) so that I could get a cute picture with it :) What's up with people these days? They don't seem to understand that some people really enjoy the "cliches" that go along with these type of major life events. I guess I am a traditional kind of girl...I look forward to doing the same cheesy things that my ancestors did! I will seriously make my own "SOLD" sign if she does not bring one this afternoon.
Besides this, I am very excited to finally get my house :) I can't wait to curl up with DH tonight knowing that we own the roof over our heads. I can't wait to wake up and make coffee in MY kitchen! Now lets just hope that we will actually be able to find the coffee maker amongst the tower of Home Depot boxes :)

The End Is Near

If you have ever watched one of those house hunting shows on HGTV, you too would be under the impression that "Closing" is a very exciting and official "climax" to the whole home buying process. Many times I would lay awake in bed and imagine myself signing on the dotted line. The clouds would part, the closing table would erupt in applause, and a woman in a lovely pant suite would hand over a set of shiny keys while simultaneously shaking my outstreached hand.
I don't think this is how it is going to go down.
First of all, we are signing "doc's" tonight, but we will not get our keys til Tuesday! 
Second, I still feel like we have about a million "loose end" to tie up. We don't yet have our insurance papers in, we have yet to gander at the "Title Fees", and we have no idea what our final closing costs will actually be. This makes me nervous.
Oh ya, and I might ::crosses fingers:: have a little bundle of cells floating through my fallopian tube and into my ute. This stress can not be good for my little traveling zygote!

"O" Day
Today is a day which will live in infamy...hopefully. That's right, I'm laying an egg! I think I felt it "popping out" on my right side, but it could just be some left over lactose from last night. Oh ya, I forgot to mention my birthday! I am officially 26. Last night DH surprised me by inviting my whole family to join us for dinner at one of my fave restaurants! We had a great time playing with my cool new cell phone(thanks hun), meeting my brother-in-laws new GF (surprisingly non-skanky), and chatting about my uterus. According to my family, it IS there business. Thats ok, it's nice to know that I am not alone in this whole baby making thing :)
Last night DH kinda dropped the ball (pun intended) and decided to crash before we had a chance to BD one last time before I O'd. I tried to revive him using my most slutty advances, but alas, the micro brew had already taken it's effect. He was OUT. Oh well, hopefully the previous AM sack session will provide enough little swimmers to get the job done. Now we wait.

May To-Do List
---------------------
1) Buy a house.
2) Make a baby.

This is why I have not been blogging. :)

But just to catch everyone up...
Yes, our offer (on the house that we LOVE) was accepted! We are currently in escrow.
And in regards to our future spawn; I am geared up to "O" on May 19th. Everything is in place, the mood is set, and now we just have to send in the "troops"!
