Only 4 more days until we close on the new house. YAY. We're not moving in right away since we're heading to Atlantic Beach, NC on vacation next weekend, but I can't express how relieved I will be to finally have the whole real estate buy/sell process completed. And to have an end to living out of suitcases, essentially, in sight.
The temporary housing situation has been great, all things considered. The clubhouse pool has been fantastic fun for the kids (and for Brad and I!) and a welcome relief to the intense heat here in Arkansas. The house is spacious and has a nice office for Brad, even, so we could pick up life here without too much delay. It's only a 7 minute commute to my office and less than a minute from Target and a beautiful mall. But all of that good stuff aside, it's still very temporary.
I miss some of the basics that this house doesn't have: a land line telephone; an iron and ironing board (I've looked like a mess at work some days!); my crockpot (which is essentially my left arm, let's face it!); my sharp kitchen knives; a number of the clothing items I forgot to set aside for temporary housing, etc. I don't think the kids notice too much of what's missing, but I'm sure they'll be happy to see some of their toys and books come back into play.
I'm guessing that one of the first orders of business upon closing this week will be to visit the house and go for a dip in the pool. We won't be moving our things in until August 11th, but I'm sure we'll be moving in some bathing suits and towels before then!
