So everything seems to be falling into place. M and I ran by the house last night to check out the handyman’s work. Everything looked good. He even fixed a few things that we were going to leave. Guess I forgot a few items he could check off ;) Oh well. We also managed to get the rest of the stuff in the car and throw away the rest of the trash that was left. We will make one final trip this weekend to do a little cleaning and we are DONE!
Last night as we were watching So You Think You Can Dance, M’s guilty pleasure ;), I decided I wanted to get busy and start putting things in their place. I managed to hang 2 candle holders, move another picture, move a few baskets, change a lamp or two and that was about it. M laughed at me when I finally sat back down and asked what I’d been doing. I know it doesn’t seem like much but it’s a little and it’s a start. Our bonus room looks like my house threw up down there. And honestly I don’t really know where to start. I am moving into his house and I haven’t really claimed my areas yet. I don’t have MY space yet, if that makes sense. I’ve lived alone for so long now that I am used to moving and putting stuff where I want it. Now I have to consider someone else. Not that it’s a bad thing. M hasn’t said anything and he has been very good at helping make room for me. I guess I don’t want to just come in and take over because I know how I would feel if it were the other way around.  I would be super annoyed with someone just putting stuff where ever. 🙂
It also seems as though things are going to work out for my parents to move to OK. I talked to my dad this morning while they were waiting on their flight and he said they were just waiting for the offer. A lot of things have happened this year and I think them moving might not be such a bad thing. I feel like M and I are our own little almost family. (One day I will actually explain that.) But I think it might be good for mom and dad to spread their wings. Funny how it seems the roles have changed. The only downside to this is the fact that eventually M and I will have to go to OK. Not a trip I am really looking forward too.
And on one wedding related note I have found another DIY project for myself. Unfortunately I can’t do this while I am trying to avoid working. I will have to do it at the house since it involves tools. Now I just need a trip to Target and Lowe’s or Michael’s. I’ll post pics when I have finished.
