Update and -Need Help Moving!-
12 years ago
So we did end up getting the house. We're moving in on Sunday. We already have a few friends, a trailer, and a truck. But we need people to help load and unload stuff. Those that do come and help, I will have food and drinks and alcohol for afterwards. =D You can even crash at our new place if you want to drink yourself silly. We just need more hands to move stuff around. ^.=.^
In other news, Wild Nights was awesome. Saw a lot of familiar faces. May have found a new roommate or two. I got sick the first night, and then Ragnar got WAY too drunk Saturday night. After chasing him around for 3 hours, I had to sit down. I was hurting so badly that my lower body locked up, I was shaking, and I started puking from pain. Not fun. Erin helped me out by getting me some bread to nom on and then Ty helped me back to the tent and watched Ragnar for me to keep his drunk butt from doing something -too- stupid. Sunday I was moving slow, but we made it back in one piece. Today I stepped on a toy car and punched a hole in my foot. x.=.x Ow. Limping again.
For the most part we've been doing alright. Some bumps and bruises along the way, but I think things should be looking up soon. I'm officially a homeowner, we'll live right next to Dobie and Torn, and we should have a roommate to help pay rent - which is already cheaper than our current apartment. =3 I used our tax return to get me out of debt, so now I don't have to worry about paying bills with my commissions and can use that money to pay for current things. ^.=.^
We still have a long way to go though. The house we're moving into needs a LOT of work. We won't get the money from Dad's estate until after taxes are paid next year, so for this year we'll just have to save up money to fix things as we can. The yard has to be resodded before the dogs can go in it (it has whip worms, which no legal poison will kill), we need to replace the carpets, the plumbing in the back bathroom is messed up and leaking, the main bathroom needs to be re-tiled, and the wiring is outdated and two-prong. x.=.x Lots of work. Also going to redo the backyard after get it sodded. Going to rip out the old porch and make it a nice flagstone and concrete patio with a roof instead and add some other things to the yard including a vegetable garden. =3 Lots of work and lots of money, but we can do it over time.
TL;DR: Looking up, out of debt, but need money for future projects to improve our new house and people to help us move stuff Sunday. Party for those who help. =3

I drove by your place a couple days ago, not sure which one it was but I went down the street so I know I passed it.
Eh. Up and down, but at least we finally have a house. Now we just have to fix it up, arrange everything, clean it tons, and basically rebuild it from the ground up slowly.
lol ... Forgot to hit reply again. 6.=.6;
