Getting Closer

Less than a week and we close on the new house.

Wow.

Yesterday we purchased the dryer and gas range.  After looking forever, it seemed, and checking prices, looking at online reviews, and traveling from store to store, we decided on a Whirlpool dryer and a Samsung range.  The range is identical to Megan's but I didn't realize it at the time.  Guess I enjoyed cooking on hers!  They will be delivered next Friday.  We wanted them in place before the new carpet went in.

Closing.  Wiring a massive amount of money.  I have never spent that much money---not ever.  Sure, I know that farm equipment has high price tags and that we have dealt with high amounts of money when we sold corn and soybeans, but that was all in the farm account and first Gary's mom, then he himself handled it.  Not me.   So that in itself is frightening for me.

However I know that when we sell our place and after the farm equipment is sold and the 20 acres behind the farm is sold, that our bank account will shoot back up and all will be well. In the meantime, Gary said we own TWO houses and TWO small patches of acreage so we have no worries!

As far as I know the rest of the week until Landon's ball game Friday night is free.   The plan?  Working upstairs to start the purging process.  I dread it in a way, but also I am excited about it.  Now I have a reason to do it.  I can look at things and see choices:  trash, yard sale, save to move, give to the girls.  It is refreshing to do that.  Plus I need to look at the things we are getting rid of as re-purposing for someone else or giving someone else joy.  I like that perspective. 

Walk through the house on Saturday.

Order a pantry and an island.

Check on Fourth of July sale prices on the fridge we want.

Moving down the list.....
