Life...

To say that my life has been crazy lately might be an understatement. 

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that I decided that I was going to look at buying a house & posted a picture of the one that was my favorite at the time...well...SURPRISE! As of October 5th, that same house will be MY house!

I cannot wait to move in BUT the whole moving process is my least favorite part of the whole thing! This will be move #17 for me since I was 4 years old & I certainly hope I'll be here for at least a few years - it is a smaller home but it has 3 bedrooms so there is room to "expand" if I need to, haha! I love the backyard & I'm very happy that Stella's going to have such a big yard to enjoy after spending her first 4 years with me in an apartment (with lots of play dates with my parent's dogs of course). I'm seriously debating adopting a little friend for her, but she's such a spoiled "only child" so I'm not sure how that would go over with her. I do know that if we do add another fur baby, it'll have to be a boy because Stella's too much of the alpha b*tch to bring another girl dog into the mix...with her little boy dog friends, she has no problems :)

For the most part, everything has gone fairly smoothly - I got the home for less than the asking price, the inspection came up with only minor, easily fixable items & the seller agreed to pay an allowance to fix those things without even putting up a fight either! The biggest issue so far has been the lack of communication between various parties involved & we only have 2 weeks to get on the same page before closing & it's definitely stressing me out! I haven't given notice to my apartment management that I'm moving out yet because I do still worry that this could be drawn out longer & I wouldn't have a place to live in the meantime (blah!). Hopefully it's not as bad as it feels like it is & everything will go perfectly fine & closing will be on the 5th as planned.

Anyway, back to the craziness that is the "Life of Linz"...aside from the home buying stress, I haven't even started packing & again, I only have 2 weeks to do that! The best part about the new house is that I already know that I have very limited storage space - trust me, that is probably one of the best things for me because if there's storage space, I will fill it - so it's forcing me to have to go through all of my stuff to finally get rid of things I really don't need - clothes, shoes, artwork, kitchen garb, books, etc. Most likely, that will be how I spend my Saturday this weekend...it will be the last full free day I'll have before the move itself so I better take advantage of it.

As for the other parts of my life? Ya, those parts are crazy too, haha! Still spending lots of time playing soccer & I definitely do not regret that - I love having that as an outlet for some of this stress & it's been very much needed lately. And the personal side of my life...well it's getting better, slowly but surely, haha! We'll just have to see where things go at this point but I'm not in a hurry.

I guess that's all for now.
