An Update

Thanks again to all of you who who have sent me kind words & encouragement. A lot of my friends & co-workers don't know what to say so they don't bring it up which makes it more awkward. So your support means a lot. 


Just thought I'd give an update on where things stand with us right now: 


-Today is the first official day of my FUNemployment. While my last day in the office was last Friday, my contractual unemployment begins today. Thank goodness we're looking to move & set up a new house, otherwise I have no idea what I'd do with myself.


- Total tangent but after a measly 2hrs I can tell you that morning television SUCKS. Seriously? Whhhhy is Kathie Lee still on TV? Can I ask? So unnecessary. Also, I can't tell if I like Kelly Ripa or not.


-  And finally for some good news: We're still on schedule to close on our house this week!! Our estimated closing date was supposed to be Halloween - we got hung up with some paperwork but now we're on target to close this Thursday. We got the all clear yesterday around 4:30p. We actually could've closed tomorrow but the Hubster has to go to Queens court to fight a ticket from a year ago. Since he's already pushed the court date back the maximum amount of times he couldn't change it again, we just moved the closing back a day. Ironically, November 3rd is also a cousin's due date so either way it's set to be an epic day for our family.


And since we're getting so close, I figured I'd give you a little sneak peek at our new house. We obviously have plans for some serious curb appeal but that might have to wait till spring since we had a snowstorm this weekend!  Here's what it looks like right now though.


I can't wait till Thursday now!! :)

  2. It already has serious curb appeal! That house is ADORABLE! I want to know EVERYTHING about it. I need a photo tour, maybe one of those video tours where you awkwardly walk through while talking about your dreams for a nursery. And I can't even SEE a neighbor's house. Are you moving to Montana? So much land in such a big city, ah so happy for you!

    On the not so happy news, you know that we all love you and that we're here to give you any support that you think we can help you with! You can do it lady! <3 you :)

  6. Congrats on your lovely home! It's so cute! And good luck with the FUNemployment -- my best friend is currently there as well, so I shall think good job-finding thoughts for the both of you. Also, for some reason I am just now finding this blog... a little slow on the uptake, apparently. But I'm very happy to be reading your musings again!
