Sorry it's been so long!

Wow. I didn't even realize how long it had been since I made a blog entry! I'd like to take a moment and apologize to all of my loyal blog readers out there. I hope that I didn't lose your interest in the 2-week delay of a new post.

We are 1,000% done with our apartment now. It's a very refreshing feeling! Now we can actually focus on the wedding!!! Only 11 more days and I'm going to be an honest woman. I just ordered my new nametag so when I get back, my new status will be reflected!

I am getting more and more excited for our honeymoon, also. Part of our trip is going to be visiting the Winchester house. That's the part that I'm most excited about. They have a midnight tour where they take you into the attic. (None of the daytime tours include the attic.) George and I are going to try and make this tour. It's going to be hard since we're both such early birds. I think we're both 65 years old at heart. My perfect day is filled with crossword puzzles, and early dinner, and an early bedtime. Too bad I can't skip being a mom and go straight to being a grandma! I think that's what I'd be the best at.

Well, until next time!

thisclose to being done!

We have about 3 more car loads of junk to get out of our apartment. It's amazing what you can fit into 700 square feet!

George is seeing ghosts. He didn't phrase it EXACTLY like that, but that's what seems to be going on. I have not experienced any of this myself, so I can't testify to the truth here. Apparently, he's been hearing "weird noises" and one night he went downstairs to use the restroom and he saw a man in a green shirt standing in the hallway. Then the man disappeared.

It's funny that this should be happening to him right now because last week in Utah, my mom asked if he had ever had any 'encounters' and he said no! And now this. I wonder if his story will change when we're out there next month...

Once again, I'll say I have not heard or seen anything! But I can still hope, right?

WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!

We are officially in the middle of moving!

For those of you with a college degree, you can probably surmise that means we got the house! Internet should be hooked up at the house tomorrow, so I'm going to try and get some pictures posted on here for all of you to enjoy.

Long story short, I love my house and I hope it doesn't cause me too many problems! Anyone is welcome to stop by any time as long as you're ok with half unpacked boxes lying about. Seriously--that's not an olbligatory offer. I really mean it! You can look up the address in Millennium--Hilary updated it this morning!

The final move should be done on Saturday. We've rented a cargo van from Budget and we're going to throw everything in there. Then, it's just a matter of cleaning the apartment and giving notice that we're not coming back.

The cats seem really happy. At first they were very tense, of course, but now that they've had a few days to explore they seem excited. Isis keeps following us around, though. I think she's afraid that she's going to get lost in the house. Bastet is a little braver and was the first one to venture downstairs. The patter of her little paws on the wooden stairs in adorable!!!
