and here we go again...............

Over a year later... Let's try dabbling again.

THE CHAOTIC SUMMER 

We decided to move, quit talking about it and actually do something, and sell our house and MOVE! AHHHHH.
Friends need to warn each other and have a coming to jesus talk with each other about such things. Because this is the first week in 3mts I have been able to breath and I don't have high blood pressure.Until Sep.30 and I'm sure it will resume.

So we made a plan, spend the next few weekend staging the house to sell, contact a Realtor, list the house, sell the house. Here is how it went down:
End of July 
-Clean, clean, clean , organize and box up unused stuff. C got a huge climate controlled storage unit and we -took extra furniture first
-work farmers market,box up more stuff, fix water heater that is located in the 150*F ATTIC
-packed up all of the kitchen stuff and left only essentials
Beginning of August
-meet with first Realtor, had great expectations, Realtor fell off the face of the earth.
-meet with 2nd Realtor, he is awesome, we will keep him!
-Panicked!
-Went to Lubbock to celebrate my gma's 85th bday with all my cousins (and mom and dad)

the 5 Mangrum cousins

-Is the house ready!! Let's purge more stuff
-filled a bakery truck (a 20ft truck)
-listed the House on Aug.8
-Had an offer at 9pm Aug.8
-became super excited!
-cried
Aug. 9
-Panicked again because we have to be out of the house in a month and have NO WHERE TO GO!
-cried
The rest of August 
-negotiated the contract.again. and again and again and finally settled
-spent the next three weekends packing the rest of our crap and moving EVERYTHING into storage! we are 28yrs old how do we have this much CRAP!! but we need it all.....  well except things C just didn't want to deal with , those things were tossed. I'm sure once we settle in again we will be missing RANDOM things.
-found time to enjoy a friends bachelorette party

Katlin's last Rodeo

-filled a bakery truck with our stuff TWICE
September
-found a house we both liked, made an offer, negotiated, negotiated, had inspections and surveys and appraisals done.
-moved completely out of our first home, and into our MOM's houses with 1 crazy dog and 3 cats and our left over stuff
-filled a bakery truck with more of our stuff, again.
-Closed on our First Home on Sep.12
-Euphoric feeling
-have not cried yet


We have 13 more days of living in separate houses , me with the cat's and C with the dog. It was too much for us to impose on just one set of parents since they all have animals too!
But it's kind of been fun for our relationship, it's like dating again... We schedule dates and sneak time with each other at work and have the anticipation of seeing each other at different times everyday, oh and we  don't have privacy anymore :)
