I just bought milk the other day-guess what the expiration date was?....
Give up. Ok, August 25th.  Do you know what is cool about this date?  IT IS 3 days after our CLOSING DATE OF OUR HOUSE!  I think it is just hilarious that I love that the expiration on our milk is FINALLY after our closing date.
 
To say I'm excited is an understatement.  

I'm ecstatic.  Going from a house with 1500+ square feet to an apartment with 800(ish) is SUCH a difference.  And the square feet isn't really IT.  What is it...is the things that a house provides.  Privacy!  The ability to go to sleep with the windows open and not hear your neighbors up until all hours.  Or free from smoke that comes in your windows from your awesome neighbors that don't know how to throw away their butts.  

And the other biggest thing it means is that all of our stuff will be in ONE SPOT.  And not here:

  I swear- we have of some of our kitchen supplies, none of my craft things, none of my skirts, hardly any of our pictures, a small amount of Aylen things, etc.  It's actually good in away.  We are living with the minimum necessary-and truly that's good for us.  It's like camping.  Kind of.  Without the cool stars, and campfires, and fishing all day:)  But I think what makes this so exciting is that our NEW house is AWESOME.  Here are some pictures:)

great kitchen!

Ahhhh,,, I love it!  I can't wait:)  And then, just like Russell's says-I can NEST all that I want!  Did I mention they have The Container Store  and the opening of Colorado's own Ikea is next week?!  Yes sirrrreeeee:)

So this week we will officially part ways with our FIRST house ever.  Bye Bryan Circle.  It will be taken care of by a lady who is moving from Geneva.  According to Russell "she got a deal", either way we sold our house in 40 days and although we may lose a bit IT is NOTHING compared to what some people are dealing with houses on the market for 2+ years or losing 10,000+dollars and more.

And for those of you who don't know--we seriously BOUGHT and SOLD (well-started on agreeable contracts between all parties!) these two houses on the same day.  If that isn't a sign that this move was for us--I don't know what is!

Love you all:)
30 days left!
