O right, this.

So I've been working at aforementioned place for about 2 months now. Pay is /awesome/ and I enjoy my job. I make $17 an hour, with 75 cents differential. This means my check every 2 weeks is in the $1200-$1400 range, depending on overtime. ANYWHO, as many times as I tried typing out "house" when typing "hour" I should mention that we're buying a house. Oops, forgot to write something earlier xD We're closing next week and will be moving in next weekend. It's so unreal. It hasn't hit me yet that we're buying a house.

We're throwing a lot of s**t away. Most of it is packrat trash or old stuff we just dont want anymore. This means we're buying a s**t-ton of new stuff. We're picking out a fridge tomorrow :D! That is a necessity though, since the house we're getting is a new construction and doesn't come with one. We'll also be getting a couch soon. And rugs. And dishes. And curtains. And a HDTV. And a new washer/dryer. Graaaaaaaaaaarhhhhhhh. So much stuff @.o

This leads me into discussing the dog we're getting. The hubby's buying a husky puppy. It's brown and white with blue eyes. Hyper little ********. We don't have a fence yet, so he'll be inside the house. He's getting a good deal on it from a guy he works with that breeds them. $300 is what he costs us. (not including the s**t that comes with the dog)

So yeah, bet you're wondering what the house looks like right? Okay, okay. I took pictures:

This is the front of our house, though the shutters are red, not black in the pic:

The yard is also huge, but I have no pics of it yet :[


ANYHOW, I should get to bed. I need to get up and switch ultilities before the hubby gets home from work so we can head to Lowes and Badcock. Hello 6am, the only time I see you is when I'm working or going to bed.
