two weeks..and then it's curtains....

We have two weeks till we say goodbye (forever) to this house. I am so excited. I feel like a kid at Christmas. We have a new nest of birds in our bedroom wall...again, and they are right by the head of our bed....and LOUD. My dog has been getting out lately and every time he does, he goes to the farm and rolls in a big steaming pile of horse poop. The flies are starting to get bad (when it isn't raining). It has been pretty cold this last week and the heater (surprise surprise) doesn't work...again.

I'm glad I will be able to work out in my living room again. Right now we are scared to because the floors are uneven and our TV shakes! There are tons of things I did not include in my letter to this house that AJ was bringing up to me...mink that ran up on us and got scared/ chased by the dogs, screamed bloody murder, then proceeded to spray....that was actually kinda funny now that I think about it. There are many things wrong with this house that make me so excited to leave. On the other hand...I think, this was our first real place as a married couple. I can't count the "igloo" house we WERE going to buy, but only stayed 6 months. That does not count since it was hardly a house. Now that I think about it...it seems as if a major requirement for "our" houses is "Heat must not work several months out of the year", house must be uneven (the first one...I could push the wall and it moved!), must smell, must have plumbing issues, must have inconsiderate neighbors. We have bad luck with homes. Hopefully we got a winner this time.

Back to the issue..we have been married almost 6 years and we have lived here for almost three. This is the longest we have lived somewhere. Story was just under a year when we moved in here. Aside from the long list of things I will not miss, I am a little sad to go. We have had a lot of firsts here. I think the main thing is fear of the unknown. This house sucks, but I know it sucks, I know it's quirks. I know the landlords...I know not to bug them or I will be told I can get out. I don't however, know the new landlords. I don't know what quirks the new apartment will bring. Hopefully it is nice and there are not many issues at all. (In a perfect world haha)

So it is two weeks. Two weeks to goodbye. Two  weeks to a new chapter. Two weeks to the unknown. Two weeks. Fourteen days. Two weeks to "Christmas". Not too much longer now....
