New Home Owners

Not the greatest picture of me, but it's all 5 babies AND me...  how often does THIS happen?!  :)  Probably never again!  LOL 
All were tired and warm (the house had been shut tight for several days with no a/c until we got there).  Sedona was being a punk (goof), but this only adds to the memory :)
Two of my great friends came out to help me clean the house and get it ready for me to move in...  in 3 hours, the three of us knocked out every room in the house.  :) 
As the sun was setting, I went out back (west facing backyard) to let the dogs out.  I stood out there and listened to the neighboring bird farm and watched the sun go down at our new house.  The dogs seemed happy...  their mom is happy...  all is well. 

and we're closed!

Life update

Life has been on high speed these last few weeks...  I signed at the title company on Friday.  Bringing home that big packet of paper was kinda cool.  I sat it up on the stairs and glanced at it here and there, reminding myself what it was...  Seems crazy.  :)  The boxes are stacking up all over the house. 
The sellers go and do their paperwork tomorrow, so I should get my keys on Tuesday.  TUESDAY.  Like as in... the day after tomorrow.  *happy dance*
I have a couple of awesome friends coming on Tuesday to help me clean the new house.  It's been vacant for 10 months, and we've had some serious dust storms come through the valley this summer...  I will go over every day after work to finish and will start taking things over.  The dogs will begin to go back and forth on Tuesday too! :)  I have Two Men and a Truck coming on Saturday to help with the contents of the upstairs, the appliances, the furniture and as many boxes as I can get them to take in the time I have them for...  :)  Whatever is left, I will transport for the next week.  :)  I will be coming back to THIS house next week to clean THIS place up. 
Just a few more days of carrying the puppies down the stairs.  :)  HOORAY!
Speaking of the puppies ~ they are awesome.  :)  All of em.  :)  Dakota and Chance have had a few nasty little squabbles lately - not sure what's causing them, so I'm watching very carefully.  They're good most of the time though, so it's not causing too much stress.  Sedona is good - she's noticing something is going on and is being a little more clingy than typical.  Mason is getting SO big.  He's got a big lions mane already!  He knows sit pretty reliably and choses to ignore me when I say "come".  He might find himself enrolled in a puppy class.  Mia started handling class today - and she was 'push button'.  Gaited effortlessly, was happy happy happy, stood tall and proud on the table and stood nicely when I asked her to.  She started out looking at me a lot, and by the end, I had her able to look ahead as she gaited next to me.  Push. Button. Little. Show. Dog.  :)
School started for me this week - it's not nearly as overwhelming as last semester.  :)  Two semesters of coursework left, and then my internship.  I'm ALMOST there! :) 

Corgi butts....
