We're Moving!!

Well, not too far from our current house. We are leaving the 'burbs and moving back into Wichita to be closer to work/school/friends.

On a tip from one of our good friends, we checked out a cute house in Riverside (the neighborhood, not the city) down the street. Actually, we drove by at 3:00am while leaving a party and said a collective, "Eh." to what we saw. But it was 3:00am, and that would make anything prospective seem icky. For example:

"It's 3:00am, and I should wash my face before bed, but eh."

"It's 3:00am, and I should probably change out of these clothes that smell like an ashtray, but eh."

"It's 3:00am, and I should maybe take some ibuprofen to head off the certain hangover, but eh."

That's pretty much how we felt about the Riverside house until I found it listed on craigslist.com and decided that we should go for it. You know that little saying about not judging a book by its cover? Yeah. Lesson learned:

{this looks much different at 3:00am}

{The Hubs}

{those French doors go to the screened-in patio}

{clowning around in the creepy dining room mirror}

{dining room pre-move and kitchen}

{basement, aka the hubs' art room}

{most of these were boxes of books...}

You guys...it's such a cute house! And it has a PANTRY! You can imagine my glee as my husband and I figured out that this house has a pantry. I've always wanted one of those.

And there is a screened-in back porch, and a garage, and gorgeous ceiling fans, and built-in shelving, and walk-in closets, and a bitchin' fridge, and a privacy-fenced backyard, and a huge front yard, and it was built in the 1930s, and it has cute fireplaces, and a BASEMENT, and a cupboard under the stairs (like in Harry Potter, yeah!)...and...and...and...

And for only $50 more a month than we are currently paying for rent.

So this week, our life is in boxes, waiting to be moved over. I have some food-stuff to post tomorrow or later, though we will probably be without le Internets for several days. How will we manage?!?

Have a wonderful week!
