I have a home! phew!

So for those of you who were wondering about my future place of residence... no worries, I will not be living in a cardboard box. phew!  We (my current roommate and my roomie to be) found a house.
We aren't THAT crazy... I promise! =)
Yep, not an apartment, not a duplex, a whole house! All to ourselves.  AND we each have our own bathroom. sweeet!  Now I grew up sharing a bathroom, and the first time I moved out I shared a bathroom for 4 years.  But over the last year I've had my very own bathroom and it would be so very hard to go back to sharing! seriously!  I think if I get married someday I'll make the hubby use another bathroom. haha I like to spread my stuff out. =)
Anyway, we will be moving this weekend.  The one weekend this month that is it snowing and cold and everyone is busy.  Man, can we pickem.
The wonderful thing about this place (well there are many wonderful things really) is that if I'm understanding the lease correctly we technically only have to stay for 6 months.  So CO is still in the mix, thank you Jesus! =)  Oh and we have a garage and a huge backyard and it's just a few blocks from my church.  and it has a wood burning fireplace and we will have basically two living rooms (one upstairs, one downstairs) and we can have EDGE bible study at our house now. yah!
The downsides (yes, there are a few), I have no closet, technically speaking.  There are these makeshift built-in things that have no front.  But we'll just throw a curtain up and it will be dandy. Oh and the sump pump is in my bedroom, BUT I'm pretty sure my bedroom is the largest so that's ok. And it's downstairs alll by iteself, I kinda like that.  We have to do our own yardwork and snow removal but honestly I don't mind mowing (snowscooping is another deal entirely).  Also its across town from work, this is the biggest bummer of them all.  But I've done it before (drove across town every day for 3 years to go to work) I can do it again.  It'll be fine.
So that's the jist of it. We have a roof over our head and I'm looking forward to having more room. yah.

In other news... it's snowing... I thought spring was on it's way.  Though I spose it's only Feb.  I'm done with winter and cold weather, I'm ready for lake days and wakeboarding!!! Come oooon summer!
~I decided we should just skip spring and go straight into summer. ;)
This will be me this summer... haha
