Farewell PWC, Hello LoCo

We are FINALLY moving out of Prince William County! It's been an idea we have been throwing around for a few years but our current situation (being upside-down on our mortgage and not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel) had us feeling like a new house was just a dream. Wrong! After months of weighing all of our options for our current home versus a new home, meeting with multiple lenders and real estate agents, we found a house we love and we are set to close at the end of the month! There is going to be so much to do moving from this:
into a single family home! It will be a long process until everything is perfect, but I am looking forward to it. I already bought our first piece of artwork- a water color map from Etsy. I plan on putting it in our living room/sitting room area. Part of the reason that I picked this piece was because I can chose any color scheme for the room as far as furniture, rugs, accent pillows, etc.
This month will be full of packing and donating all of the stuff we don't use or don't want to bring, and next month will be full of unpacking and setting up our new home!

day drinking

At a brunch for my best friends birthday, someone said "day drinking is what happens when you turn 30."
I wasn't thrilled about turning 30. Is anyone? Truth is, it sounds a lot worse than it is. Really. I've had major milestones happen in my life since turning 30 and things keep getting better! I'm not going to look back on all the things I didn't do before the big 3-0, nor am I going to go into detail of all the happenings in my first 30 years of life. Instead I think I'll just try this blog thing ONE MORE TIME and chronicle my life after 30. After all, if day drinking is what happens once you turn 30, some of these posts might be quite entertaining :)
