4-14-14...a day that will live in Fucking Awesomeness!

Today is pretty awesome! Actually all of 2014 has been fucking awesome so far! I closed on my new house today! I can't wait to get moved in and start my new job in my new city! My transition to my new job and my new house has been great so far, very busy, but also just seems to be coming together like clockwork! 

Still feel so much gratitude for everything and I am so excited about the future :-)


Today I feel grateful for (in no particular order):

1.) As always, my mom, who does everything she can for me and her family. She is always there for me even when I sometimes act like a jerk. I will be working on that going forward...

2.) Mar Mar who has graciously let me crash at her place so many times and with very short notice AND has helped me with the home buying process too!

3.) My realtor...she has been AMAZING! So patient, so attentive and so willing to help with anything I ask her to do. She has worked so hard and I am so happy she was on my team through out this process. She was Fabulous!

4.) My lender...he was also awesome! I mean...who is grateful for their lender?!?! Me! He took the time to explain everything to me and was also very attentive to detail and helped move all of my paperwork through so I could close so quickly. He was terrific! 

5.) My company for having such a generous relocation and home buying package! 

6.) My coworkers on my old and new team who have been willing to step up and have shown great personal leadership during this transition.

7.) My dad just because he is just awesome in general and always gives great advice. I am so excited for him and my mom to see my new place soon!

8.) My niece who made a very long drive with me to attend my home inspection during her spring break. Wasn't the most fun way to spend her spring break and Auntie is not always the most patient person in the world (will be working on that too) but I was so glad she came with me and can't wait for her to visit me this summer! Plus I am grateful because she always makes me happy :-)

9.) My friends who are always patient even when I don't call or email back right away and always supportive and encouraging and happy for me! I can't wait for them to visit! I am hoping to impress them with my forthcoming domestication :-)

10.) My insurance agent because she was also awesome and made sure I had all the coverage I wanted and made sure I was getting the best discount available.

11.) They sales guy today at Lowe's where I bought some appliances. He also  totally hooked me up and was very fast and efficient. I think he sensed I was a woman on the move and ready to GSD (get shit done) so I was grateful he was no nonsense and got down to business!

12.) My aunt and uncle who live local where I am living now. It has been so nice to be able to spend so much time with them and they have been so gracious to feed me home cooked meals and also happy to eat out and drink wine with me! I will miss them and hope they will come visit me in my new city!

13.) My chiropractor who has really helped me get back on the right track with awesome care and great supplements. Still a lot of work to do but I set up for success!

14.) I have to have 14 on my list today because 4-14-14 is now a lucky day and I didn't want to jinx it! I am grateful for the really awesome massage therapists I had in both Miami and in Austin.

They say it takes a Village but I say...

TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK!!!!
