ARGH! I am so excited! I have this ginormous container of Quinoa Enchilada Bake because I literally put everything I could from our pantry into a giant mixture of cooked quinoa and baked it. We have been eating it for a week, but it is delicious and it is all we have left in our fridge! Why? BECAUSE WE ARE MOVING TODAY!
We close on our condo this afternoon. That's right! WE ARE GOING TO BE HOMEOWNERS IN 4 HOURS!
I couldn't be more excited and I can't believe I am at this stage of my life. This is amazing! I feel so proud to have a career and the ability to do this and I can't wait to make a home with Bri. Also, it is exactly 4 months until our wedding from today and that also makes me smile from ear to ear.
