I would dance if I weren’t so tired

We are offically home owners once again!  Good bye apartment!!
We closed this morning on our house.  We were there for over 2 hours…Jake did great (thanks to the DVD player), but Emma just hasn’t been herself lately.  She hasn’t eaten a real meal in about a week.  She’ll take a bite here and there, but [...]

Until we meet again

I’m signing off for now…
We leave tomorrow for Maryland.  Today was an emotionally draining day, to say the least.  I’m not sure what the first couple of days are going to hold, but I’ll write when I can.
Catch ya on the flip side!

It begins

3 more days.
That’s all that we have left here.  The place that I have called home my entire life.  The place that I grew up.  The place that my parents live and most of my siblings live.  The place that I call home.

Fall Into Reading – My list!

T-minus 4 hours, 17 minutes

Tonight. Live. On stage. No kids. Dinner before at a non-chain restaurant. Great seats. We’re still in Ohio to see it.
Seriously, I may just start crying right now.

Thursday Thirteen – Apartment Observations

O.K.  So made it all the way to the letter D with my Thursday Thirteen lists before I got a little D-railed.  Get it?  “D” railed?  I crack myself up.
Anyway, I missed last week entirely because I was too busy thinking about house hunting and as we come to our final days in the apartment, [...]

Falling into place

Piece by piece, things are starting to fall into place with this move…

We signed what we hope to be the last of the paperwork for both the loan and the house contract and faxed it over to the today.
We submitted our notice to vacate for the apartment (YIPPEE!!)
We set a time for the title settlement [...]

We’re in contract!

We saw 21 houses in 10 hours.  Some houses we took our time in, some houses we knew right away that they weren’t for us.  One house we didn’t even get to see because we couldn’t get in the door.
But we found our house.  We put an offer in yesterday at noon and then hit [...]
