Check the gallery… lots of new pictures to see including our new house, 4th of July, our trip to the beach, Bethany & Shane’s wedding and, of course, new pictures of the cat. Would life really be complete without more pictues of Ratzi??
we’re officially crazy.
Matt was supposed to have to go to West Virginia on June 26, so I made my last day at work June 22 so that we could move before he had to leave. That takes a week off of our original plan, but we thought it was still do-able. Then the floors took too long to dry and now Matt might have to go to West Virginia on June 20 instead. We were having some trouble finding moving help, too, but that’s getting better.
I just have to figure out how to get this place packed between now & next Sunday. I might even have to break down & go to the liquor store to ask for boxes.
(seriously that’s the best & only phrase I know in Latin… it’s great!)
I have a garage door opener sitting in front of me. I love it :)
Closing went off without a hitch this morning. The previous owners seem like *really* great people and they’re only moving about a mile or so away (building a new house) so that helps to reassure me that the area where we’re going to live is a nice place to raise a family. We have school aged kids on either side of us so hopefully by the time we have some kids of our own we’ll have some convenient baby-sitters :)
We got a whole envelope full of useful stuff from the previous owners including instructions for just about everything they ever installed in the house (dishwasher, faucets, etc) and even some pictures of the way the house looked when they bought it and some pics from when they remodeled the bathroom. I’m hoping to scan & post those tonight on in the gallery and I already took some pics so that we have our own “before & after.” Those I’ll have to get developed (I’m stubborn & haven’t gone digital yet) so it might be a bit ’til I figure out where it’s safe to leave my film down there, lol.
Pictures can be seen here as our work progresses.
Only two more days until we close on our very first house!! Pictures can be seen here. Right now, the pictures are from the real estate listing. In the near future I’ll be adding some “before,” “during” and “after” pictures of our moving adventure. The big move is set for the very end of June or very beginning of July to give us plenty of time to get things cleaned up & painted and to plan where everything will go.
In other news, my foot is on the mend. Hopefully I’ll be able to ditch the crutches very very soon.
I had my bloodwork on Tuesday afternoon without any major catastrophy. We met with the Mortgage Man, too, and that went well. Wednesday, my HSG went well & those results were good. I did find out that I have to have some further testing on my thyroid, though. Whoda thunk a skinny little nothin’ like me would have a thyroid issue? My surgery today was absolutely fine. I was asleep for the whole thing & I was told that I snored. (no surprises there!) I was in pain for a little while in the recovery room but they couldn’t find my dr to get him to sign off on my happy drugs. By the time they did find him, I wasn’t in pain anymore. Mostly I just can’t seem to get comfortable, but I have the happy drugs for if/when I do need them.
Matt’s leaving shortly to spend the night at his mom’s because he has to be in West Virginia ASAP tomorrow morning, so I’ll be on my own for probably about 24 hours. It should be an interesting adventure. Luckily, I have an excess of peanut butter toast supplies. And string cheese.
