Movin' Along

OMFG! We are moving into our new house today! WE ARE MOVING INTO OUR NEW HOUSE......RIGHT NOW!!!

I can't even tell y'all how happy we are. We've been waiting since November to close this deal. It's done. We sleep there tonight.

HAPPY JOY!

I can't wait to get my cat back from my brother over at http://korykinnick.blogspot.com/
Him and Peder have been watching her since we went to the coast almost 2 weeks ago. I miss my kitty.

And his name is....


Janez Vermeiren. He's beautiful. He get's a lot of viewing time as my desktop.

Anyway, today we begin excavating the crawl space in the new house! I'm excited and terrified. I'm claustrophobic, and we're talking about going under the house in haz-mat gear, respirators...all that...and in some places clearance is only 14 inches...guh. I'm also only 2 days out from oral surgery, so I'm hurting and I'm supposed to be avoiding physical exertions like this....but I don't really have a choice. We want to be able to move in, and FHA won't let us until this is done! So...I'll suffer through it and keep taking the pain meds and hopefully everything will be fine. Wish us luck!

I just love this guy!

Again....I could stare all day.

Inspections and Coasting

Yay! The house has finally been released to us by the surprise second lien-holder. We do the final inspections this Thursday. Move-in is around the 18th. We couldn't be happier about it. We snuck out to the property this past Wednesday with our friend Erin and did some thorough snooping and pilfering through some things that the previous owners had left....things like a lawnmower, a nice biggish gas grill (Sweet!), a 27 inch TV out in the "Mancave" (an outbuilding with playspace, a sauna and a shower) and a brand new vacuum cleaner....plus many more things. I can't wait to start digging through it all and selling it off on eBay and Craigslist. Might as well make a little money off of this ordeal, huh?

So Thursday after we're done inspecting, I get to come back to our rental and pack for a trip to the coast. It's Peder's (my brother's hubby) birthday and the four of us are going to a cabin at the beach for a few days. Very excited.
