It's a done deed!!!

We closed this morning on the old house!!! What a good feeling. We thought this day would never come, and now it's a done deed. Done, in the past, finito. year of hard, back-breaking, blood-sweat-and-tears work, finally comes to fruition. It truly is the OLD house now!!!

We moved into a condo last Sunday, it's nice and cozy and now we can finally focus on unpacking. Since we moved here, we've been focusing on cleaning up the old house, so we still have many boxes around and situating to do. We have a wonderful landlord, he just bought the place like 2 weeks ago, and is very flexible with our timeline. Great price, too - much cheaper than most comparable apartments. The only downside - it's on the 3rd floor. What a bee-otch that was to move! Our thigh muscles were burning like crazy! But maybe it will make us lose a few pounds...LOL.

The new house (I know, we have such great terminalogy these days, and that's how we think - old house, condo, new house - LOL) is in permitting. We have a few additional papers to sign tomorrow, and I hope they have a "sold" sign on the lot so I can get a pic. Should be breaking ground in 6 weeks or so, and done (hopefully) by June 30th.

Since moving, our email addresses are not working - if you need me, text and/or facebook me. Our phone number stayed the same. :)

House Hunting has begun!

We are looking for a new place to live! So far all the workings with the sale of our home are going well, in fact might happen as early as the first week in Feb. So... we are looking at apartments, houses, townhomes, everything. Saw two this morning - one in Cheval (amazing) and another, closer to Manda's school (not so amazing). We want to rent until we find/build a new house to buy. Keep your fingers crossed for us!
