Does anyone know how I can contact Val?

Plus, there are many phone numbers that I no longer have because of the death of my phone several months ago. Please send me your number to laurarosegrady at gmail dot com.

I just got word that the temporary certificate of occupancy came in from the city today! This was the very last piece we were waiting for before we could set our closing date. I had been warned that it could take months. But it came in! I am more excited than I can express! I can't WAIT to move!
