Well, our house inspection went well. It was yesterday. It looks like the house is pretty much ready to be sold. A couple of minor fixes and we should be well on our way to homeownership! Also, I have an interview tomorrow! Wish me luck :) I've (perhaps prematurely, but who cares) ordered curtains for the kid's rooms. And started priming DD' ( Read more... )

we'll take possession of the house on Sept. 30. There is one catch... the owner needs to have another house under contract by Aug. 31. Her realtor is really working hard to do that! Yeah! We are excited, but trying not to overreact until it is a done deal (for the kids' sakes ( Read more... )
