Not really, but you’d think it from the crazy behavior at OUR house this week.
We have finally gone ahead and signed the myriad pieces of paper that have set the homebuying wheels in motion. We’ve been looking at the place for a LONG time. It belongs to friends of ours, they want a bigger place, we want our own place, so we finally took the step to get the loan. The nice bank lady got us our pre-approval and we brought her most of the papers she wanted. The other papers will be here by the end of the week and then we’ll get the contract put together with the sellers.
I’m genuinely excited. We’ve been more or less lucky renters for many years, but I’ve always felt uneasy in a rental. I know owning a home is a HUGE responsibility, but I also feel that having a place that is yours, that you can alter and mold to suit yourself is one of the things that connects you to the world. It’s probably some kind of female hormonal nesting thing, but I’m enjoying the anticipation while it lasts.
Tiernen, bless him, is somewhat more apprehensive. He’s concerned about the expense and the responsibility, and I really can’t blame him, but I’m too jazzed to be down for long.
So watch this space for updates and images. I’m hoping to document this process for those who might be interested.
On other fronts, my health is pretty good. Tiernen’s is still fluctuating. I’m trying to get him to the Dr., but he resists. We’re both busy with work. The kittehs are doing well. The giant robots endure and their forces are enhanced weekly by new arrivals (including Happy Meal toys *squee*). WoW continues well on Alleria server, although we are currently on hiatus due to a down cable line in the yard.
That’s it for now. Hope all remains well out there on the tubes.
