It sure has been a while!

The past few days, we have been looking at couches and refridgerators. Why? Because we GOT A HOUSE! I think that the agreement came on the house on July 24, 2004. We were only looking for about a month, and we had to get this one-FAST! We were the first people to look at it, and we didn't want it to slip away. PICTURES!

We settle on Sept. 14. We have about 6 weeks to move in, since our lease ends at the end of October. It has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bath, full (unfinished) basement, 1 car garage. It is a single family attached (a.k.a. "Twin"). All the houses in the neighborhood look great.

So, we are waiting for the mortgage paperwork to go through, and looking at things to buy to fill it, like a fridge, couches, china hutch, etc. I need to do some minor repairs, and of course paint, as well as construct my workshop in the basement.

We are kinda busy in the upcoming weeks, with visits scheduled to our friends', and my Lake Placid trip for a GIS workshop the week after closing.

After struggling the last couple of years to get ourselves planted, things are FINALLY falling into place! Thanks Lisa and all my friends and family for helping us out, and giving us the encouragement to push ahead.
