New Condo!!

Well, Lee and I bought our first home together Monday. It was a harrowing ordeal. Our realtor and attorney were amazing. The seller was pretty good. Our lender was reprehensible. When I think about the frustration they inflicted upon us it upsets me all over again. It was all unnecessary too. They were not organized enough to find the information we had already sent and consequently we had continue to resubmit the same information over and over again. Then we could never get ahold of them. It got so bad that I had to start calling from borrowed cellphones so that someone would pick up the phone. *sigh* But it's over now....

As I said before, it is a terrific new condo that I believe will work quite well for us for the foreseeable future. You can see some preliminary video footage from the youtube video below. We will be sure to put up some pictures after we are all moved in.

We are really excited about the area. The park across the street is amazing and it will be a welcome retreat this summer. Lee loves me so much that she bought me a basketball, even though she is not likely to play with me.

We move in this Saturday so everything is in a chaotic jumble right now. The to do lists are getting long enough to type. You would think with as many moves as I have done that I would have this moving business down cold. Every time it seems to get just a little more complicated than the last time.

Lee and I have been working in opposing directions. I have been closing accounts, while she has been setting up the new ones. We might actually be moderately settled, physically and digitally, by Monday. That’s the hope anyways.

My brother heads up this weekend with a bunch of my junk from my parents’ house. I am sure my Dad will be happy to see it go. I have not allowed myself any time to think about what fun things we could do together while he is here. We are going to be plugging away in our short-sighted tunnel vision a little while longer.

If you are reading this, come visit soon.

We are currently taking bets on how long it will be before you catch us saying "oh yeah, buying the condo was a piece of cake." Even money is on November.

Love,
