Getting closer......

Inch by inch, we get closer to owning our new home. Seems like nothing else is going on in our lives to talk or worry about lately. I'll be glad when this whole thing is behind me and I can write about everything else that goes along with owning a home. Decorating!

Our inspection has been completed and the sellers agreed to putting on a new roof. That was one of the most nail biting weeks I've ever put in. Since they agreed, life seems a bit less stressful and I can breathe a little easier. Next step in the whole process is getting the appraisal done. That's our next big hurdle. Making sure it appraises for what the asking price is.

I have high hopes that it's not going to be a problem. Such high hopes, that we've already started talking about packing and organizing this place. Everyone knows how much I get off on organizing. It means breaking out the label gun!

I think one of the biggest things that bothers me through all of this process is our social life. I miss our friends. I miss hanging out for a couple drinks or grabbing a bite of dinner. Luckily, our friends are understanding and know exactly what we're going through. I miss being able to go see a movie or run down to Macy's to take advantage of one of their weekly sales. Hey, I still like to shop! I'm sure Kenneth Cole misses me desperately.

Disneyland is only 10 days away. Yes, we know the exact number of days. It's going to be an amazing trip.

These are the only two things on our horizon. New home and a Disneyland trip. I'm sure everyone out there is going to be happy when we stop talking about both of them.

We can never hear enough about Disneyland. George and I just got back from a great long weekend in L.A. and a fabulous day at California Adventure. We wanted to see it again before they start tearing it to pieces to redo the whole place. Too bad, we liked it the way it was. We'll be thinking of you when you'll be at Disneyland in ten...nine...eight...LOL

And good luck and all the best with your new home :)

Disney this, Disnay that... always with the Disney.

I'm sure it'll be the best let down of your life (sarcastically speaking, naturally) ;)

And your true friends don't care if you're too busy to spend time with them while your going through something like buying a new home. These things take time (and too much attention... it'd be easier bringing a baby back to the apartment.)

Hi Mark.

Long time no read. I thought you'd started this baby up again.

Putting you on the blogroll. Hope all is well.
