Its been so long!

Wow, I can't believe its been 4 weeks since I've posted. I've thought of it often and while I can't exactly say what's kept me so buisy, I feel that I've hardly had a chance to breath! Where does the time go. We've been busy with "house" things - hopefully we will have pictures for you before next week. The closing was supposed to be tomorrow, but sadly we still have no idea when we are closing! Its very frustrating. We've been really annoyed with our mortgage broker who has dropped the ball about 20 times. And the last thing is that the woman we are buying the house from has already pre-signed all the paper work and moved to another state. That's all fine, great and wonderful - but she hasn't cleaned out the house - there is still furnature in it! We're truly frustrated, but praying that God will work everything out in his due time. We started packing a few weeks ago so there are lots of boxes all over the house!

April has been an odd month as far as weather goes! We had a lovely 3 days of 70 and 80 degree weather followed by a lot of cold and rain - can you say flooding!!?? I posted a couple pictures of our local park for you to see the wet...

Happily there are signs of spring starting to shine through... The leaves are starting to come out and I saw someone mowing their lawn the other day!

The Good... and the Bad...

Well, the good news is the we had the inspection on the house yesterday and it went very well. There is nothing major wrong with the house at all. Small things that we can fix or improve here or there, but nothing big. Of course there will always be things that we want to do to improve and to make it look the way that we want it, but we have the next 30 years to do that while we pay on it!!

The bad - actually not bad, but dissapointing - thing is that we weren't able to get any more pictures. :( For one thing we were with the inspector the entire time listening to everything that he had to say. But, we also weren't expecting that the woman who owns the house now would actually be there for the inspection! (Along with her 2 kids and her father!) The owner is definately allowed to be there but most chose not to be as its kindof awkward. She stayed off to the side out of the way, but we still felt that it would be a little intrusive to run around taking pictures. Oh, well. I'm sorry, but you will all have to wait till after the closing.... as will we. :(

Oops...

Please bare with me - my blog is under construction.... Hopefully the grand reopening will be soon. :) Thanx to Morgan - I have now discovered how many more options I have! I will probably change the colors several times over the next few days till I find what I want.
