Wow, a lot has happened in the last month, I have just been way too busy to actually write about it. Because today is nice and quiet at the office though, it seems like the perfect time to catch up anyone who is interested.
WORK
Been busy and been learning, everything but grammar that is. I had my first oral argument all by myself that I lost part of and won part of, I have also been steadily increasing my skills and looking towards the future. Our arbitration that was interfering with my life has been put off and looks like the case may settle (yay!) And my other work concerns have been taken care of... mostly.
LIFE
I guess the biggest thing I have to write about is that Chris and I bought a house! I wanted to save some of the pictures online, but the listing got taken down before I had the chance tog et them. It was built in 1921 and has 3 bedrooms and two baths, an unfinished basement and is about 1400 sq. ft. It has the original fireplace an wood floors in the front room and is gorgeous. The windows, doors, roof, furnace and air conditioner were replaced in the last 10 years and look to last a few years more. The attic has been converted into a master bedroom with its own (tiny) bathroom and it has claw foot bathtub and porch swing! I can’t wit to sit outside on the swing with a book and a glass of wine. It is in the town part of Indiana (where I live) but the town is smallish so that is not bad, but it is only 20 minutes from Louisville and my job. We close in 2 days and my mortgage lady and realtor have been awesome. We looked at 2 dozen houses at least and this one was perfect. It has the charm and updates and it comes with all the appliances. Back in December we put in a bid on another house and I freaked out when they counter offered and stopped the whole thing. I am so glad I did. That house was a touch nicer but this one fits our personalties perfectly. So for my birthday (St. Patrick’s day, March 17th) we will be moving into the new house so if you live around here, I am offering beer and pizza for your help!
