Fire
Well, blast. We didn't get the house that I really wanted, but we found a really decent, cute house that has an amazing vibe and is in a much better location. It needs some fixing up, but I think the house is going to be wonderful. And we're closing on Monday!!!
I'm so glad that we found a house since, a few days after we found it our landlord was trying to unfreeze some pipes on our house with a blowtorch (sigh) and burned down half our house. It's been a couple of weeks now so I can say that more or less calmly. We've been living in my parents-in-law's basement (Dan and I, our three cats, our two toads and occasionally Noah) for the last couple of weeks and I can NOT wait to move!
But...even though we can move in on Monday, all of our stuff (everything that wasn't damaged in the fire, which luckily wasn't much) is being cleaned (it all smells horrible and is covered in ash, plus a lot of it is water damaged) and won't be delivered until a week later. This will give us a chance to get everything painted before we move the furniture in, so I'm ok with it (well, trying to be).
What a month!
