Good Golly Miss Molly
*UPDATE - Nathan has a double root canal tomorrow morning.*
So we got the house across the street that we wanted. Now the people who bought our house need to sort out the glich they are having in financing so that Nate and I can close on the new house. Nathan does a good job of explaining why we bought that particular house so I plan to just copy and paste from his journal, as I have other things to post about.
"Here’s a picture of the new house from the porch of our current house…
I know, it seems crazy to move to another place that is so flipping close.
We had pretty much finished whatever real improvements we could do on our current house, so we decided to sell. As we went through the process of selling, we started looking for another place we could buy that could be fixed up. We looked at more than a dozen different houses of varying size, location and price. They were all what Realtor types would probably call “Handyman Specials.” We looked at the place pictured above a little over a week ago, it is in good enough condition that we felt confident in being able to do most of the work ourselves and we liked the layout.
Our plan is to stay for a year or two and then move on to another place. We’re really just trying to keep our broker as busy as possible. More updates about how things work out, our renovations and all that coming up soon."
Ok, so an update on the families health. About two weeks ago I got a nasty viral infection that I promptly gave to Leah, who promptly gave it to Nathan. It is finally pretty much gone. Other than that, Leah has been healthy. I wish I could say the same for Nathan and I. I got another abcsess, in the same spot. I now have to see some specialists. Nathan's toothache came back full force Saturday and yesterday his face started swelling. So he callled the dentist who called in a prescription for Nate to start. Nate sees the dentist this afternoon and I have a followup appt with my doc this afternoon as well. Thank God Leah has been relatively healthy(and sleeping well too!!). Plus, I finally figured out how to keep her poop in her diaper, all i had to do was stop giving her rice cereal.
Nathan and I are now living with our friend Katie. We started moving into the house we planned on renting but a few days after we moved stuff in, the house was broken into and the copper piping was stolen. Not only that but the people stealing the piping left the water main on which ending up flooding the basement. So needless to say we couldn't live in a house with no running water and we didn't feel comfortable in a house that was so recently broken into. So Katie was amazing enough to let us move in with her. It's been nice to have a place to stay and we feel really comfortable here. Katie's a great friend.
I got to go interpret for the whole day on Thursday. It was nice, I didn't realize how much I missed it until I was there. I think I'm going to let the agency know I'm ready to come back. Maybe just work once a week or something.
Ok, so i've updated about the house, the move, our health, work, I think I'm done. Over and Out.
