Has it really been 3 weeks?
Wow. 
jostar_369 just sent me a message tellin me that I've neglected my LJ recently. I apologize for doing so, although I must admit that it isn't completely intentional :o) I don't have a particularly steady net connection at the moment as I'm still staying at Mom and Dad's, tho not for much longer as if all goes well we'll be sleeping at our place starting tomorrow night! More on this to come...
Lots has happened in the last month since moving back to Saskatoon. I just finished week number 3 at the company I'm working for now. Lots of learning. Lots of really neat information and I think I'm going to enjoy my job. Apart from looking for work, we spent the first 2 weeks of being here looking at places to live.
House hunting was quite entertaining. Jer was a ball of stress the entire time, poor guy. We opted for looking at condos and townhouses as he's thinking he'd like to go back to school at some point soon. We did check out some smaller houses as well and saw one we liked, but it was overpriced for what it was I think.
We ended up buying a condo here in Wildwood (literally 4 minutes away from Mom and Dad's). It's just over 1000 square feet. Two bedrooms, a den, a semi-workable kitchen, dining room, living room, bathroom, laundry room and a storage room off of the balcony which is also quite large. The bedrooms are a tad on the small side, but it works. We offered less than the asking price and they took the offer almost immediately. We got posession of it on Monday, started painting Monday night, finished painting on Wednesday night, did touch-ups and cleaning yesterday and had the furniture moved in this morning. Now all we have to do is get the net/cable or satellite and phone hooked up in the near future and we'll be nearly set. We would like to rip out the kitchen and redo it in the semi-near future as it's in not such great shape. The counter tops are in pretty bad shape, and it I'm going to replace the counters, I might as well do the cupboards so that we can have what we want :o)
I should start packing up the stuff I have strewn around the room here so it's at least sort of ready to take over to the condo tomorrow.
jostar_369 we miss you guys and will hopefully have everything set up for some gaming in the (very) near future!
