We had Bear's parents come in last Thursday for Bear's b'day. I believe it was a good b'day for him ultimately. I woke him up with his parents b'day card and with my gift to him. He's been wishing for a new iTouch but didn't think he would get one. He's asked several times since I got my new iPod if he could get one too.. I had to keep telling ( Read more... )

So, I'm back from Indy as of yesterday.. The visit went well. I spend the first weekend cleaning our house and geocaching with Powerstar. That was a blast! :) We also went out to see Good Luck Chuck. Not necessarily Powerstar's cup of tea frontal nudity wise, however the story itself was cute and we giggled lil' school girls through it ( Read more... )

So, the inspection of our first home will happen on Friday, and our closing is set up for the end of the month. It's so hard to believe that this ordeal is almost over! I got the message today that I had to give my mortgage information to the title company so that they could get the mortgage paid off at the end of the month. I've already started ( Read more... )

Bear's now booked on a flight out for the closing. I'm still a bit unsure about the closing date, for I'm suppose to be presenting at a start-up meeting in Indy on the day, both in AM and PM sessions. Hopefully the closing will be either before or after the presentations. Anyway, we're getting prepared to donate our car up there to a charitable ( Read more... )

Bear called today to tell me that he called our realtor, in addition to receiving an e-mail from the broker. Apparently our realtor showed our house this week (although we never received a message stating that she had), and the couple she showed it to were very interested in the house. They had nothing bad to say about it, indicating they liked ( Read more... )

For all those following our housing drama, we signed with a realator back in April to sell our house in Indy. She presented herself well during our interview w/her, however once we were signed with her and we moved to Tampa she became non-responsive. She told us she didn't like open houses and would only do one for us if we requested it. We did ( Read more... )

I have a feeling that this is going to be a crazy year... I've been wanting to update everyone for the last several weeks on how things are going, however work has been a bear (the group I oversee has been getting bad press because of processes that were forced onto them by another group so I've been working on damage control during the days and ( Read more... )

I know that many are wondering how the move happened and whether I survived it. Believe it or not, I did and am all in one piece, even though all my stuff might not be. So, how did things go? As was indicated earlier, the movers were at our house for 10 1/2 hours. Not packing at all, for I did all of that. They were there so long because they ( Read more... )

For the first (and hopefully last) time in my life I am now a duel citizen of two separate states, owning property in each. Yes, we closed on the house this weekend in Tampa! Whoo hoo! Had a really good time overall during the weekend. We met our new neighbors, got free cake from Macaroni Grill when they heard about our accomplishments when we ( Read more... )

Well, it's been a good weekend in regards to getting things done, and I'm sore. The weather cooperated for the most part this weekend and thus I got some yardwork done that was sorely needed. We have a tree which produces round spiky seeds. Unforutnatly, the tree is quite prolific and it spreeds its seeds all over the yard. There must have been ( Read more... )
