Mi casa es...

¡Buenos días a todos! Es un día glorioso - hace un tiempo increíble hoy. And besides the lovely weather, it looks like we have a house!When mi hermana came over on Saturday she mentioned that she had driven by the house and seen this outside...

We have come to terms with the sellers regarding a couple of things that showed up in the inspection process; They will effect a repair to the foundation and provide a copy of the sealed well certificate. They have declined to upgrade the wiring too 100 amps, but may have to put in some money toward it if the appraiser puts it in on a work order. So, as I understand the process now, the appraisal will be ordered this morning, and may take a couple of days to actually schedule. So long as the appraisal does not come in as less than the accepted purchase price we are good to go. I told Moose on Saturday that emotionally and mentally I have been resisting calling the house "ours" yet in case something went awry, and asked her if the house is ours now. She said the only thing that could affect that status is the appraisal, so, "it is virtually yours." I'm virtually very happy.

...and we're virtually packing. :-)

An now, for something completely different. Hijo número 2 partió ayer para un encampamento. It's the same MS camp he attended last summer, at the same location, and he's really been looking forward to it. M'hija asked if she could attend next year. Besides not meeting the age requirement yet next summer, I'm inclined to decline. I think it is important for Hijo No. 2 to have something like that "belongs" just to him and no one else in the family. Especially, at least for now, his kid sister. I decided not to try to explain all of that to her just yet, but did point out that generally she will be at Girl Scout camp the same week (we didn't make the application deadlines this year, so she's home this week).

I'll be taking some time off work starting at the end of this week to get the house ready to move. Then I'll need more time off to recuperate. Right?
