So, I’m working on drywall in the new office in the new house, and the little club house thingy around the corner is hosting a wedding reception. So far, I’ve heard Girls Just Want to Have Fun and Love Shack. It’s that kind of wedding DJ. The sort that we didn’t have.

I’m betting Wang Chung before 10:30.

So , the house closed today, we’ve got the keys, and the seller has left the building. I think that we’re finally at the point where we’re sure that this thing is going through.

This has been a nerve wracking time to be in the home buying process — daily news of some segment of the mortgage industry imploding in on itself tends to make one think that your lender may actually be a black hole if you look closely enough. But, it did fund. Our lender is still in business. And now that we do have the house, we just bought into a very uncertain market.

On the other hand, we could very well be in this house for a long long time. It’s got character, land, and an office. And blackberries and a pond. And a pretty spacious kitchen. And. And. And. And squirrel portraits on the walls.

For your friday cat viewing pleasure.
