Ahh, it’s been another bit of a while since I last posted, hasn’t it? Well, let’s just attribute that to the fact that I’m working again. It certainly isn’t laziness. Yeah.
February is turning into quite a month. Not only is there a new job in the family, there is the potential for a new house in the near future as well. That’s right, folks, this past month or so Steven and I have formally dived into the chaotic and barmy world that is the house-buying experience. It has been quite the education trip.
Here one would probably drone on about all the people they’ve met, houses they’ve seen, and policies that have confused them, but our encounters have been pretty straight-forward — why bore you? I’ll get to the good stuff.
We’ve found our favourite house — now we just have to get it. Of course we have picked out the newly finished, last house to be built in this specific neighborhood. Because of that, we went ahead and submitted a bid on the house last Saturday; it’s ready to be sold and if we don’t jump at it now, somebody else will. We haven’t heard back yet, but our fingers are still crossed.
If we don’t get this specific house, it won’t be the end of the world. There are a lot of houses being built in Auburn right now . . . but I do so like the house we’ve found. Maybe we’ll get good news this week.
Maybe I’ll finally have a yard soon.
