We bought a house!

Well, we put in an offer, it was accepted, and now all associated stuff that goes with buying a house is in progress. Monday the inspection is being done, the title company is working on their end, the financing is rocking along.... we have a move in date of on or before Nov. 23 set. How exciting!!!

I'm in my last days countdown at work. Only 10 more days for me to be physically in the office. It's going to be really hard to walk out the door that last day. There will be crying and lots of hugging.

Today would have been my dad's 89th birthday.

Happy Anniversary, Hubby!

We've been married 29 years today. Many, many more good years than bad, although we've had a few. Can't wait to start the next 29 years worth of adventures! Love you, Hubby! (hug hug hug)

On another note, our daughter starts her new job today in her new career: hair stylist. She's been beating the pavement really hard the last few weeks and this job panned out. I'm so happy for her!

So much going on

Since my last post the house has been put on the market and shown a handful of times. We've had two open houses, hopefully the one good lead from the last one will pan out. Our daughter is moved into her apartment and seems to love it. Hubby and I went to the UK for a week to celebrate his folk's 60th wedding anniversary. Hubby leaves tomorrow to go to Virginia for his new job and I'm staying behind. The house is already very quiet with our daughter gone, and now that it will be just me and the dogs, the quiet may turn to tomblike silence.

During all this I did finish all the baby knits in time to take to the UK with me, and I'm totally reknitting the baby hat that turned out to be way too small for my co-worker's squidlet. While in England I managed to knit past the heel of sock #1 I have in progress, and I'll get back to it when the hat is finished - again. lol

I am staying positive about the house selling, I have a good feeling that it won't be too much longer. The Universe has done a great job of providing the right things at the needed times all this year. Working on keeping that trend going. :)

Huge changes

Big doin's coming up: we are moving to Virginia. A really marvelous opportunity came about for my Hubby, and we couldn't pass it up. House should be on the market in about a week or so. Daughter is set up to move into her apartment soon, she didn't want to leave Oklahoma. She's old enough to be on her own and is really looking forward to it. She also adopted a 10 week old black kitten with dappled marking on her back, named her Sonar (really big ears), Sony for short.

Hubby will start his job most likely before the house sells, so I'm planning on staying behind for a bit. If all goes well, we won't be separated for long.

So exciting, all these changes!!

I miss her so much

Our beloved Spooky cat was hit by a car last night. She has been a part of our family for 19 years. We are having her cremated and the ashes returned so she can be with us forever. Our hearts are breaking. I hope she knows how very much we loved her. Safe journey over the Rainbow Bridge, Spooky. We love you.
