Nothing new to report

Although there's not much of anything new to report, I thought I'd just add a little post. The month of June is almost over and it's getting closer and closer to the time where we'll be moving. We're still waiting to hear back from the mortgage company - we've been warned that the underwriting can take a little while, and since we're not closing until the middle of August, I doubt they'll be rushing to get ours done.

I've got to start making a list of all the things we need for the house... like blinds, towel and toilet paper holders, the fridge, rugs, furniture, paint... agh! It's craziness (and everything is so $$$!) We'll get it all together soon, we'd better!

Paul's been working at the NC plants this week. He was in Eden yesterday and he's in Raeford today. It's really, really nice to have him home for dinner. We've cooked the last 2 nights and tonight we're planning on meeting my mom and brother for dinner at the cafeteria... it's a Wednesday night tradition thing.

That's all for now. Guess I'd better attempt to be productive. It's still just a bit too early for lunch. I'll update more after the weekend (we plan to take Philip and Jenn to the house on Friday).

House June 19, rear windows. All the windows are in and there are a whole lot of them! The insides are coming together quickly. According to our estimated closing date (and hearing from other residents about their determination to be one time), we're just 7 weeks out! Yes, we have 7 weekends to go until we close and the house is ours! YAY!

House on June 16th
