We got the good news today that the appraisal is scheduled and everything is on-track for our closing on Tuesday. Let's all shout a collective, "Hooray," shall we?
HOORAY!
The moving van will try to roll up our abysmal driveway on Monday, whereupon hordes of game wardens will fill it up with all our wonderful junk, then I run the vaccuum around one last time, and we go sign papers. We'll head to Boise, overnight in a hotel somewhere, and sign on the new house Wednesday. Our realtor thinks we can take occupancy of the new place on the day of closing, and we're hoping that works out. (Sometimes, in fact, usually it doesn't work out that way. Your $$ has to overnight in a financial institution for some reason.)
There are definitely some things about Cascade that I'm going to miss. I walked in to work today and there was a five-pound bag of Hot Tamales on my desk, a "parting gift" from that co-worker of mine who sulked for three solid weeks in November when I told him we were moving. Sweet, eh?
The women I exercise with are going to be much-missed. Where in Boise am I going to be able to pick up good gossip about people I know slightly? That's where I learned about the girl who had stomach pains and delivered a baby. (Update: She knew she was pregnant and just didn't want to tell her parents. It's so much gentler when your amniotic sac just explodes all over the kitchen floor, dontcha think?)
Sigh...I'm glad that there will be good times and good people to miss. I'm grateful for that, and I'm so looking forward to the next phase of my life.
Finally, can anyone guest-blog for a week or so until my computer/internet connection is reestablished?
