The times they are a changin

Just thought I would give a quick update on whats new in the werld of us.
Katie starts her new job tomorrow at Supervalu corporate HQ. We hope that the new environment is more relaxed challenging and fun! The pay raise is a definite plus but enjoyable work atmosphere will help with the daily grind.
On the housing front - We got the house inspected and nothing majorly bad was reported. There is a broken window in the basement that is holding up the process. Now the bank(sellers) said they would get it fixed so we could get it appraised and move on with the process but just our luck they flipped on us and said no way. So we are trying to figure out this mess and in a hurry so we can close on time. Which by the way would be in about 3 weeks!!!
Micah was up for the weekend to run a half Marathon and Jon got to spend some time with him and his family on Saturday at Dave and Busters. It was a blast!

Katie's dad joined us for dinner on Monday since he was in the neighborhood. It was fun to have company over and Katie made a wonderful dinner!

Last night we went to see Clash of the Titans. It was a fun movie full of visually impressive battles and landscapes. All in all an enjoyable relaxing night at the movies.

Hope to have more concrete news on the house in the next week or two! Also excited for LOST again next week and warmer weather.

Lets try this again....


So once again we are living at City Gables in Lauderdale and the new home buyer tax credit deadline is approaching and we have a house we like and an offer accepted on it. Oh yeah and once again the day after we accept another offer the short sale we've been waiting on finally responds. So we are trying to buy a house and found this one in the north end of St Paul. The neighborhood is not Lauderdale by any means but the house is nearly brand new and has a layout we really like. So we are going to try and get it. Now the offer has been accepted so its "ours" but we've been in this situation before and we're still living in an apartment. So we are hoping everything goes through but trusting that whatever happens is Gods will.

Hope to report back with good news soon!
