Sitting and Waiting

We were told from our broker that we are to get a phone call from the escrow office this weekend to set up a time on Monday to close. Now it is Sunday afternoon around 3pm and no word yet. I have to say I’m getting worried. Not sure what all is going on. Just sitting and waiting. However our broker spoke with the broker selling the house and he said "yes they will have their new house keys by Wednesday". Never bought a house before I’m just not sure how it all works out.
Will keep you all informed.

More home stuff

Yesterday Steve got a call from our broker and we are ready to go forward with closing but we are still waiting to hear whats next. We are to have the keys on the 10th of December and so we just have to sign some time between now and about 24 to 28 hours before the 10th. We can’t wait to get moved. There are so many things we talk about that we can’t wait for. It will be just a thrill to be able to fully unpack all our stuff and it all be in one place. We have a lot of wedding gifts that we have not gotten to open or use so it will be exciting allover again to take them out and put them to use.
We will keep you all updated once we know more. Pray that it all goes smooth and fast.

Been meaning to...

So I have been meaning to write this for over a week now. I cut my hair last week. My plan was to post pictures of how long it got and then what it looks like now. I got the long hair picture but I’m not all for my new hairdo so I have not taken the picture. Others like it (Steve says he really likes it) but it is not what I had envisioned. Enough about my hair.
Now to home stuff. We will be getting keys the 10th of December (Wednesday) and that weekend we will be moving. Anyone who wants to help, you are more than welcome. We will keep everyone up dated.

Wii

Steve bought a Wii on Friday with prize money he won though work. I did not think I would really enjoy it but I was wrong. I really enjoy 2 or 3 out of the 5 games, boxing, bowling and tennis. I’m not so good at golf (which is one of Steve’s top favorites) or baseball (which he is very good at). I find that I go thought the full range of motion as if I was really out there playing. I don’t remember the last time I moved like that in a while. We played for a few hours on Saturday and we got very hot, sweaty and now we are sore. Also you can test your Wii age. Steve told me he got rated as a 33 year old. I thought ok this won’t be too hard, on Friday night after about 30 min of play time I was rated at 78 years of age. I was quite up set. They test you on speed, stamina, and balance. On Saturday after our few hours of playing, I re-tested and I’m now rated as 39 years old. Still got a lot of work to do but it is a blast to play. The Wii is very interactive and if you let it, it can really get you moving!
