Rejoicing

I've been working an average of 45 hours a week since I started, which hasn't left all that much time for blogging. But, with the availability of overtime drawing to a close until the holidays, life is easing up enough to where I think I'll be able to check in a bit more regularly and let y'all know what's going on.

Like the house. Someone finally made an offer on the house yesterday. Six and a half months after we put the thing on the market, someone finally made us an offer we couldn't refuse. That is, they made us an offer at all.

There was much rejoicing.

They're offering $7k more than we were asking (which is still $7k less than we asked in March) and asking us to cover closing costs. Word, we're thrilled. The best thing is that the closing is tentatively scheduled for later this month, when Nena was gonna be back in LTown for business anyway. Yeah, she can roll into town, visit my old employer, run over to the house, dig up St. Joseph, run over to the title place, sign over our first house and go visit the other schools in LTown.

There are those who say that you never feel as grown up as when you buy your first home. I disagree. You never feel as grown up when you sell your first home.

That's pretty much it. We're going to Cubero tomorrow night, Nena leaves for Arizona on Saturday and I'm gonna head on down to the Trinity Site for one of their biannual open houses. Pictures should be up later this weekend.

Oh, and one more thing before I run off. One of my supervisors at The Minuteman has convinced me to put in for a promotion. I'm not entirely sure if it's cuz he wants to give me the promotion or if he wants to have someone to turn down when he gives someone else the promotion, but either way I'm pretty pumped that I've been asked. Yeah, word. Until later....
