Update...

Please forgive me for taking such a long absence in between posts; I forgot my password and was locked out until, Eureka!, today I remembered the password and was able to access my account once again.

A lot has been going on in my crazy life, most notably, I'm buying a house! The whole house buying process has been a complete roller coaster, and has been borderline comical and vomit inducing all at the same time. Example: I found two houses that I really liked and I was scheduled to view both houses on the same day. Later that day I found out that one of the houses was already in the purchase process (Why is it still up on the real estate website then? Makes no sense to me.) and the other was being taken off of the market so that a friend of the seller could rent it.

I'd looked online at the house that I'm now buying for a while, but for some reason never got around to going in to look at it. Once I did, it was over...I knew that this was "The One."

Since my offer was accepted, the roller coaster ride of buying a home has continued, but hasn't been too terrible. Now I am in the process of awaiting for the seller to hire another electrician (the first that she hired wasn't able to get to the house for another 2 weeks) to update the electrical system. The seller really has been great about accepting my concessions and requests, which has been very nice and surprising.

So, that's what's going on in my life right now. I'm actually closing on the house on my birthday, which will be a great birthday present to myself. Wish me luck, and pray that I don't fall off of the "roller coaster!"
