The house is ours! I think … We had until yesterday to ensure all our conditions were met (house inspection, insurance & mortgage). So it should be a done deal. So why am I all not so confident? Well on MLS the house is still listed, there is no Sold! sign yet and things were weird yesterday. There was no firm .. w00t you know? So as I suffer (along with Becca) with a cold, I am a little in a fog, wondering if it is all real.

Did we really just buy a house?

I think so.

J seems to be feeling it too. We talked till late into the night last night about furniture placement, daydreamed together about all the wonderful things there, all the things that will come there.

I wish it felt more real. December 1, seems so far away. There is so much between now and then. A lot of really fun cool stuff really. My Dad is coming for a visit, Halloween, our wedding anniversary and then the big move.

I hope it is just the cold talking … I have special plans this weekend that a cold would not be welcome … ugh.

What are your plans for the weekend?

I cannot believe it is only Tuesday. I collapsed last night, exhausted. Being on the go and organized and experiencing all of this is pure exhaustion. This week will be the crazy one, then it is a matter of waiting … waiting for the closing date … waiting to go home.

Ethan was remarkable yesterday. He spent his first afternoon away  from me. We had the house inspection to attend to. Initially J was unable to go, so I would have been flying solo with the children. We have never owned a home before, so I wanted to make sure we received a through overview of the house, its quirks and required maintenance. So my sweet friend took both my children for the afternoon!! I was so not sure how Ethan would fair, he bursts into tears if the distance between us is too great!

He cried when I left, however my friend called and said she placed him on the rocking horse after I walked out and he was giggling. The afternoon was wonderful for both kids (my friend has three children that are amazing so they always have a blast together) In fact when we came to pick them up, they were both happily sitting at the table, sweaty from playing hard, eating a snack.

The house inspection went AWESOME. The house although older is in wonderful condition. There are a few future improvements that will be done, however nothing pending immediate attention. We meet with our finance guru this afternoon (by then I should have our house insurance all set) and we have officially met all the conditions for the sale of the house.

Oh! J & I also went to meet the neighbor, just to see if he had anything to say. He was only positive and was so nice!! Unfortunately they are moving too!! They are in the navy and have been relocated They even have a daughter close to Becs age!

Oh! (things keep getting better & better hehe) There is a French Immersion school within walking distance! So next year I will be walking Becca to school! It is a nice small school and so close!!

What is your favourite aspect of your home?
