Talk about paperwork!

I've heard that there is a lot of paperwork involved with purchasing a house but it is more than I ever expected. I'm making trips back and forth to the fax machine at a local business and receiving fed ex shipments full of paperwork. It is all worth it though.

Ah the sweet taste of success

Tucson was absolutely awesome!! It was hot - up to 107 on Saturday adn we loved it! We had some difficulty deciding on a house as we just hadn't seen "the one" until Sunday around 1p. It was the last house we would see and it had just gone on the market Saturday afternoon and well..the sweet taste of success is that this is now MY HOUSE! Ahhh....

here, here, little House, here, here

We've been dreaming and talking for years, yes years, about purchasing a house and the time is finally here. Wow! Tomorrow, I'm off to Tucson, AZ to find that ever-elusive house. We are so excited to finally be able to take this journey so many before us have taken. I hope to check out at least 10 houses in the next few days and, hopefully by the end of the weekend, we will have put an offer on a house. Can't wait..the excitement is building.

Boxes, boxes and more boxes

The packing has begun! In my job, I got quite proficient at creating MS Access databases. Why do you want to know this? Because, I've just finished creating a database to track all the books we have. Yes, I know that is nuts but what can I say we have 4+ bookcases full of books. Things from Poetry and English Lit (think Shakespeare) to Medical (think Grey's Anatomy) in our bookshelves. Thought it would be useful to enter all these into a database as I pack boxes. Not only will we be able to figure out what books we have or don't have, we will also know what box (as I'm numbering them) what book is in! Organization is key. I know, I'm nuts! But, it is fun. Oh my, did I just say fun???

Daytime TV has nothing on this

Ah...the joys of not working....sitting on the beach under a beautiful sunny and blue sky, watching the waves crash in front of me, listening to the 2 guys I don't know playing trumpet and bongos. Ah...bliss!

My first post

Yeah!! this is my first blog post. Wahoo!!!

so, what do I tell my blog? Would you like to know about my day today? Well I am a recent SAHW so that means I can do whatever I feel like doing whenever I feel like doing it, within reason. So, today I've been out to Best Buy where I failed in my attempt to purchase a CD but that's okay, I can keep trying. I've played with my turtle - he is soo cute. I'll have to post a pic of him on here soon. I think I'm going to go for a walk - but you don't really care about that.
