Paul went to the house today to take some pictures. They poured the garage and basement floors, and installed all but 3 windows. Paul said there were signs hanging in the windows they didn’t install that read that the framing was wrong (not tall enough or wide enough, etc). We’ll check back tomorrow to see what that’s all about.

Yay! We had our closing at 3pm today, and everything went smoothly!
Now we’re one step closer to our dream home! The lady that’s buying our home seems really nice, we think she’ll really like the house. Welcome to the neighborhood Margaret!

Spent the whole night tonight, all day yesterday, and part of the weekend finishing our move from our home in Erlanger. What a feat! I never want to move again. Bleh.
I’m already dreading moving all that stuff in April, but Paul and I are planning on renting a truck and doing it in 1-2 trips versus the 40-50 we took in my mom’s van trucking everything to storage.
Got everything packed up safely, except for the glass for Paul’s computer desk which I completely shattered in 1,000,000 pieces when I barely touched it on the floor, and our dining room table which is now split in 1/2 thanks to Philip (my little brother) who sent it rolling across the parking lot, only to smash into the storage wall and break in two *sighs* Oh well, life goes on.
We’re going to try to get a picture of us tomorrow after the closing with our “SOLD” sign. Keep your fingers crossed! Tomorrow at 3pm is the closing! yay!!!

We took some videos of the house (pretty much the same as the pictures on 1/1/06) but it’s fun to watch, and gives you a better perspective of everything.
There are separate videos of each section of the house, then one very large one that combines them all into a movie.
Enjoy!

Paul and I went out with our friends Mark and Jaime to Mainstrasse in Covington, KY. Unlike last year, we got there early (about 9pm) and hung out at The Village Pub until about 10:30, then went over to the Strasse Haus. We got too crunched in there, so we went to Cock and Bull for the ball drop. I actually missed the ball drop because we were looking for my cell phone that Paul lost. We found it about 10 seconds after the drop….in Paul’s pocket. Oh well.

The interior of the house is completely framed now. We took pictures of all the rooms, from every angle (about 60 pictures). We did take videos of the house as well, so if you don’t feel like looking through all the pictures, you can just look at the videos. However…I accidently erased the videos, so I’m heading out later today to retake them. Enjoy the pictures for now! Things are really starting to come together!
