House Progress & Fun
Saturday, we got up fairly early and went over to the house to meet the appraiser guy. Even though I was anxious to go, Steve was dragging his feet. He claimed that we didn't have to rush because Cubans are always late. When we were about 10 blocks away (and 15 minutes late), the guy called to tell me he was done. We rushed over there and he decided to go in with us again. We talked with him a little while and he said that the house looked really good. He just had to prove the price on paper. Hopefully, it is right on the money. If it is less, they can cancel our contract and hope someone pays cash for the difference. We talked to him for a little while and then he left. We continued to tour around the house several times getting more & more excited about the changes we would like to make. Later on that day, we went to our mortgage broker's house to sign MORE papers. We were told that there is always a glitch in these things and we should expect something. BAD NEWS! I want to be optimistic. Anyway, if the lender decides to deny us the loan, we have to find another lender. Unfortunately, our closing date is in a month. Let's hope that there will not be any glitches for us. Either way, we'll still feel the stress.
Sunday, we took a break from the madness. We started off by going to Coconut Grove for brunch. It was such a beautiful day. I bet the temperature was about 75 degrees. After breakfast, the Grove was hosting a huge Arts Festival, so we got tickets and toured the many booths. I bought six pictures of Europe for my office. It is nice having a company credit card. My office is going to look fabulous. We had lunch at a little out-door tiki type restaurant on the water. If I think about this too much, I'll have a hard time working this week.

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
