on our way...

So the house is in the option period and inspections are on going. All of the paperwork was signed Sunday and closing has been set for November. Today we had electrical, mechanical and structural inspections. Most things look good with some normal wear and tear one would expect. Tomorrow the plumbing will be checked and then we just talk to the homeowners on how to proceed to closing.

I was busy during the inspection chasing the Champ and picking out paint colors. Currently I am leaning toward a warm neutral that will bounce the light around from the great windows. Most of the living area in the home will likely be repainted. I just need some help from my artist sister-in-law with the color selections then we should be finished with that.

If all goes to plan, we will close on the house prior to Thanksgiving. Attack the painting the week of Thanksgiving then move in December. That way my Christmas decorations can just stay out and get hung up when we move in. I am really looking forward to Christmas in my new home.

The boys are doing well. Champ stayed home today with a mystery fever from yesterday, but he is showing no other signs of illness and the fever has not returned, all good news. Rome is sleeping well with going at least 3 hours between feedings at night.

We are still keeping our fingers crossed with the house, but it looks very promising.
