Mid-winter "break"

This past week I have been on Mid-winter Break. Last Friday we made an offer on a house and the days in between then and now have been chock full with house related errands, paperwork and gathering of information. I am still trying to enjoy my time off and get some stuff done which I had been saving for this week, but most of that has been put off until now.

We are very very excited to move and also to stop paying rent! And just this morning as Topher was telling me to sleep in at around 6:45 am, our upstairs neighbors started in with the very important early morning furniture moving and throwing and/or dropping of very heavy objects. (I am counting down the days!) We are moving to a different neighborhood and once again we will be very close to the water. This time though, it is a beach and it will be within walking distance. There is also an off-leash dog park nearby and we are looking forward to finally getting a dog!

We feel very lucky that the process has gone very smoothly, but are still a little stressed, as much as can be expected. I have been dealing with it by sleeping a lot, watching the Olympics and knitting a lot of small easy projects. At this point we have more paperwork and a lot of waiting. Our closing date is March 15th, 2010.
