What have we done? 1

Posted by Tim Wed, 29 Aug 2007 12:39:26 GMT

Kate and I signed papers on a new house yesterday morning. Except that it isn't new, it was built in 1928. And we aren't moving, at least not yet. The house went into foreclosure a while back, and we were fortunate enough to stumble upon it. With the help of a great listing agent and a great bank that paired us up with another great bank, we were able to close the deal on the 28th. Now the real work begins!

I hand delivered the "Change of Address" card to my parents last night. My dad was excited about the idea, and my mom... well, if you know my mom, you can imagine the angst and worry in her voice when she said "you did what?!" Sorry mom, it'll turn out OK.

So what is this blog all about? I thought it would be cool to keep track of our progress, and this was the best way that I could think of. What can you, dear reader, expect from this blog? At least one update per week. If I have nothing to update within a week, then you can assume that we're falling behind schedule. We will post new pictures alongside most updates. Let's get started with that right away.

It's going to be a crazy adventure, so wish us luck!

    You are going to make Tango jealous. There are no pictures of her on the link for flickr - but many of Mingus. Maybe that is why she is acting out...
