Rhode Island

So it begins. My weekend consisted of helping to load up the remainder of the items at the new soon-to-be-ours house, going to church, cleaning my live-in house, and tearing up carpet and washing walls at the new soon-to-be-ours house. We did, however, find that the hardwood floors are just as gorgeous in the living room as in the closet where we first discovered them. Or at least the part that we saw. We are leaving the padding down as an extra drop-cloth for now, but we pulled parts of it aside to admire its beauty. Aside from saving on carpeting, Heath and (business) partner ran into some help at a home improvement store when glancing at water softeners and was given some valuable advice. Thank you helpful person.

And it gets even better. We received in the mail a coupon from our favorite home improvement center that said if we present said coupon with our store card we have no interest no payments until 2008. Silly store. Our shopping list grows (appliances, flooring, tile, paint)and we perfect our imitation of good old Mr. Burns... "Excellent"

Sweet Providence.

Rhode Island?

I hope the closing is going well! Hooray for family lawyers, eh?

Providence, Rhode Island. A little vague for those of you lacking in mind-reading skills, I admit, but it made sense to me.
And yes, Hooray for family lawyers! Thank you for sparing your husband (hooray for you two!) for the night! It went well.

Ah, it all makes sense now.

I'm glad he could help. :)
