Change of plans

Well, our realtor asked us today if we minded if the people we're buying from changed the possession date...to earlier! It's fine with us, gives us a little more breathing room for moving. Our possession date is now July 13! That's in 2 weeks! We'll probably do a little painting that first week, then move in July 21, and get our current apartment cleaned up and checked out the following week. So things are moving quickly!

Woohoo!

Well, the home inspection is done, and besides a few regular wear-and-tear things, it looks good! We removed the condition from the purchase agreement, and we move in July 27!

One step closer...

Well, we got some good news today...the people we want to buy from found a house!!!! They've removed that condition from the purchase agreement, so now all we need is the home inspection, which is happening Friday. We're almost there!

More on the house...

Well, in case any of you were wondering how the house thing is going, well...we're still waiting. The original agreement stated that the offer was accepted on the condition that the people we're buying from find suitable housing by June 23. Well, their realtor contacted our realtor, and it looks like there's a house they're interested in that's being listed on Thursday. So, we extended the deadline to July 9, but hopefully we'll know before then. We've also pushed the possession date back to closer to the end of July. Hopefully everything works out!

Stereo

The Taber library is moving to a larger building and so they had a sale last Saturday of old stuff they didn't need anymore. I went there to buy a desk (which I did) but something else snuck into the truck too. We now have a bigger stereo than either of us ever had in our college days :) I've been able to hook the FM receiver up to our antenna and we get excellent reception on it. Also, the DVD/VCR is hooked up through it so now we have really good sound for movies. In case you are a geek - it is a Technics system (tape recorder, reciever, turntable, and speakers) and the speakers are 40W each. Quite a jump from our current 8W speakers.

Nothing else new with us. Still waiting to hear if the owners of "our" house have found a house for themselves yet. We've still been watching the listings and there really hasn't been much out there - most stuff is at least 50 years old. So we don't feel we are missing out on anything by just waiting.
