The Money Pit

So, we're sitting around last night in Rob's parents place watching the Yankees crumble after building an 8-0 lead only to hold on for a 10-7 win. Shortly after the game, my phone rings. It's the realtor, Charles.

"Congratulations Ken!!"

"For what??" (As if I didn't know why he was calling at 9:30pm)

"Your offer was accepted!!!"

"Get out of here!!!"

"Yep, it was accepted without any changes."

I won't bore you guys with the details of the rest of the conversation. But that's right everyone, Lisa and I are one step closer to home ownership. Charles has assured us that the transaction will go smoothly since he knows the other realtor very well. And so begins our chapter of the money pit. Sanding floors, painting walls, remodeling kitchens, etc, etc, etc. Closing is on or around Nov. 16, just in time for Lent and Sara to visit and see this place before the transformation. This place is going to look so awesome after we get done. Home ownership is so liberating. As Rachel said to Lisa last night..."Wow, you guys can do whatever you want".

So let me get this straight, we got married, moved long distance to Portland and had an offer accepted to buy a house all within a three week span. Like Kristen said, all I need to do is get Lisa pregnant and we can get all of the big steps out of the way in a month!!!!!

UMMMMMM.....no. That will be a couple of years from now.

We'll post pictures once we can figure out how to do that. Brian, you use blogger, any suggestions???
