Moving Right Along

I hope you had a Happy Easter!  We had a full one, as usual.  Bruce and I were up late the night before, preparing our contributions to his family's brunch.  The next morning we woke up, got ready, and then the house was descended upon by all his relations.  Later that afternoon we went to my folks' house.  I was still mad at my mom, but I decided beforehand to forgive her (without her asking) and try to learn from the situation.  We had a nice time; they always love to see Emmie.  Emmie got tons of presents from the Easter Bunny.  He was a busy rabbit this year!

Too many gifts to put in one basket. 
What a generous bunny!

If I've had the chance to be on the computer recently I've been devoting my time to my online class.  Teaching four classes at once is the most I've ever done, and it's particularly challenging because two of my classes are new to me, and I'm hanging out with a little toddler all day.  Thus the infrequency of blog posts.

I do have an exciting bit of news to share.  One is that the appraisal came back right on the money - meaning that the house is worth a little bit more than we are paying for it, because we added closing costs into the final price.  Phew! That was a major step that could've been rocky, but wasn't.

We are still waiting for our financing to get finalized, though.  Our lawyer just filed for an extension, which she assured us was pretty common.  I think it's taking a longer time because our broker is trying to get us that IHDA grant.  Our closing date is set for April 19th and we've been told that it shouldn't be a problem.  It's getting 'closer' all the time, haha!

Bruce started packing last night.  Last year the sight of boxes was disheartening.  Now I'm thrilled!  Every day my level of excitement grows.  Come on, April!  We've decided not to move until the beginning of May, when three of my classes will end.  That way I can devote myself to moving and unpacking.  Can it really only be a month away?!  Pinch me!
