Thankful Th... um, ok, Friday

Today I am thankful for...

  • OUR HOUSE! Well, ok, the bank's house, but it's ours as long as we keep paying them. It closed today, and I have keys in my pocket.
  • A fantastic real estate agent, Dave Reith, and mortgage broker, Kathryn Seymour of Evergreen Loans.
  • My former coworkers at Disney. The timing of my contract's ending, which kept me employed exactly long enough for the house to close.
  • A lender who understands about how contracting works, and who let the loan go through anyway.
  • Overestimating the closing costs by $15K.
  • Colleen, Naomi, and our kids.
  • Feeling at home.

(Irrelevant & gratuitous comment to follow...) Whenever I hear the word "closing," it reminds me of the tape on Denver's 16th street mall shuttle, trying to say, "The doors are closing," except the voice they used has just enough of a lisp to make it sound like, "The doors are clothing," which has given me some very strange ideas for halloween costumes that I haven't acted upon. The images get even crazier when I think of Jim Morrison.

Pretty good. It'll feel even better when the place is actually habitable by Colleen; we still need to get a few things done first. Then will come moving...

There would be one corner of the house that was completely put-together. A couch, uncluttered, with no boxes immediately about. It was the "corner of serenity" and served as a retreat from the chaos and a promise of getting settled.

(Both our moves together, if you recall, were pretty stressful.)
