Just for Emily

No.  we're not homeowners yet.  (heh heh heh you said 'homo' heh...)  (Wendy thought that previous Beavis joke was really immature heh.)

We're still waiting on the written approval from Bank of America.  Last week, the seller's agent called BoA about it.  The negotiator for our files actually called her back (this is a big thing for BoA) and said the written approval is being prepared.  The seller's agent is confident enough that she changed the status of the property listing from Active to Contingent.

Right now we pretty much have all the funds we need to close, and the paperwork to back it up. 

Now the bad news...

My to-do list is growing.  Funny how something simple like, "let's paint the TARDIS before we move in," can grow and grow.  Now the entire living room, part of the dining room, the three bedrooms, and two bathrooms are on the paint list. 

Of course, part of the problem is me.  I'd rather get all the painting done before we move our stuff in.  It also doesn't help that we have had over 4 months to stew about this, coming up with everything we want to do to our house once we own it.

In other news, Wendy has learned how to make my mom's beef stew (you guys had it on Kauai).  We're going to make it the family recipe, along with the lasagna.  We'll probably make some the next time we're in Indiana.
