Movin' on up....

...but not sure where yet. Josh and I have a realtor, we have a good faith estimate, and every reason to believe we'll get approved for a mortgage, for which we'll apply soon. We've been scouting out houses on GRAR. We're kinda excited. We're also prepared to possibly not find anything we want in our price range and make our apartment work for awhile longer. It hasn't been that momentous of a step yet, but it feels a lot better to have a couple of professionals in our court, understand the process a little better, and have a much better idea of what we can actually afford, y'know? We'll probably wind up with something relatively small and meager, but it will be OURS - we'll be able to get a dog. We'll be able to paint the walls purple if we want (because I certainly don't know anyone else with a purple wall in their house). We'll get a tax deduction...even if it isn't this kind just yet.

Speaking of that kind, congrats to my good friends Liz and Jeff. Liz was a good friend in college who helped get me through some...uhhh...interesting Russian Culture classes (we learned a LOT about this guy) and shared my profound affinity for fine cinema. Today they welcomed two new little he-Wierengas - Gibson Donald and Henry Daniel. Here are the official publicity photos:


Aren't they lovely? Laura might have to make a stop out in Clarksville before long to say hello. Additionally, Mama and Papa are about to celebrate their 4th anniversary on July 4 - that was one schweet wedding. We all got little pies as favors. Great theme, guys.

That's all for now...you'll know more as we know more!
