From the end.. spring new beginnings

[Bridgestone]

Thanks Bobbijo & GF.
I am so pleased with how this whole thing has worked out!

I walked by this house almost daily for 6 months (it's just 2 houses down from where I'm currently renting) thinking this is EXACTLY the kind of house I want to buy.

And lo & behold, just when my rental lease is up & I needed to find someplace to live ...it comes on the market!! and the lady was happy to keep it as a private sale in order to keep me in the neighborhood. Guess it paid off to take holiday goodies around the neighborhood this winter! LOL

The wonderful thing about this deal is that the owner is working on a deal with me to let me purchase any of the furniture she has! Which includes some 'nice' stuff.. leather living room set, almost new washer/dryer, frig, etc. bedroom sets, etc.

This a big deal for me because I took a cash settlement for the household goods in the D instead of the 'stuff' as it was difficult & not cost effective to move it 600 miles.


I have been furniture shopping this week to fill in the 'gaps'. I"m so excited.. I didn't have to check with anyone else to see if they "liked" it too! It was what "I" wanted and what "I" liked. No eye rolling, no dragging of feet, no huffing that I was taking too long to decide... so nice!

For GAL this week:
I am headed out in a bit for a women's meetup group this afternoon (hot yoga) and then a movie tonight. On Monday, my wine meetup group (yes I started my own!) is meeting for the 2nd time, Tuesday is the dog shelter volunteer night and then Thursday I'm headed back to see my daughters Spring Play next week-end. Whew!


OK.. I should get up & finish my coffee & get going instead of just talking about it!
