So, as you may have deduced, I'm in THE HOUSE! Yay! So that's the good news. The bad news is that we don't own it yet. How is this possible, you ask? Well, to make a long, roller-coaster of a story short, the seller (who we met along with her whole family, & we really like) thought the house was going to sell for much more than it appraised for, so in the end didn't have enough $ to make it work. So, it will go to a short sale (the most deceiving term ever created - it means that the money is short, NOT the time it will take to sell). While it's going through this process, we are essentially renting it from the owner, hoping/feeling pretty good that the short sale will be approved. We think this will be good, since we needed a place to live anyway (not that Annie & Quinn weren't AMAZING hosts) and the pros definitely outweighed the cons. And the best part is we get to start settling in now, instead of in 60-90 days!

We're also psyched about the return of this li'l gentleman:
You want gratuitous Moose pictures? Well alright:
You're welcome.
Again, we'll keep you updated, but for now we're just hoping that the short sale gets approved and goes through sooner rather than later; but at least we'll be here!! Oh, & here's the mailing addy:
PO Box 532
Oakland, FL 34760
(Our cute small town doesn't have mail delivery, so we pick it up from the post office which is about a block away.)
Miss you all!
Wooo, house!
