WHEW.
WHEW.
It's been a busy week. The biggest news is, we bought a place to live! Yes, we returned from Germany on August 2, found a condominium we liked on August 4, and bought it on August 31. That is fast!
The closing went fine, and happened right on schedule. Everyone knows you have to sign hundreds of papers when you buy a house, right? Imagine how many you have to sign when your husband can't make it to the closing and you have power of attorney to sign for him as well!
These last few days have been such a blur, it's been hard to keep track of the days of the week. We have some painting projects to do in the condo, so I got started on that yesterday. I removed the wallpaper border in the living room and then started sanding down the walls. The previous owners used a painting technique (ragging) that left a lot of texture on the walls, so if we want to paint over them, we have to smooth them out first. And believe me, we want to paint over them.
I will post before and after pictures later. I think I'm going to start painting the guest room/study today. Marty is in Cincinnati on a business trip, so I guess I'll get to pick the color!
More updates to follow!
