Update

Dear everyone,
We have had an extremely stressful
and busy month and a half. Please
accept our apology if we have ignored,
been cranky to, or otherwise made you
angry--bad behavior will subside once
we know where the hell we are going to
live and once work stops threatening
to end both of our lives.

Sincerely,
Doug, Mickelle
and Cleo(who has
been treated horribly
too)

So we didn't move yet--and it will most
likely be another few weeks still.

Yes we are still in boxes, yes we are
still phone stalking our broker and
yes we are on our last nerve.

The good news is that it will be over
soon enough and after waiting for 3 months
to buy this place we have really had a chance
to dig deep and determine that YES we really
do want to buy this property. This past weekend
Doug was so sweet. He had been out of town
and we hadn't seen each other for about 3 weeks.
I was melting down and fast because I had been
dealing with all of the contractors, the lender,
the seller AND both of my own buyers without him
for too long. On Friday he told me to forward all
calls and emails to him and he would take care of
it. So my poor sweet husband took the brunt of every
thing for 12 full hours while I turned off my phone
and dove into a full 4 hours of Tivo'd bliss.

Then he took the weekend off to spend with me(for those
of you who don't know us well this usually only happens
on Christmas and MY birthday) It was much needed and
really helped me calm down and breathe a little.
I never would have guessed that buying this place would
be the most stressful thing we have ever done together,
but it turns out being helpless and just waiting has
that effect on us.
