Just Stroll-ing Along . . .

Bad news first - looks like we won't be able to close on the house on the 19th. Apparently Brian's ex-wife doesn't have the discharge papers from their bankruptcy (8 years ago) and they are in archives ... which means it'll take $45 and 10 days to get them (their archives are in CHICAGO in a warehouse - how dumb is that!). Our super mortgage gal, Tiffany, over at Savage Mortgage, (we highly recommend them!) has been on the case and she was able to get the docket from the day it was discharged ... HOPEFULLY that will be enough for the lender ... we're supposed to find out sometime this morning. If it's not good enough, then we'll have to pay the $45 and wait 10 more days to close on the house. POOP.
Um I guess this is good news! KD's starting school on January 10th and moving to Grand Rapids! It's good news for her, but not really good news for me ... cos that means I won't see her very often. But we're very happy that she's getting to do what she wants!
Oh and more good news ... Mom's surgery won't be as bad as we originally thought! It will still be painful and will take a while for her to recouperate, but it won't be nearly as bad.
Okay I have a ton of work to do people ... I don't have all day to post on this silly blog!
