all the waiting

this is the interior courtyard picture from the realtor. the garage is below this and faces the street.
basically the reason i've been quiet, besides not having anything interesting to say, is because of all the business going down over the purchase of our (town)house. on friday, after accepting the sellers' counter-offer just before christmas, they accepted our remedy requests, which were pretty limited considering the number of piddly things found on inspection. now we're just waiting for the bank's appraisal and funding and closing is set for february 26. less than 7 weeks from now. i guess we'd better start packing everything we don't use daily. yay! our own washer and dryer, our own garage, dishwasher, deck, 2 bedrooms and 1 1/2 bath! it's like i'm/we're grown-up!
