My brother the stud

He's off to his girlfriend's prom (yes, he's dating a younger woman) ;)

Here's the pix - some were in front of a neighbor's house and some were in Gram's gazebo (and - there are actually a couple at the end of one of those kids cart things that you hook to your bicycle that my sister is trying to sell . . . anyone want it for $300? she paid $450 for it and it can hold up to 2 kids or 1 with a lot of stuff - holds up to 100 lbs).

Can check that off the list now

Both we and the sellers have signed the P&S and our copy is in our broker's hand. We met with the bank to give them info for the official mortgage application and they've already had the appraisal of the house.

We've told the landlords tonight (both brothers) that we're leaving the end of June . . . there has been no mention yet of what we have to pay or not pay, and what will happen with the last month's rent that the landlord's have from 3 and 1/2 years ago. I think that they took it well considering how much they liked us as tenants. The younger one mentioned how he "doesn't understand why anyone would pay rent if they could afford to own" and the older one just seemed shocked.

I got a whole butt-load of boxes from my Mom and some from friends last night - now the packing will REALLY commence.

So we're closing on Friday June 21st, which means we'll need mucho amounts of help moving stuff on that Friday night and on Saturday afternoon the 22nd. We were going to hire movers but just can't justify the $2K it would cost with all of our stuff so we'll be getting a truck and doing it on our own.

So here's your cue, oh ye massive amounts of people that we've moved shit for . . . if even 1/4 of you show up to help us and each person only moves one box we'll be in REALLY good shape :)

*boggle*, that continues to be my word
