you might have noticed a serious lack of posts.  For the longest time we have been waiting.  Waiting for the bank to make a decision.  We put in an offer on a short sale way back on December 31, 2010.   So, what is called a short sale, is in actuality, a long sale.  But, it was our first offer, and lo and behold, it went through and we find ourselves the new owners of a house.  Soon to be a home.  Once we clean it and move all of our accumulated stuff in there.  Clean it is kind of the understatement.  I wonder why my own grime doesn’t bug me as much as other people’s grime.
