Smurfin a bigger mushroom.

So the big decisions we've been working on is whether or not to buy another house. And after some serious soul searching and number crunching, we've decided to go for it. www.edigitaltour.com/0506/20467/ It's going to make finances pretty tight for a while, but hopefully, in the long run it will be the right decision. At the least, there should be some extra room for that extra mouth we're expecting by the end of the year. The little tot will have a larger roof over his/her head, but we may have to count on him/her having no modesty and going naked and hungry for the first five years of his/her life.

This decision has set in motion a flurry of additional choices that we are slowly working our way through. Yesterday we had several appointments. We met with a real estate agent from noon to two to discuss the procedures for putting our place on the market. There's a lot to it. From two to five we were at the new place as an inspector examined every nook and cranny of the house. As with every house there are some things that could use some work, but overall he was impressed with the condition of the place. We're expecting his formal report in the next day or two. At seven last night we met with our loan officer to hand off paperwork and discuss our loan options. From eight to nine we started packing a few boxes, stuff that needs to be done before the broker inspection at our place next Monday. From nine to twelve we filled out the disclosure packages that needed to be handed in to our agents the next morning. These disclosure packets are really detailed in California. There are disclorues on everything from Megan's law to broken appliances to earthquake potential. It was quite a full day, and probably for the next two weeks, it will be pretty full days.
