its ours
Well, its ours! I just had a phone call from our solicitor, and settlement has gone through as of now, which means we are now owners of a townhouse... Wow!
Thats a little scary, but kinda cool at the same time.. can't quite believe it!
We've been busy packing and cleaning inbetween dealing with pup behaviours from Skol.. ie, getting hardly any sleep from him crying at night... chewing on things when he figures out how to get past the barrier we have up from kitchen to living room and then discovering how wonderful it is to chew on playstation controls and usb mice and shoes! He has been keeping us fairly entertained... Last night was the first night where he almost, ALMOST, didn't cry.. there was a little whimper around 4am...
We're going to miss the house, its got a great little vibe, and is perfect for summer... but we will be glad to get away from the flood prone area, and not have to worry everytime it rains. Last night it stormed here, and we had just shifted all our furniture and boxes downstairs ready for a quick move on Saturday.. so there was a mild case of worry when it started to pour down rain.
We will also enjoy living in a place that is not an icebox in winter...
It will also be great having a proper setup for Skol. We're planning to install a dog door in our garage, so he can come in and out as he pleases, as opposed as him having to wake us up to go outside at night... will be fantastic.
I'm also taking Skol to Puppy School on Sunday... which will be fun. I want to start training him as soon as possible, because we have a feeling he may be as strong as his father... which will mean we need to make sure he knows we're boss. I went for a bit of a run with him yesterday too, and he loved it.. can't wait til he is old enough to come on my full morning runs, that will be great motivation. He needs the exercise too, to keep him lean.
I will dearly miss the area though.. is so great being so close to the city and having all the parks around us and organic markets and community farm and lovely vet and the best fish and chip shop i've ever been to!
We've vowed to go back there even though its now a bit of a hike from us..
We're heading out to pick up keys this afternoon, and move a bit of stuff tonight, then we'll move a bit more tomorrow.. and Saturday is the big day..
Whew... can't quite believe it.. i said that already didn't i? hahaha
