i can almost taste the homeownership - a little like mint, maybe?

So we found a home. It's a nice, modest little 1/2 duplex - fairly new, in excellent condition and with all the nice extras. And we feel like we got a deal to boot. Possession is in 9 days and all that's left to do is sit down with the lawyer and sign our lives away (but with big grins on our faces).

just for fun

So, we've arrived and are settled in to our temporary home (aka Kendon and Nancy's basement - thank you, thank you, thank you!), but we will, of course, be moving again as soon as we can sort out a house. There is a favourite on the market and the financial end seems to be coming together seemlessly. Yay!
