Last post as a renter
Wow, buying a house is a lot of work! The scrambling to get mortgages, homeowner's insurance, money for closing costs... it's all very tiring, confusing, and stressful. Then, to celebrate, you get to move. We've been moving for a week now, and we're beat. So, so beat. We moved two U-Haul vanfulls (that's not a real word) last Sunday, and we've been taking stuff in our cars all through the week. We took five carloads over yesterday, and I took another this morning. I'm waiting for the movers to arrive who will take the last of our heavy stuff. You would think we had a six-bedroom house with the amount of stuff we have!

I tell you what... I'm in love with having a garage. Not sure where something will go? Chuck it in the garage! Bags of clothes waiting to go to resale/Salvation Army? The garage is a good place to put them! Extra furniture waiting for a yard sale? Garage! Garage! Garage!

OK. I'm signing off from lovely East Dallas. Catch you guys in the O.C. (that's Oak Cliff, yo).
