Fridge Advice?
The house we are renting doesn’t have a fridge, and we have never had to have our own before. We need to get one now, so do you have any suggestions? Any we should steer clear of? Know of any great deals? I like the idea of having the freezer on the bottom since we don’t access it as often. Although then it’s easy access to the ice cream for the kids. Hmmm. I’m thinking of checking out Craig’s list first to see what’s there.
We’re moving in a Week, and got a House Today!
Over the last several weeks we have been looking for a new house in Orange County. We had two different offers in on rentals, and long story short, neither one worked out. We have been working with a great agent and she set up some places to see again this week. On Tuesday, I farmed out the kids and brought Sabrina with me to check them out. Rob and I saw one that we really liked and put in an offer, again. We just got word that the place is ours! We are so excited and relieved. It will be a short commute for Rob and it’s right around the corner from the elementary school and two nice parks. We had already set the movers to come next Friday, so now we know where to tell them to take our stuff! The outside isn’t all that impressive, but inside there is lots of space and the yard is a good size for what is available in the area. I don’t have any official poll, but I thought it would be fun to hear your guesses on the year this house was built. It has a definite style and I’m wondering how close you can guess just by looking…
Some bad news and some good news
These last two weeks have been rough. As you may know, I am now a computer addict along with my husband. And our whole world has been turned upside down because our laptop crashed. Luckily we had a backup hard drive, and after many attempts, Rob was able to save most everything we need onto it. But in the mean time we are using this ancient computer that can’t even handle any word programs. This is why I have been a bit anti-social on the blog scene. If all I get for Christmas is the laptop up and running again, I’ll be happy.
In other news, we have found a new house in “OC.” We are really excited about it because it is right across the street from a great park, a ten minute drive to work, and walking distance to school. Nothing has been signed, but the owner seems to be set on letting us move in around New Years. Rob has been making the two hour commute and working long hours, so both of us are exhausted, and most of our conversations have been over the phone. Even today, Saturday, he had to put in a full days work. Ugh! I’m hoping that this is an end of the year crunch and that it won’t always be this demanding. I also have a really funny story about our crazy van and the alarm. I’m too tired to write it all out now, and still not really ready to laugh about it, but if I forget to post about it remind me later!
