No time and I'm behind.

I've been wanting to post for awhile but find that I can't find the time. I've wanted to call back my sister since I told her I'd call her back "later" but I haven't been able to find the time. I've wanted to call back my friend Melodie since I told her also I'd call her back "later" but I haven't found the time. I also wanted to take a picture of my family in front of our house for my blog but didn't have the time for that either. Where is this time that I need? Where are you hiding? I have time now, the kids have been fast asleep for hours. I just finished my transcription work for the evening, but it's too late to call Krista and Mel.

My big news that I've been wanting to share in a dramatic way (hence taking the picture) is that we closed on our house on Friday. We officially own the house we are living in. Yippee. In my formal house acceptance speech I'd like to thank Chris C. for helping get my Chris an interview at Fios. Chelle for telling me about the house. Brig for being an amazing landlord. Paula for being my advocate when she saw how high the grass and weeds were in the empty lot next to us. Ryan for being very patient with all the financing items our lender wanted us to change, and Nick and Ho for being willing to let us do a lease to own option. When Chris and I sold our last home, we didn't have any idea how long it would take us to own our own home again. It happened sooner than we thought. But it wouldn't have if it hadn't of been for the people I have mentioned. We have been very blessed the past few years.

So that's my news. No picture but there it is.
