It's Getting REAL

My house in Texas is still under contract - yahoo!  Now the foundation repair people are ready to go in and fix the foundation there.  The costs for that will be taken out of my closing proceeds, so I guess it's not that big of a deal.  The closing date is unusually far out - August 31; my realtor assures me that they're doing all possible to speed it along and close sooner.  Tomorrow would be nice.

And, drum roll...I close on my construction loan Friday morning!  A few days after that, my contractor will get the first part of the money, and ground breaking can begin.

The estate sale for my Mom's house is scheduled for August 8-9, and after that we'll get it deep cleaned and on the market.

My stress level this summer has been through the roof (work has been very challenging of late too).  I can feel the tension in my jaw and in my shoulders; I have to conciously force myself to unclench at times.

But here's to my new life in Minnesota - I finally am about to realize my dream of a house in the woods...with chickens.
