We just stopped by our new place and took a video so everyone can see it. Sorry for the lame cinematography, folks. I was filming with my cellphone and we only had one take 😉

We closed on our house today! Here are our keys, as proof — keys to our very own house!
The Money is GONE!by Jim

Well, I just finished wiring the most money I’ve ever spent in my life. We signed papers for our new home last Friday and today I called up my bank and had the money wired. I was a little surprised at how quickly it was gone. I had spent years saving it up and within seconds of hanging up the phone, I hit refresh on my browser and it was gone from my account. Scary.
Last night, Angie and I watched some DIY videos on laying laminate flooring and decided we ought to try doing it ourselves. We went down to the hardward store to look at what they’ve got. It was a fairly successful trip. We’ll keep you posted as we do the renovations in our new home (and, of course, include lots of pictures).

We found out yesterday that the short-sale offer we signed back in January was approved by the bank! We’re going to sign papers this afternoon to get things rolling (inspections, appraisals, etc.). I can’t believe how much you have to sign to buy a house.
Here is a picture I took just a minute ago of the property:

The doctor just visited and gave us the go-ahead to go home. He said Angie looks great and is very encouraged by the outcome. We are now just waiting for our discharge papers.

I just got back to the hospital (I slept in a bit accidentally — I haven’t gotten a lot of sleep lately). Angie has already had her catheter removed and has done a bit of walking. The doctor has also visited and is optimistic that Angie should come home today, as early as this afternoon.

I’m here with Angie in her room (finally). She’s here lying on a bed with warm blankets and a machine massaging her legs. Pretty good service, right?
We aren’t excited about Angie spending the night, but we understand the rationale. Thank you to everyone for your prayers and fasting and your support!
