We FINALLY closed on the house this morning!! I had to go to the bank early to get a cashier's check. I was headed there while Allen was taking Cael to school. We were backing out of the driveway when Allen got a phone call from my principal (my phone is stupid and I can't receive/send texts/calls. I'm getting a new one tomorrow) who said we were having a late start due to the ice that was coating the roads. It was raining, but it was still 32 degrees. Not a good combo. So, the boys stayed home while I slid to the bank and back. I got home, and we loaded up to go to the title company. The neighbor lady was walking/sliding down the street as we were leaving, and we had just said we should offer her a ride, when BAM! Down she went. She hit her head and shoulder and was pretty shaken up. Allen was trying to get her out of the freezing water that she landed in, when our other neighbors pulled up and gave us a hand. We called the ambulance and we stayed with her until it came. Those poor paramedics were sliding around everywhere as they were trying to load her up. It was quite a situation.
So now the house is ours and we can continue our improvements. Phew. We're in the middle of a winter storm pattern right now. We're hoping that the snow will start as it's supposed to around midnight (and continue until 4pm). The forecast is 4-8inches. We're hoping for a snow day tomorrow so the whole house can stay home together. Our school is going with 2 area Lutheran schools (7th and 8th grades) on a ski trip on Thursday. Allen is jealous.:)
Things are going ok for the most part. We got past the sewer drain backing up in the basement, the dishwasher not working, the VA changing the rules on us every couple of weeks, and several other mishaps, but God is good, and we will continue on.
