inspections

This morning Jesse and I hopped in my car and drove up to the house to meet the inspector. After a clear well inspection earlier this week, we were anxious to hear from an engineer about the structural, electrical, etc condition of the house. It was raining and we could see new snow on the mountains, but it wasn't until we got WAY too far to turnaround and get the Jeep that we realized there was new snow on the ground in the foothills. Of course there was, right? Dummies. Maybe we need brain inspections in addition to a home inspection. We parked off the road around the bend from the house (because the driveway slopes in to the property and we didn't want to get stranded there just yet). It snowed very prettily for a bit during the inspection - everything went fine for the most part - and we then realized as we were walking away that there were several NEW inches of snow on the road, the car, everything. It was a slippery drive home [understatement] considering my darn-near racing slick tires. Good thing we have the summer to figure out if we want to replace my car and/or add another four-wheel-drive (where would we store my car?). I want a Jeep Wrangler. And we have the summer to arrange for a super duper snow blower. And get a puppy!

Can you tell that I'm excited about the house... it's all feeling very real! I've been looking online at bed frames made from logs - to have a couple of big cabin-like pieces in the place. And the master bedroom is monstrous so we need something big in there. The carpet in the basement will need to come up soon, but, after feeling the radiant heat on my sock-feet today, I'm not afraid of the concrete!

Ah weekend, welcome. How I've missed you. I won't gloat though because I know it's the big Walk MS weekend in San Diego - and those gals are working hard! I've been especially appreciative of my weekends this April. Miss you girls! It's not work when you're surrounded by 3,000 smiles :)
