So I got this amazing MacBook Air from my honey Gary a while back for no particular reason, he just new I hated the laptop I was using and decided to change that for me (thanks honey!). I have to say I love the MB Air for sooooo many reasons--the main reasons are speed of powering it up and the other is the fabulous slim profile and weight of it. What I have yet to conquer is how to cut and paste photos from the web. I have no problem uploading my own photos but when I try a web pic I get a little blue square with a question mark in the middle. Well that is not the image I want to share with all of you!!!
Rather than not post at all today, I am going to improvise and use random photos from my rolodex of photos to insert rather than go out to the web and get more fitting pics. So here goes....
The move is 'moving' along...
In reality the purchasing process was fairly quick however for Gary and I it has moved sloooooowa because we have truly fallen in love with our soon to be new home.
A little background...
You see, we are a blended family. I had a home and two amazing sons (oops, did I just say that?), Gary had a home and two amazing children (yup-did it again!).
We met....
Our overall plan was that I would sell my home, move in with him. We would then sell his home after a year and we would rent for a bit while we searched for our dream home. Guess what? We did all of that with ease. Up until the one year rent plan.... We rented a lovely cape that certainly met our needs (BASIC needs). Our intention was to rent for just a year and before we knew it, one year was two, then three, then four! Life took over at that point and for us that was quite ok. We have four children between the two of us so you can imagine all of the important things that happen along the way. A new home was less and less important as we nurtured our children and focused on them during a time of great transition for all of them.
Things settled down and we began looking again at the real estate market. Long story short, we will be closing tomorrow! Can you believe it? Closing on the last day of December and starting the New Year off in our forever home?!
Because we will be closing tomorrow, I will soon have so many more pics and so many more posts. We have a New Year's party tomorrow eve as well---luckily we are guests rather than hosts. We are sharing our New Year's Eve with wonderful friends who matter and will travel into the new year with us. I feel blessed.
Hope my sparse photos did not bore anyone.
