and 300K in debt. But we own a house!
I have keys! (not that it overly matters since Don's changing the front and back locks today so that they will both use the same key)
I'd take a picture of something to prove it... but I don't have anything to take a picture of.
We move in this weekend! VERY excited!
Well folks, our contract goes unconditional tomorrow at midday when I sign the loan papers!
We take ownership on 22 June! Hooray!
hey guys!
It's been ages since I've written a personal entry here. (thought I'd try a little bit of tech journalism too)
I wanted to let you know that Don and I are well on the way to purchasing a house in Gladstone.
We've got 2 inspections to get the results of, and we'll know for sure.
The house is http://www.domain.com.au/Public/PropertyDetails.aspx?adID=2007641712
It's 3 bedroom, high-set (garage under the house) 6 foot (dog-proof) fences around it. Nice place, and at a good price.
So, we're somewhere that we're able to have dogs! That means that Don and I can have the ones we've wanted!
Don wants a Belgian Shepherd, he's called a breeder, Mirribandi, who's got a bitch about to come into season.

I'm getting a maltese, and unfortunately, my breeder's not very IT-savvy (edit: she's much better than I orignally inferred, and she's a quick learner to boot), so we've not seen photos of her pups (she has some pups at 7 weeks old at the moment. the breeder's schneewichen, and if you search for schneewichen maltese, you'll find a couple of her dogs' offspring, but no examples of her actual dogs.
So! Things are going swimmingly, and the house is just around the corner from some friends of ours, so yay being near people we know!
Hi everyone,
I'm still here, not that much in the way of news for you, but we went to the bank to arrange for a loan pre-approval thing, and they've given us more money than we asked for! Yay!
So now we get to look at houses in earnest! exciting stuff!
Work's still enjoyable for the most part, one of my co-workers pisses me off because while he can sell stuff, he doesn't necessarily sell the right stuff. Or he's not aware of the relevant licensing, and refuses to be told anything. He tried to tell a customer that they could use MS Office Home and Student in their business activities the other day. Wrong, hefty copyright fines lie that way.
I saw this in a forum that I post in, and I found it really touching, somehow. Maybe because I have friends who straighten up the house when their parents are likely to come calling. I might send it to a couple of them.

Straightening Up The House
Sometimes getting the house ready for Mom & Dad's visit requires
more than a dust rag and some Pledge...)
Today I took the nudes down off the wall
Ten minutes after I received her telephone call
She'll be here Friday morning so there's not much time to clean
Better hide the Advocate and Mandate magazine
We'll redecorate the guest room so it looks like it's been used
Separate our wardrobes or she'll really be confused
Then get ready for a lonely week of sleeping on the couch
We're straightening up the house
Tomorrow I will put away your gay pride shirts
And our Halloween assortment of jewelry, pumps and skirts
Then pack up all the books by Quentin Crisp and Rita Mae
And the "His & His" towels that you bought me yesterday
And you'd better hide the albums by that lesbian group
She has no ear for music, but she has been known to snoop
And remember not to kiss me, just forget that you're my spouse
Straightening up the house
The snapshots of the two of us in Spain will have to go
Don't tell me this is totally insane, because I know
And I cannot wear the wristwatch with our names engraved in gold
The one that says "I love you, John, with all my heart and soul"
This is our first Christmas here in our new home
In a hostile world, it's our only safety zone
I never should have promised I'd continue with this lie
But Dad was so certain if she found out she would die
But if it's killing anyone I think it's killing me
'Cause it tears me up inside to hide my true identity
And asking you to help me makes me feel like such a louse
I'm thirty-two years old, why am I acting like a mouse?
I'm a man and he's my lover
If she freaks out she'll recover
C'mon and help me to just CLEAN the house
Well, Here are the photos that I've taken from the house I'm living in in town.
That's Newstead, and probably West Launceston that you can see.
