The Perfect Monsoon Summer

It dropped 20 degrees the other night after a storm swept in and poured in the valley. It was a big deal!

Amy asked me to wake her up from her nap when it started to rain. I kept going outside every 5 minutes to take pictures and people outside were looking at me like I was taking pictures of them. The camera was aimed up…. not down at them!

I wish I could say we have been busy packing. Instead I’ve been changing our address & creating our moving announcements so I can mail them out soon to family & friends.

It took us TWO hours to sign all the papers at our realtor’s office on Sunday. We found out that our mortgage payments will be $200 less than we were originally told we would be paying. Let’s just say it’s pretty much the same amount we’re paying now for our apartment. We were prepared to pay our closing costs but our realtor made some calls to the bank and saved us $2,000!

We get the keys on Friday! Exactly the same day we leave for Las Vegas. The excitement can wait until we return on Sunday. Too bad we can’t just magically make everything appear at the new house without having to pack, load, unload, and unpack!

Me: What are you most excited about moving into the house?

Tyler: The fridge ice & water dispenser!
