24 Days and counting

The hurdles have been high and frequent but were almost there. We have one huge one ahead of us, negotiating with WaMu about the sale of our Condo, but we don't know exactly when we'll face that so in the mean time we are just waiting and enjoying the temporary relief from some stress. Megan and I are 100% over the food poisoning, and just about over a cold that we both got immediately after the food poisoning issue. So on to happier things, the condo appraiser came by, the home inspector came by, the buyers came by and so far everyone seems to be happy. We are now just playing the waiting game with WaMu.

Other good news, my boss has given me the go-ahead to pursue working contract for Zebra via the Internet! Income will be VERY helpful. I am currently working out the paperwork details but other then that it appears to be a done deal. With two three day work weeks ahead of me I am heading to an easy end at Zebra (as a full time employee anyways). Sitting in Grenada on my computer making good $ sounds like a great deal to me.

Also another major highlight, I got accepted to Texas A & M - Commerce Professional MBA program. I am extremely happy about that. I have yet to hear from Univ. of Mass. but that should be coming by the middle of next week.

It's kind of interesting decorating (lightly) for xmas while also pulling out all the empty boxes to start packing. As the date gets closer and closer I am getting more and more excited.

Oh yeah, to anyone actually reading this, we have a two bedroom Apartment with an empty (twin) bed. Anyone is welcome to come down and visit anytime and stay for free.

One more thought, for those curious I plan to have lots of photos posted of Grenada soon as we arrive.

slowly but surely...

As the clock continues to tick closer and closer to our January 12th departure date some things are finally starting to fall into place, but not without throwing other wrenches into the works. We got an offer on our condo, Whoo Hoo! We are in negotiations about the price and contract but are very close to signing. Megan also got approved on her student loans by aid of my co-signature, another major hurdle down. On the down side of things the two of us have a VERY nasty bug, we're not sure if it's food poisoning or viral but either way its awful. Neither one of us can ever remember feeling this miserable. Currently we are on day two and starting to feel slightly better but still a very long ways from us feeling "normal". Either way we wouldn't wish this bug on anyone, essentially it purges your entire body, while also getting sever stomach cramps, lots of lower back pain, and a general sense of throbbing throughout our entire bodies constantly. It sucks.

It's been a mixed bag, but over all the good news out weighs the bad.

Regardless on we go!
