It’s getting nearer…
First of all, I just wanted to say that I’m probably going to run out of witty titles for posts. Ha! I hope my creative juices don’t stop flowing.
So, it’s been awhile since I posted last, I think. We went down to Atlanta last weekend to see about a house. I had been talking to a would-be landlord about a house in the Woodstock area. BTW — I scrutinized for a long time trying to find a home for our family. We ran into a lot of obstacles… the size of our family, the schools, proximity to Cam’s job, etc. After researching Woodstock (and Cherokee County) I decided this was where we needed to be. But that was only part of the solution. After MUCH communication (and luckily being first in line in application) with the would-be landlord, we were able to see the house last Sunday. Perfect size really. The bedrooms very large, the kitchen wasn’t as big as mine (but then again, what kitchen IS as big as mine LOL) but definitely do able (and comes with an island!), cat doors, a screened-in porch, little landscaping for Cam to deal with, 2 car garage! Schools definitely as good as I’ve ever seen. Finding a home was the hardest thing… after going through apartment after apartment. Nothing felt right. This house feels right.
We also saw a creepy house that we all thought was haunted. Cam was creeped out… the guy that doesn’t believe in ghosts. He said if there were ghosts, definitely there are some in this house! Well it was a strange house. Main floor had vents for A/C… but the upstairs had window unit air conditioners. Walls were dirty, the house just wasn’t kept up at all. So a big no on that one. It made our decision with the first house even more definitive.
So, now we wait for the relocation company to get a hold of us. Cam’s been working at Sapient for nearly a month — I’m just somewhat suprised they haven’t talked to us yet. Well, up until this point we didn’t have a place we were moving to… but now that we do… we definitely want to press forward quickly and have all our ducks in a row.
Cam comes home for the first time since he left in July tomorrow. I can’t wait. Though I did see him last weekend, his family will be glad to see him. He’s excited because he’s lost so much weight in that month. Atlanta has been VERY good to him.
