Here’s one of those email forward meme’s that I got from Trish and I decided to do it on my blog instead…

Four jobs I have had in my life:

1. Retail Cashier (Big Lots/Walmart)
2. Office Manager (CorVel)
3. Paralegal (Gilbert Heintz)
4. Receptionist (Goodwill)

Four movies I’ve watched more than once:

1. Down Periscope
2. Robin Hood: Men in Tights
3. The Prince and Me
4. Super Troopers (and it looks like there is another one coming out in 2010!!)

Four places I have lived:

1. Alexandria, VA
2. Grand Rapids, MI
3. Battle Creek, MI
4. Milford, MI

Four T.V. Shows that I watch:

2. Angel
3. Mash
4. the Muppet Show

Four places I have been:

1. Guadalajara, Mexico
2. San Juan, Costa Rica
3. Washington, DC

3. Tim S.
4. Jesse M.

Four things I am looking forward to in the coming year:

1. Owning my own house (that’s accomplished)
2. Finishing the basement so Jesse can have his man cave (he hates that term)
3. Ian learning he can play by himself in his bedroom, that he doesn’t always have to be with me.
4. Camping

And the Infamous: If you had billions of dollars, what would you do with it all?

1. Buy that huge house so I can build a library so I have a place to store all the books I will undoubtalby buy.
2. Trip around the world, and not a quick one either
3. Invest most of it so we wouldn’t have to work and Ian will be set once he grows up
4. Go back to school forever. I liked school. It was fun to learn.

I’m back and to ring me in…

It’s official. We closed on the house this afternoon. Jesse and I are now homeowners!!! We don’t actually take possession until Sunday, but it’s all ours. No more dealing with Indy Mac (the bank from hell), no more waiting, no more searching, no more nothing. All we have left to do is move our stuff into the house on Sunday and it’s done.

I’ll post some pictures next week, but we really don’t have that much to do on the house once we get it. I’m not saying we don’t have things to do, it just doesn’t seem like all that much. We’re going to change the locks (obviously), and some of the rooms don’t necessarily need to be painted (but they will be eventually), but most everything we need to do is maintenance related. The bathtub/shower hardware needs to be replaced, a couple of windows are cracked, and the back gate that gives us access to the park needs to be fixed, but other than that, everything else isn’t all too major. Jesse is going to come back and say it’s all majorly important, but we’ll still be able to go at our own pace and not one predetermined by the house.

So yeah, we are now officially $100k+ in debt and proud of it!
