We Bought a Condo

At 11:30 a.m. today, we became the proud owners of a condo. Finally. This particular unit is the one that we lost out on a few weeks ago. Luckily for us, the offer that the seller originally accepted fell through and our bid was apparently the next best thing. I spent this morning signing a plethora of documents at the closing - not once, but twice, because Jim was in Calgary and I had the power of attorney to endorse everything for him. After running around all afternoon arranging our condo insurance, scheduling gas & electric service, and changing the door locks (thanks to our locksmith, Richie!), we can now get down to the nitty-gritty of moving the remainder of our belongings out of our house. Condo pictures to follow soon!

Interesting anecdote: Jim left his Alberta hotel this morning - wearing shorts - to fly back to Texas. When he stepped outside it was a winter-like 32 degrees and there was snow on the ground! His plane even had to be de-iced! He is now safely back in Houston, where the high temperature this afternoon was a sweltering 97 degrees!
