The 2009 June weekend turned out to be one that is hard to beat. First of all, 6/19 marked out 10th anniversay (yes, it's been that long). My in laws made a special trip out here to celebrate Ryan's birthday. We definitely held a much larger party that I had envisioned. But it was all fun for those who were there. Then to top it off, my in law went ahead and helped us buy a lot in Saratoga - a lot that is deemed a rare find. So, all of sudden, life seems to have shifted to another gear. I have mixed feeling about settling down in an upscale area that does not quite fit our social class. But the turn of event that led up to the property almost seems impossible - first Charles had to spot the listing; then they found the time to check it out esp. when the parents could actually inspect it themselves (they had not come for over 3 yrs before this trip);lastly the seller would have to rescind his other offer to accept ours. All happened less than 48 hrs. - $1 million transacted. Just mind boggling to me.
So now there is still closing of the contract to be concerned about before we move on to the rebuilding part. To add to the saga, my architect overly ambitious brother is very much interested bidding for the job.
Today it's the first day of VBS.
I think I just need some down time right about now.
