something i wasn't sure i'd do

Lord, it's been some time. My favorite saying of late is, "Life is crazy," because it is. And big things have been afoot. I just bought my first place. It feels good, but it was a bit of an ordeal getting there. The lending world is a bit turned on it's head and even though nothing that tripped things up had anything to do with me, those underwriting people are picky about clauses and words. Silly really. All those words have nothing to do with predicting whether or not I will pay my mortgage and you'd think that'd be the thing they worried about most, but I look good in that department. I've worked very hard for the last two years and it paid off. I reached my goal. And now it's time for painting and organizing and party planning. I hope you are well and happy too.
