House Update

I haven't posted in a while because the house situation was in a bit of flux for a little while because of the amount and type of repairs that were necessary. However, we've gotten everything resolved, and all the big repairs that really concerned us are going to be done before closing so that we can go ahead and get the little stuff done and move in sooner rather than later. That said, we're thinking about getting a pretty good bit of work done before we even move in, so it may be a month or so after closing before we start moving our stuff in.

Aside from that, the big news is that this week, Mom and Dad are coming to town. I'm going to be working some LONG hours early in the week so I can at least get full-time hours in before they get here, even if I can't get all 40. Hopefully I'll be able to get my rear in gear and actually get into the office early on those days. Either way, we're really looking forward to next weekend!

Work is going fine for both Lauren and I, though the job search continues to be a dry well for me. Hopefully someone will decide they're hiring new associates soon and I'll fit the bill. Problem is that the newest crop of law school grads just got their bar results, which means I have even more people to compete with for jobs. So, I'm starting to think I'm going to pick up some little work here and there just to get some experience, and maybe that will look good on a resume.

I will try to remember to take pictures of this weekend's activities and post them, but I'm horrible about remembering to use my camera, and Mom hates to be in photos, so we'll see how that goes.
