Another milestone met: We met at the escrow office and signed a milllion-billion loan papers, and even gave thumbprints on Friday. Transferred yet more money into the escrow account - the last of our down payment and closing costs. If all goes well, we'll close midweek. Such a nice anniversary present!

In other news, i finally started the packing today. Ugh. Hateful packing, hateful moving. This should be over in a few weeks, right? (Score: 4 bookcases empty, 27 boxes filled and labeled, meriko tired.)

I can't even begin to express how much i'm looking forward to our anniversary dinner tomorrow. Something entirely unrelated to the house or work, and in absolutely wonderful company.
