8/12 Update

These days I am on squirrel lookout from the second floor. I've heard I might have my own backyard to watch over by the end of the month. But until then I have to watch from this window.

8/2 Update

We spent all weekend in Lake Orion. We were puppy sitting at Jason and Stacie's house. Did not fit very well in Stacie's bed with Barkley and Bentley, I ended up in Tony's (empty) bed eventually. We spent most of Saturday at Allison's parents house. Her sister Kelsey and her boyfriend Drew were in town visiting, and the grandparents were over too. Probably the big news over the weekend was on the house hunting front.

On Friday we looked at a few more houses and ended up really liking a colonial. It turns out it is a little bit bigger and a little bit cheaper and we think it'll work out better. Today on Sunday we heard back that our verbal counteroffer was acceptable. There is paperwork to sign and a loan to apply for. I'm slightly worried about the loan due to my non-traditional employment status, but my mortgage broker says he will be able to work it out.

This house is in Madison Heights by 13 Mile and Campbell. I was really going to post a link to the listing site, but the pictures honestly don't do it justice, so you will have to come see it!
