Moving On...

The house is set to close in a couple weeks, and within a month I'll be settled into my new house. While this is really exciting, it is also stressful.


My buyer had issues with the new FHA loan rules for townhouses. Basically, unless the entire development is approved by the FHA (likely with inspections of each unit), an FHA loan is not possible. Fortunately, my buyer loves my house and has arranged alternate financing. So, after a weekend when I thought I'd have to put the house back on the market, we are set to close.

With my house sale up in the air, I had to rethink my house sale. Although I like my house, I wasn't sure proceeding without my house sold was a wise idea. Since things worked out, I'm still set to buy my house (which has a hot tub!).

My job is going well. As with anything, there is always a learning curve to meeting and working with new people, learning the office particulars and adjusting to a new locale.

Once I'm settled, then the adoption issue comes to the forefront again. I've decided against Nepal, given the problems there. As a single woman, my options are limited. I'm not sure what will be a good option for me or which agency will work.

I have time to think, as at best I doubt I'll get back to the adoption issue until late this summer or early fall.
