Waiting for closing to close!

This week we have been busy with house stuff. The inspection went great, and the appraiser was there at the same time. The inspector did not find anything big that needed to be fixed, besides cleaning the gutters (which I don't think anybody has done in the last 5 years or so...). We also went to State Farm and switched the renters insurance we had, over to home insurance, which will kick in on the 30th. Our mortgage paperwork is being processed, so we are just waiting for them! Once we hear from them we'll paint some before moving in, since as of now we're still stuck with our apt.
Yesterday I went over to have the water tested. The arsenic levels are right on the maximum line, so we will have to have a filter put on the water (waiting for my uncle well driller to get back to me!), which is a bit expensive but not *too* horrible.
*after all these tests it makes me wonder what kind of water we've all been drinking our whole lives without ever having it tested...
We've also been busy buying some small stuff we will need (window treatments, etc), and adding things to our "to register for" list for the wedding. I've also began a big To Do list. The top of that list includes painting some rooms, cleaning the gutters, and killing the ivy that's growing on the side of the house.
Classes resume Monday (baker is way later than everyone else, thanks to their term system). I'll have classes Monday/Wednesday, and be working for admissions in the mornings before class. i'll also be working at bauman's running & walking, AND yesterday Edible Arrangements called and hired me (yay!) for extra holiday help (which for them is sweetest day thru xmas), which will be nice b/c i was told baumans will slow down, and i will have a month off at xmas.
So i should be happily busy for the next few months. I'll blog with updates as we know!

Yeah we got all the inspection and appraisal work done last week - it's insane how much there is to do. We found out we have to tent for and repair damage from termites - doh! In the grand scheme of things though, not bad.

What's this water test? I dread seeing what kind of water I'm drinking here...
