Shokufeh is... home

Banner week

Is it just one week since I informed the universe of my wishes? Tomorrow, we're going to sign a lease on a place. Let's review:
hardwood floors - check
yard - check, with bonus of a shed and driveway
washer and dryer - check, and in the house
den/study/third-bedroom - check, with bonus of second bathroom
a few stairs off the ground - check
central air and heat - check
neighbors - we have yet to meet, but the upper level of the duplex will be occupied by just one guy
price range and a neighborhood we feel comfortable in - check, and just six blocks from my parents
able to move in during winter break - check

As I typed these things a week ago, I wondered if I was being too greedy. Apparently not.
And if that good news weren't enough - this week, I also got the call that MrMan has finally moved off the waiting list and into the classroom of a daycare we've been trying to get into. That starts next month, and will reduce our already-short commute time, and allow us a bit more time together.
