Still Waiting

Its been almost 2 weeks since the last update there have been a few changes and interesting events. I'll start with the house updates.

Most of you knew we were to have the home inspection on done Saturday August 29th. The inspection went quite well. There are a couple things around the house that need repaired or updating but over all it passed! Daniel and I waved the conditions for the inspection but have yet to wave the financial conditions. We met with the bank this past week and hit a little snag. We were told that we would need to have an appraisal done in order to get the financing. Our realtor set up the appraisal for last friday (Sept. 4th) and we havnt heard back yet. Should know by Wednesday though. We were hoping to take possession by the 16th but because the bank needed the house appraised we had to ask for an extension to wave the finances. So the date was pushed an extra week. We are a little nervous now but are praying that it all works out.

Oh, and our dog Kensie decided to escape yesterday morning right when Daniel was heading to bed (8am) after working a 12 hour midnight shift. (6:15pm-6:30am) I peeked outside to make sure she was doing alright and saw the line she was attached to but no dog on the end. Its a good thing she hates cats and there are a bunch in the area. They distracted her from running too far and we found her only a few blocks away thanks to a man out walking. We also found 3 neighborhood cats up in the trees. I dont blame her for escaping though. Her collar was still on, she didnt chew through anything or break anything, the line just came unhooked somehow. We still havnt figured it out.

On a positive note, Daniel recently had a week off work and we were able to spend lots of time with each other, with our friends Gabe and Rachael, their two girls and our new pup. We also got to explore Horseshoe Canyon just outside of Drumheller. It is unlike anything I've ever seen.

Thats it in a nut shell.
Hopefully we will have an update later this week!
