It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like…

Christmas is just days away and the kids have been counting it down. We’ve squeezed in some fun holiday time over the last few weeks – from sledding to making rock candy, baking and decorating gingerbread houses.

Our scheduled close on the new house was August 10, 2009.  Back in early July, when we decided to purchase a house, we approached [...]
