70mm Crimean Era British Infantry Officer...the bad news is that I now know what it's like to have four year old children on Christmas day...
...the good news is that I learned this vital lesson at ten am this morning, when Mrs. Kinch opened a letter from our mortgage people and discovered that we have finally gotten approval.
She celebrated this great occasion by running into the bedroom and jumping on my head. I think I took it rather well despite having finished work at 6 am.
So, it looks like this whole house business is actually going to happen. I'm as surprised as anyone.
I spent the rest of the day making phonecalls, watching old movies* and doing some work on Mrs. Kinch's great uncles gift (see above).

Congratulations! A long struggle won. Jumping on the bed sounds like a perfectly reasonable reaction to me.

Yippee! I hope that all goes well from now on and that you and Mrs. Kinch will find yourselves in your new home before much longer.

Huzzah!
ReplyDeleteJust in time for Christmas!
(Being jumped on is one of the staples of having a young child in the house - just take care of your family jewels during the assault)
Very pleased to hear that the mortgage was approved! What a nice way to lead into Christmas.
