Itchy has a job (AKA: I'm moving again)

Nothing has been signed and it's not quite official yet, but it looks like Itchy and I are buying a vet clinic. Obviously, Itchy will have a job there. Yay! He finally has a job.

It all happened really fast. We went out there to look at the place and Itchy fell in love. It was his ideal clinic. Everything he wanted. Well, the location isn't, but the clinic itself is. Great staff, great equipment, etc. We talked about it and did some research. Started talking to bankers. Then we made an offer. The seller accepted the offer the same day.

So we have a verbal agreement to buy this place. The papers should be signed by next week and we should close by the end of the month.

This has all taken about one month. It seems really fast. Especially with all the birthday hoopla thrown in there.

It's about 1 hour and 45 minutes from where we live right now. Which means we have to move. Again. You all know how much I hate moving*. We're probably going to look at places next week.

The town is small. Like really small. It has no Target. In fact the closest one is 45 minutes away. Oh the horrors. But it's a lake town. We'll be able to (eventually) have a house on the lake. That's something we've both always wanted. Itchy will die happy if he can fish everyday.

So that's why I haven't been around. That and because I live with a very short and demanding person. Constant attention with that one. If not, she's sticking things in outlets and counting the cat's teeth. It gets ugly.

*Moving: We've moved a lot in the last year and a half. April 2009 we moved off The Island to College Town (international moves should count as double). We half-moved to Itchy's parent's house in January 2010 (we were there for 7 weeks with a newborn, we had to pack a lot of stuff) and then back to College Town. We moved in with FIL in August 2010. We moved to our current apartment in September 2010. Now we're moving again. December 2010: Moving to Super Small Town. The really *great* part is that because we're putting everything into the clinic, we won't be able to buy a house right away. We'll have to rent. I think we all know what that means.
