our house is a very very very fine house....

shbe moved into our house on sunday!

phewwwwww

we have been unpacking like fiends and hope to be all unpacked by this weekend maybe.

the pets are all ok. kitties are needy and desperate for love and attention...and the reptiles don't seem to care.

and the work on the basement has begun...dave has been a renovating maniac.

taxes

can someone recommend a really good but not stupid expensive person/place to help out with doing income taxes....or even just answering some questions i have.

we're trying to find out if joint filing or seperate is better for us.
and i guess see if the whole house buying thing makes any difference. etc...
