On the house: wrapping up. Received our big-honkin' check. Ho-LY cow. Jim took a picture, and then we mailed it to the bank. Canceled our home insurance, and sat around deciding where to donate our tithe for the house sale. Jim had a great time--he felt like Warren Buffett. I, on the other hand, hate the process of deciding where to send money, because there are so many needs and even a tithe for a house doesn't go as far as I'd like.
On the homestudy: wrapping up. Pam is now writing us up, and the last two of our checkboxes have been filled. The last reference is in, and I mailed our doctor reports (we are now certified as reasonably fit and drug-free) this morning. Once Pam finishes the writing, she'll send us her report and we'll mail that in with the I-600A to the government to get a fingerprinting appointment. We also have our notarized doctor's reports for our dossier, which is quietly growing on the dining room table.
From the house: chilling out. We're celebrating the completion of house and homestudy with a weekend on the beach in Maine. Wish I was there now, instead of looking forward to fighting Red Sox traffic (it's a doubleheader today, with the Yankees!) on my way home.

Is this THE weekend that the beach in Maine is open? Now Texas beaches are open year round...
Technically the beaches are open year round here, too. However, in January, you'll likely find the Maine beaches cold, wet, and boring. Except for the annual January "lobster dip" where hundreds of insane people go running into the 32.0001 degree ocean, there's not a lot of beach action going on between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Between Labor Day and Memorial Day, that is.
