Closing

So, Rochelle and I were finally able to close on our condo. The funds transfer Monday, so thank goodness that it is over. I suspect that I will be spending the next couple of weeks doing things that we didn't want to do until we owned it, like putting nails in the walls, and getting the utilities in our name. We are going to be getting cable as soon as possible, but from the sounds of it, comcast is procrastinating, and hasn't even been to our complex yet to install the cables. So hopefully we can have internet in the next couple of days, but that is pending on comcast. So, for now, we are still just using my office and mom and dad's house for internet.

Rochelle is with her family this week. They are throwing a shower for her at home. But mostly, she is just excited to see family and friends. I imagine she will blog of her experiences at some point or another.

Work has been very busy for me the last couple of weeks. We are going through PCI compliance auditing this week, and have spent the last several months preparing for it, in addition to all the normal work we already do. It has been fun to learn many of the things required to be PCI compliant. And many of the things that we have done to be PCI compliant will be helpful for just general security anyways, and I plan on securing other servers (the non PCI ones) after the whole project is over. I have to say, I love learning new things. I love working on new projects. That part of my job is very satisfying to me. The parts I don't like are disagreeable people, and situations, but I think most companies have those.

Ah, they're back! And before the baby comes. :) So good to know you own your place now, isn't it. One more step along the way to really being grown up. Next stop: parenthood!

You guys are doing great--everything happening in its due time! Hope Rochelle has a wonderful time in Oregon. I'm sure you'll have fun getting Gabe's room all ready when she gets back.

I am happy you were able to finally close on the condo--lots of signatures later and it's official! I hope Rochelle has a great time in Oregon as I am sure she will--family, presents and more! Good job on the work stuff! We know how hard your job is and we are proud of you!

In the midst of things as you are it may seem things are going a little slow. But, the two of you are doing amazingly well. From my perspective, you two are well on your way to a wonderful, productive, fulfilling life.
Congratulations for your finally getting your condo closed. And thank you very much for your help in cleaning the basement. It was much appreciated. We couldn't have done it without your, and Andy's, help.
