Osuche's Update

[osuche]

SOme of you might have noticed some comments about an eminent relocation to California.....my av might have been a clue. :p

For those who are interested, here's what's going on. :)

My husband and I are relocating to San Francisco. I've found a job out there, and we're in proces of buying a house. In fact, we're putting down an offer on one today. :faint: Houses are expensive in San Francisco!

Here's the timeline:

4/8 ~ My last day of work at my current company
4/18 ~ Day we move out of our hosue in Ohio
4/25 ~ Day I start my new job in San Francisco
??? ~ Day we move into our new house (pending offer acceptance, financing, and all that)


If you see me pop in and out of Pixies without contributing much, or a lot slow to respond to PMs....please be patient with me. I have 100 balls in the air right now, and it's a bit challenging.

Hugs to all...... :hug:

Wish me luck :D

[Lilith]

Best of luck with all the new experiences!

[Cassiopeia]

good luck with everything!

[lizzardbits]

Wishing you the best of luck, smooth transistions, safe travels, a quick acceptance of your offer, and all the happiness in your new home, new job, and new city!

Lots Of Love to you and your hubby!

Congrats on all that's going on! Exciting news.








Especially that part about having 100 balls in the air. ;)

[wyndhy]

congrats!!!!!!!!! ((((((mr and mrs osuche))))) hope your move is safe and smooth.
here's to happy changes :wine:

[flutelady]

You've got really impressive juggling skills! I know it's all pretty overwhelming right now, but hang in there. Welcome in advance, neighbor :sun:

[Coaster]

WOW.......... a 100 balls huh? I'm not gonna ask what you did with the other body parts!

Good luck osuche! Don't forget to put my name on the sofa in SF!!! :D

[sodaklostsoul]

Good Luck Good Luck Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:jump:

Hmmm maybe DB has a Good Luck Poem?




Psst, can I borrow that truck the end of May......LOL

[krzykrn]

I think you will enjoy San Francisco, there is so much here that is available, but yes, the cost of living is VERY expensive, I can attest to that. Moving always sucks, especially cross country, but I think it will be worth it in the end for you, good luck and soon the whole ordeal will be over and done with.

[Pita]

What exciting news for you! Best of luck to you and the Mr. :x:

[osuche]

Thanks everyone! It has been a great adventure.....just hoping to escape without too many scars. :D

Updates forthcoming when I know something about the offer.......


BTW ~~ Mr. Osuche says hi and says he is excited to have a woman in his bed on a regular basis. ;)

For sure, you've got our best wishes that everything works out absolutely to perfection.

We'll sure be glad when you get settled in and back to Pixies on a steady basis, but, know you're in our thoughts when you're not here.

(I'll still miss the Ohio waves. So, here's one for the road :wave: )

[Scarecrow]

Hoping all goes well for you and Mr. osuche. We'll be waiting for updates and the final sigh when you are all settled in.

[BigBear57]

(((((((((((Osuche))))))))))))) Best wishes for all you have going on. I have confidence that there's nobody who could handle it better than you. Take care of yourself in all the scramble and I look forward to updates. :x:

[imaginewithme]

Wow, how exciting! Best wishes to you both

Hugs

(((OSUCHE)))

Congratulations And Best Wishes !!

[osuche]

Thanks everyone for the support and well-wishes.

We didn't get our "favorite" house -- our bid was second highest and we're the contingency buyer. :( I am bummed because the house was truly special.

We had two other houses we liked moderately well. We're bidding on one of the tonight. Wish us luck!

[maddy]

Best of luck osuche... I'm very close to knowing your pain all over again.

[osuche]

Well....we were the second highest offer again. <sigh> But they have countered us...and two other offers....so we plan to accept their counter and see what happens.

:spin:

[sodaklostsoul]

Oh good luck!!!!!!

[kathy1]

((((((Osuche))))) Good Luck on everything.....I'm really happy for you and Mr.Osuche.....And don't worry about the house issue....somehow, what's supposed to be, will be. :hug: :dizzy:

[Scarecrow]

ousche add a free membership to Pixie's in the deal, that way you will be way ahead of the game :thumb:

[osuche]

We got the house!

Well...it wasn't our first choice, but it is a quite nice second choice. :D

[Aqua]

((((((((((osuche)))))))))))))))))

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! That's good news. So when is the Pixies' housewarming party? ;)

[Cheyanne]

Ahhhhhhhhhh good... that is excellent news! Now, that is one thing that you two don't have to worry about! (((Osuche)))

[Lilith]

Congratulations :cheers:

You can bet your sweet behind that I will. :D Just give me a couple of months to get settled and you won't be able to keep me away. :x:

[osuche]

((((((((((osuche)))))))))))))))))

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! That's good news. So when is the Pixies' housewarming party? ;)


As long as we can have a naked housewarming party, we can do it before my clothes arrive. Otherwise, it might have to be June. :(

[osuche]

Congrats sweetie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please put me on the Pixie House Warming list! :hug:


I have a bed all reserved for you..........

I hope this time I can actually find the time to meet you....now there will be no excuses. ((((Flutelady))))

[osuche]

Congratulations! May your move go very well. Welcome to California!!


Already feels like home with so many wonderful Pixies to welcome me in it. :D

[hotfire]

losing a buckeye. Heres one for the road :hump:

[maddy]

wooohoooo on the house! I'm sure it must be a relief to have one huge item accomplished on the "to do" list.

[osuche]

Yep it is. The basement and dining room are *almost* packed up, too...thanks to buckling down and doing some packing today.

BTW -- thanks to maddy's suggestion -- I found a moving company I am happy with. Signed the contract on that today, too. :)

[maddy]

I'm glad I could help, no sense in letting my experience and knowledge go unshared :)

[campingboy]

On the Road Again.... I think that my house is on the way - the polar route -. I'm sorry but you will not be able to do any snow angels on this visit. Yes there is a month or two when we do not have any snow. But I will BBQ a great dinner of Artic Char and we can sip some good wine.

[cowgirltease]

Do you live on one of those really crooked streets? I thought they were so cool. :)
BTW Check out Benihana's. It's AWESOME! :)

[osuche]

Benihana...not you're making me hungry. :slurp:

Actually, we're going to live in the FLAT part of Berkeley <sigh> But then again the contact high from living in berkeley might compensate.

As for the crooked (and steep!) streets........I am sooooooo glad they don't get snow, or we'd all be screwed. :D

[cowgirltease]

LMAO yeah they would. BTW the flowers down that street are gorgeous in the summer!

[osuche]

Update:

OK.....So we got cold feet on the house we were in contract on. It had some significant inspection issues, like 18" of water in the crawlspace (which flooded and BROKE the furnace), among other things. Also I've realized that 2 closets in an entire house are NOT enough for my family. :D

So....we're off and looking again. Mr. Osuche is seeing a place on Friday, and then next Friday 4/22 we're planning a bigger house hunting trip.

[sodaklostsoul]

Awww sorry to hear that osuche.........Good Luck on finding one that works for you!!!!

[wyndhy]

good luck!

[Aqua]

It sucks now osuche, but I am sure you have realized that you're making a BIG purchase and you're going to be there awhile so it makes sense to get a house that makes you happy. We looked at a bunch of houses and none of them were cutting it for what we needed in a house. Finally, we came across a house that was damn near perfect. Right price range, right number of bedrooms, taken care of (some of the houses we looked at were just so run down), good neighborhood, nice neighbors... I just wish it had one more room so I could have a pool table. :p

Good luck!! ((((osuche)))))

[Coaster]

Well better to back out now than sink more $$$$ into it later....

Good luck ((((((((Osuche))))))))

[osuche]

We've finalized the moving contact and signed it today. Our stuff goes into storage until we find a home :(

Anyone ever had to put their stuff in storage? Any words of wisdom????

[Lilith]

Nothing parishable..not even herbs and spices :( Throw out anything that could possible be squeezed or leak.

[wyndhy]

some of those de-humidifying bags of rocks or whatever the hell they are would be a good idea. they're those things that don't need electicity or emtying. get storage bags for your mattresses, pillows, etc. maybe one of those vacuum hose thingys, ya know, the ones they sell in the as seen on tv stores for your bulky stuff. and spray the interior perimiter with bug/spider killer, too.

[maddy]

I'd shoot for climate controlled storage... I think it would help a lot of the ummmm climate problems :) I'm hoping to learn from you on this one as I'm afraid I will be storing my things for a bit too.

[wyndhy]

i just remembered those adverts for pods i've seen. they come to your place and leave the giant cargo box, you pack at your leisure, then they come pick it up and deliver it or store it. not sure if they are climate controlable though.

[osuche]

I made it to San Francisco -- about an hour ago. Just thought I'd check in and let everyone know I arrived safely.

/me yawns

Heading to bed now....

[rockintime]

Cooooooooolllllllllll!!!!!!! :D

Wellllll-cummm....ooops....I mean welcome.

[dicksbro]

Sleep tight, osuche ... glad you made it there safely.

(Did you see me wave? :wave: )

:D

[Lilith]

Get some rest :x:

[maddy]

Welcome Home :)

[wyndhy]

:wave: :x:
it's good to see you.

[Aqua]

Welcome to the West Coast! Get some good rest, you earned it. :x:

[Coaster]

Glad you are safe & sound...... now recharge your batteries! :x:

[osuche]

Well....I have limited computer access, so you all might see me on a bit less for the next couple of weeks. But I just ewanted to stop by and let everyone know that we're working on finding a house (doing ANOTHER bid today) and that I start work at my new job on Monday. :D

I'll catch up on my Pixies fix soon. ;)

[Scarecrow]

good luck on your house hunting and hope the new job is all you want it to be.
