Well, I wanted to make a grand entrance and write in depth when I had time, but since ya'll are so darned impatient and were going to start rumors about who-knows-what... (Don't go there..) this will just have to be quick and dirty. Party poopers.
Yes, we got approved for our mortgage to buy the duplex we were looking at. We're super excited, already bought a fridge (since we need our own appliances) and have started looking at stoves. Washer and dryer will magically appear within the next month (thanks again for the wedding present, you-know-who :D).
We got a slamming great interest rate (I'm pretty sure... but our mortgage rep hasn't called me back with that final number.. it was amazing last Friday anyway) with a 15-year loan... We're supposed to close around May 1st, which is when we can move in. Or well, Joel, until I get up there.
So yes, we're excited!
The rooms are a bit smaller than our apartment now, and the layout is generally not as nice, but it will be amazing to actually have storage space in a basement... with laundry right there! Thank you dear bank, I now need no more rolls of quarters.
And no, it's not what you all were thinking. Don't hold your breath. :)

Exciting things are coming....
just wait a little longer.. :)
Oh, and I did get a Blackberry... but not the Pearl. I got the Curve, since the qwerty keyboard was mostly why I wanted it in the first place.
