New Home
We were not regular with our blogs for a while, and that is with the reason. We were busy with the process of buying a home. The search itself was a slow, sometimes painful and sometimes enlighting process. Dhevi will look at the listings from the realtor and mark those things which are interesting and send it for my review. If we both like something we will ask the realtor for a show. You after a while looking at so many homes from the listings everything looks the same! Out of all the houses we have seen one stood out and we ended up buying it. Today we closed the deal. We are moving to the new house this week end.
Another part of our story is getting things for the new house. We signed the contract two months ago and ever since we were visiting furniture shops, online sites for all the things we need. I guess we put in lot of time and energy in finding the things for the new home than finding the house itself. We have only a week left for Christmas and we have to set up the home and do all the decorations for Christmas. Everything went according to the plan except one thing. We started the whole home buying process to surprise our parents when they visit us this holiday season. But because of the Indian bureaucracy mom couldn't get the No Objection Certificate from the Government ( Can you imagine? even to get your passport to need approval from the Director of Education and believe me that is not an easy task. As much as we love india, these are the things that evoke an unpleasant feeling about the whole system. ). Anyway we hope they will enjoy the house when they visit us during summer of next year.
Meanwhile we have a housefull of friends visiting us this holiday season. This week end Vishnu, Renuka, Giri Uncle's family and Ravi. Next week end Niha Samyu and Family and Amma, Suchi and Palani will be here from East coast. Annamalai may visit us from west coast. Raghu and family from Columbus for the Christmas weekend. Shiva and Sheeba family, Anand and Geetha family, Giri uncle family, Srini and Sudha family will be joining us for the Christmas Eve dinner.
