Day 149: Shall we dance?

My search for a car financing deal goes on. Yesterday the main contact at the dealers was out of the office and therefore unable to fax-on the documents I sent him in support of my application. Today the person who requested those documents was out and therefore unable to look at them. Frustrating times.

We are in the process of sorting out our home-owners insurance for our new home and once that is done we should be able to set a date for closing in the next week or so. Exciting times.

This evening I went out with someone from church for a beer and some wings. How good it is to be able to both pass the time of day (or night) and to get past small-talk to discussing things that really matter to us. The place we went to was cool too - and well off the tourist-trail, so we're definitely starting to act like locals, even if we are a long way from looking (or sounding at least) like locals. Satisfying times.

Tomorrow we start the celebration of the girls' birthdays with a trip to the theatre to see Go, Diego, Go Live! The celebrations will be going on for more than two weeks so we're in for the long-haul. Exile #2's parents are going to look after E5N1 whilst the rest of the Exiles go to see the show, for which we are hugely grateful. Hopefully he will realise that his part in proceedings is to be calm and quiet (maybe even asleep!) for the duration. If not they might end up having a rather miserable time.
