On pins and needles

AKA: More moving stress

Today Matt *officially* officially accepted the position. As in, got the salary verified and they are sending paperwork for him to sign and send back. They wanted him to start on July 19. haha His market can't release him until August 2, though, so that's when he'll start there. They're apparently still trying to work something out to get us out there for a week so I can look for houses and he can "gain a presence in the store" whatever that means.

I'm currently waiting by the phone/computer for word back from the mortgage lender. I called the corporate relocation lender and put in an application yesterday. She had to send it through underwriting and said she'd put a rush on it. I just called a little while ago and she said that the underwriter has is now and is working on it. She said she'd call or e-mail me when it's finished. This is what our house hunting is hinging on. We need to make sure we can get another mortgage over there. If we can't, then we'll have to start looking for a place to rent. Not easy with a big moose of a dog.

Besides that, Cadence is being rather clingy today and if I try to lay her down somewhere and get up, she starts crying. She's also not to fond of the sling. So we're laying in bed alternating between me just being very close to her and nursing her. Which, of course, means that I'm not getting any packing done. I'm having visions of the last 6 times we moved, where someone else just shoved things in boxes and I never did get them all unpacked.
