Two Weeks Until Closing!

I've been feeling more nervous about our decision to buy a house with every day that we get closer to May 12. Between incessantly checking our bank account to make sure we will still have enough as an emergency fund in savings after we close, I start feeling trapped. With a house payment, I don't have the liberty to start a new career (unless it pays) or move across the country whenever I want.

Granted, when I really reflect on it, I would never do either of those things anyway. I don't have the guts. Instead, I have the guts to throw all of my money into a house in a town I know very little about (except for that is has a heavy Norwegian influence and a tiny four-screen movie theater downtown that only shows G-rated movies and serves pizza and ice cream). I guess that's all I'm really looking for in a hometown anyway--Syttende Mai and a big fat double-scoop of cookie dough while leaning back to a matinee of Cars 2. No really, that movie theater doesn't have theater seating. Each theater has a bunch of circular tables surrounded by chairs-- so you can enjoy pizza and a show. It's peculiar. Check it out.

I also stand corrected. Looks like they are showing Arthur, which is PG-13.

One thing I do want in a hometown is somewhere to buy rosettes and lefsa. I'm seriously striking gold here.
Despite my serious (though mostly facetious :) ) love of Norwegian specialty items, there is one thing that Josh and I can't really live without--and it appears that Stoughton has us covered.
Who could possibly fear settling down in a town that sells cheese by the name "Drunken Goat?" Please note that Cheesers is in close proximity to Cinema Cafe. Might have to wash that cookie dough down with some Gruyere. Did you check out their virtual tour? Looks like Cheesers also sells jam, sparkling wine, and stuffed animals. Look out Stoughton...it's time to party.
