Things to do

My... It's been a particularly busy month. Work has been crazy, and I've got a bunch of side projects I've gotta be working on.

Pixel Hunt
I'm writing an article on independent games development in Australia, and I've got to finish questionnaires for three interviewees. There's a few other leads I have to follow up on as well. I've also got to finish a game review and an op-ed for publication within the next 3 weeks.

Wedding
I've received responses from friends on their availability to attend our wedding, and we've got to arrange for invitation cards to be mailed out. There's still details to be worked out, such as seating plans, wedding gifts to Audrea's family, wedding cars and videography.

House-hunting
We've gotten our finances in place, and are seriously looking around for homes now. It's really quite taxing driving from property to property, examining the homes and talking with the real estate agents. We haven't really found one that we love that's within our price point just yet though, so that means more searching. And once we do find a place, we'll have to organise movers as well as shop for new furniture.

It's wouldn't be work if it wasn't tough, no?

Buying a house should seem exciting but it really isn't. The prospect of having our own place is nice.

But associated with that are new worries of interest rates, loan terms, financial liabilities, our ability to finance the loans, hidden costs, moving, buying new furniture, valuation of the property, building inspections, lawyers' fees and tax.

Walk in a park, this isn't.
