I have been so caught up in packing and signing TONS of paper work and making sure that they get back to our loan officer on time that I didn't really read over my syllabus in detail and come to find out I have a midterm in Political Science this week! So on top of moving and have escrow delays I now have to find time to study for my test.
Anyone want to switch lives for a week?
Buying a home is STRESSFUL to say the least and buying a bank owned just added to it. After 2 1/2 months we signed our loan docs today! I really thought a few times that it wasn't going to happen and that we would have to start the process over and there were even a few times when I hoped that would happen, BUT it all worked out and we are HOMEOWNERS!!!
The appraisal added an extra surprise of an HOA and that has caused some drama and it has delayed the escrow part of signing (but that should be taken care of over the weekend) We have been packing for awhile now here (or I should say I have) and Tuesday is move day. I was in tears yesterday due to all the drama and now I'm am a bit giddy.
9 years and 3 kids Brandon and I are finally grown ups
We just relized that we close September 21 which is a Monday and our move out date is September 25 that Friday, that leaves ZERO weekend days for Brandon to help with the move! He requested the 27th and since it is a weekend they moved it to that Friday, GREAT! Not only are we moving an hour away but I'll be doing most of it myself!
Things around here are busy, busy, busy! I had made a master plan to clean the house, pack and stay on top of my school work and Brandon had to throw a curve ball at me. Housing wanted to do a pre-inspection which gave me 4 days instead of 4 weeks!
The more I started going through stuff the bigger the mess became. I had a keep, give away/sell, and trash pile in each and every room! Last night I came to the conclusion that the house wasn't going to be in move out condition for the pre-inspection and made peace with it. The manager came by today and walked through the downstairs, looked in the garage and said he was done and that the house was fine.
Over stressing again about small things, story of my life! At Least now I have a huge jump start into getting rid of everything I don't want to take with me to the house.
As far as closing goes, we were sent another set of documents that we have to sign and our lender called today and feels that should be everything so that we can have the 21st as our closing date. That is 3 weeks away! I can't even try to imagine I'll be a home owner in 3 weeks!
As of school, it's school. Homework sucks, math is hard and I read a great book for Political Science, They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky. We don't have to write a report on it till midterms, but the last book I was assigned to read was so difficult to get through that I thought I would start now and I ended up not being able to put it down. Guess I should start that paper now since we will be in Vegas when it is due.
Speaking of Vegas, I am getting more and more RSVP's (is that spelled right or even a word?) and I can't wait to see everyone! I counted 12 states that I sent invites to, Navy life brings friends from all over.
