Sugared Harpy

Oh, thank heavens that after all this hoohaa with bank (still) losing our documents, a push and pull with the sellers, and an uncomfortable walk through where the seller was a little huffy (not about us, I don’t think, but I don’t think she wanted to move ever and her husband’s job did)…we closed on our house!!

We have a key. We can’t go in until 4pm as it states on our contract. FOUR PM is killing me.

I can’t wait!!!

Thankfully, oh so thankfully on this thankfullish holiday, all three kids get to be here to walk in with us together. Family style.

1. No word on where our financial documents are. Supposedly, they’re still one of the several branches of this bank since it was an in-house courier who last had it. I do not feel confident. Shockingly.

2. Craigslist is awesome and irritating all at once. Please buy my stuff, more of it. And don’t bring it back for god’s sake, why on earth did you bring that mattress BACK to my house! Also, adopt my cats.

3. Speaking of cat adoption. That is going assingly. If you put your pets up on Craigstlist, you’ll get approximately 3498574398674832 emails regarding shipping your cat to Maine or Botswana or Latvia for your cut of one million rupees. No one will actually be a nice family who would like a pretty cat.

4. I would like our house now. I would also like someone to pack up my house, I’ve packed three boxes and I’m exhausted.

5. If you are my boyfriend. HAHAHAHA. You are now financially bound with me.

It’s really hard to buy a house when since November 4th, you’ve been sending and resending documents to your bank. Finally on November 14th, you just hand ‘em all over in person.

And then they lose them.

And then you find out today, when your loan was supposed to be approved three days ago.

You can sign another extension on the contract, and you will.

But damn…I REALLY wonder who has our very private information and why doesn’t my bank have their shit together.

You know you want it. November 26, it’s OURS OURS OURS!

There’s a nice big window in the dining room where the kids can stare at the closed pool until summer.

We found a house. A GORGEOUS house. I just know this is OUR house.

And we put in an offer…now we wait.

Am not good at waiting.

UPDATE:

They countered! Now we’re counter-countering!!

UPDATE UPDATE

WE GOT IT!!!!
