So, we are moving forward with our dream home!!! We close on Tuesday, Aug. 12 and we can't wait. However, it's hard to balance the house (which I am doing on my own without a realtor), the craziness of work right now, pack our apartment and get ready for a wedding in which we will travel to Burlington, VT for the weekend before we close. However, I am just rolling with it while also buying stock in any kind of brewery or winery:) In all seriousness, we are getting VERY excited with the closing two weeks away and we're actually making progress on the packing situation. Thank god we're making progress on something, right??
We had both the home inspection and appraisal last week and both went extremely well. Whoo hoo!!! The few things we asked the sellers to fix, they were completely agreeable to prior to closing so we're good on that. We've got our homeowners insurance in place and we're ready to start spending some money on the house. Whoa - slow your roll, sista! If it were up to me (and I had $1 million to spend), I would be at Restoration Hardware EVERY day but Jon and I are not quite in that situation. No worries - we're doing one room at a time.
Yard equipment - just what I always wanted to spend money on - yard equipment. But, we do need those things and that's our next purchase (aside from the new flat screen/HDTV we purchased, Jon's new clutch that needed to be replaced and the list goes on!!!). Plus, we can't wait to buy the entertainment center we fell in love with last weekend and the new office stuff we found at Office Depot yesterday. Okay, so those will be purchased and delivered the daay after we move in. Why can't money seriously grow on trees?? Why??
So now, we're waiting on the final green light from my lender to let me know we're clear for closing and we can't wait - especially since our apartment is filled with boxes, etc. Anyway, stay tuned for more as we get closer to buying our dream home.......
