We are officially homeowners! I have to say that this last week was very stressful, if not horrific, at times. It seemed like anything that could go wrong, did. Today I am physically and mentally exhausted from a rough week and my new home is still a disaster of boxes and the fridge it still mostly empty. Thankfully we have some great in-laws who are feeding us tonight and our ward took care of us for a night or two. Here is a breakdown of our week:
Sunday: Lovely, as usual; the calm before the storm.
Monday: Mortgage broker goes AWOL. In our search for info we learn that we don't have mortgage approval
Tuesday: Still no word on whether or not our loan will be approved before we close Wednesday at 11 AM. Go to pick up moving truck and the rental place is closed (during normal business hours). We are rerouted to another place setting us back 1/2 an hour and as we turn into the rental place we get hit by an gentleman who just "didn't see us." Carrie loses it and turns into a weeping mess. Pick up the truck and load it without further incident.
Wednesday: 8 AM inspection of home, the approval is in but the "package" isn't. 11 AM still waiting for the package so that we can close. 12 PM still waiting (truck is due back by 5 PM). 1 PM still waiting with cranky toddler. 2:30 PM We finally close! 3:40 We own our home and start unloading. The rest of the day goes off without a hitch and everything gets unloaded on time.
Thursday: Appliances get delivered but OPPPSS! They don't fit into out laundry room. Erg. Get a stacking kit for our washer/dryer.
Friday: What happened on Friday? Lost in a haze of cardboard and packing paper.
Saturday: Neighbors help us stack washer/dryer (hurray!) and water heater goes out.
At the end of a rather crazy week we don't have a hot water and can't assemble the biggest piece of our furniture, but we have a lot to be grateful for. We are really looking forward to Thanksgiving this week and we can't wait for Andrew to get a couple days of break! I will make sure to post pictures as soon as we get our Internet hooked up.

congratulations!!! now I wanna see pics of it!
when things slow down for you perhaps perhaps we could FINALLY find time to get together between the two of us hah
Congratulations!!! I'm glad you were able to get into your new home. It looks great. Life sure can be "fun" sometimes.
oh my gosh, that is bad. our closing was equally horrific in different ways. Something must go wrong, right?!
I'm glad you were able to get in your home, even with all the craziness, can't wait to see pictures of it all decorated.
