Loan was approved

FINALLY!!!! Our loan was approved today. Now I feel much better about packing and getting things ready to move. We have gotten a lot done but still a lot to do on the new house as well as packing this one. We bought Robert a new saw this weekend at Sears, I have a feeling he will be using it quite a bit. Now to line up the contractor and to move forward. Closing goal is Sept. 19th but Robert wants to push it out to the 22nd or the 23rd. I just want to get it over with.

Moving forward

WE GOT THE HOUSE!!!! now to move to new chores! We are suppose to close by October 5th but hopefully before the end of September, that way we can work on getting the repairs and painting done before we move in and the house that we are in now cleaned by the end of October. We are thinking the repairs won't take but a week, I am thinking they won't take that long and that will give us 3 weeks to clean all the furniture and get moved in, lets keep our fingers crossed. I am very excited! Our new home is going to be wonderful!

House buying 101

Okay so I didn't know much about buying a house! BUT now I am close to being able to pull my hair out!! I have learned so much over the past two weeks! I don't know if Robert let me do most of the research or if he just didn't have the time but I am very grateful! I also hope I took some of the pressure off of him, I know everything has been hectic but I have kinda enjoyed doing it. I feel like an adult making decisions not just someone that really doesn't have a say in anything like other women may go through. If we get this house I can say and feel like I actually helped on this one and it is truly ours not just Robert's because we have done this together. The last house was all Robert because I didn't have a clue as to where to even start. I think this will truly be a home....Well we counter offered last night so we should hear something today so let's see how it goes.....More later on the house.....
