It's about stinkin time...

So after 10 weeks, TEN FULL WEEKS under contract, we got final approval on Friday and we are supposed to close on our loan today. My guess is it's tomorrow morning instead... but that's just because, ya know, we were supposed to close on this loan in DECEMBER, then it kept getting pushed back "a few more days" until now... so I'm not holding my breath for this afternoon. But tomorrow for sure, if it doesn't happen today. I'm glad, relieved, exhausted and excited. I went to the house yesterday and my mom helped me wipe out every single cabinet and drawer and I lined them all with contact paper. We've already scrubbed and sanitized every possible thing, so that will make un-packing so much easier. Everything is spotless and ready for me to live in, well, the tile isn't quite spotless, but I'm sure it's going to get dirty when we actually move our stuff in, so I'm waiting on that one... plus I think it needs a professional grout scrub and seal, so I'm planning to do that next week, but other than that, it's ready!!! This has been one LONG, crazy and unpredictable emotional ride. But when all is said and done, I have a beautiful house and a great neighborhood to live in. I'm so grateful.
