We got the keys last night!!!!! Ahh it was sooo exciting, we just can’t wait to actually move in.

We met up with our realtor Lloyd who gave us the keys and did one last walkthrough. He’s going to have the seller’s realtor get someone to blow off all the leaves on our front yard (you can see some in the bottom of the photo). We have a gimongous tree in the front yard that has shed about 2-3 inches of leaves. Pretty tree but lots of cleanup. 🙂 So that’s nice of him.

Today the demolition starts on the kitchen!!! We made a copy of the keys last night for our contractor so I think he’s in there right now ripping things apart. Woo hoo!

Just got the call from our Realtor – our loan has been funded and it will be recorded this afternoon. We’re picking up the keys tonight!!!! AHHH soooooooooo excited!!!

Time to celebrate!

We didn’t close today. We’ll just have to continue to be patient. Ugh.

We signed our loan documents tonight!!

CJ is in North Carolina so he had a Notary Public come to his hotel at 8PM to sign everything and I had come to my parent’s house at 6PM to sign all the documents. It took at least a half hour to go over everything.

I wanted to document this momentous occasion so I asked CJ to take a picture of him signing since we couldn’t do it together. This is the photo he sent me, he’s such a goof. I obviously wanted to see a picture of more than just his hand!

As far as next steps, we might have to wait for the lender to receive the hard copies of CJ’s signatures (which is a bit ridiculous, what year is it? 1800?) and then it will be funded. We could either close on Friday or Monday. With their track history, it will be Monday but we’ll see, maybe they’ll be speedy!

Our washer and dryer were delivered today!! We ended up getting the blue ones. We liked that color too so we’re happy with them.

We can’t wait to have a house to unpack them and start using them!!

The house still hasn’t closed. They keep asking for more info so we’ll see. It’s amazing that its already been 2 1/2 weeks since the house was approved and it still hasn’t closed.

Our washer and dryer are being delivered tomorrow! … To my parents house because we still don’t officially have the house.

The house hasn’t closed yet. The bank keeps moving out the closing date so we’ll see when it happens.

In the meantime, we’re choosing cabinet stains and granite. Below are some of our choices.

Can’t wait to see everything come together!!

I’m not a big fan of Black Friday… the crowds overwhelm me. But yesterday, we purchased our first ever washer and dryer for the house!! The discount was hard to ignore. 🙂
