Week 17

Ugh.... Sorry to report that there is no news. No good news, no bad news.... just no news.
Well that's not true. We did the final walk through on Wednesday and yep, I'm in love with the house and yes I was very sad. Umm maybe it's my house maybe not.
We were suppose to sign on Friday but it was canceled due to the rapid re-score on our credit has yet to be produced. At this point, we hope all is fine and that we'll be signing sometime this week coming up. I think I'll just leave it at that and will keep you posted on the shenanigans of the world of credit scores.
Have a great week everyone!

Week 16

So I'm hoping this will be my last Sunday visit to the house. If everything works out, we should be closing on Friday. I'm not likely to hear anything regarding the credit score fiasco no later than Tuesday. I'm trying not to cry or stress about it cause lets face it, there's nothing I can say or do about it period. But believe me, I do want to cry and I am stressed it's making me sick to my stomach. Walking through the house today made it even more real for me. I love it but what if I lose it... it's killing me. Well here are today's pictures. Enjoy :)

The grass is in the fence is up and the shutter's and door have been painted

I've found that the good thing about having builder grade items throughout the house is being able to take my time making choices on the look I'm going for. Even when I was picking things like the carpet and granite, I felt rushed. I'm feeling better.

This week, if all goes well, I'll post the final walk through, the signing, the moving and the I'm not sorry to see you go... apartment. We moved to Texas 2 years ago and apartment living is not for me. We'll talk again on Wednesday.
And by the way.... feel free to comment!

week 15.5

Darn, now that I think of it, I should have done a drive by and snapped a picture of today's progress. I found out yesterday that the grass was going to be laid.
Well, this week hasn't been a good one on the house front. We found out that there's a blip on our credit report that could be a hindrance to us getting our house (well that's a bit of an exaggeration). This little blip didn't show up the first time our credit was checked back in May. To our surprise, we found out my brother-in-law added the 2 of us to his credit card as authorized users. The problem is my brother-in-law passed away this pass June and didn't leave a will. His wife couldn't pay any of the business bills until the legal stuff was settled. Because of that, she was delinquent on all the bills regarding the business. This just totally bites!
We're 3 days into this mess and if our loan officer doesn't get the letter from the credit card company by Friday morning, our closing will have to be pushed back. ERRRRR!!
All utility companies have been notified for turning on and off the various hook-ups. We already gave final notice and payment to our apartment complex. Deposit checks have been sent out. What a mess! The guys who were set up to help with the move were getting excited not because of the move itself but for what was at the end. Beer and food.
Have I mentioned how much this sucks? Ah nope.... haven't used the word suck yet :) ohh how it does! Suck I mean!
Alright enough.... I'll let you know where we stand on Sunday when I post next. OMG tomorrow is Friday. It all comes down to tomorrow. Maybe I'll make a call to the credit card company to see if it all went well.
I'll see you back on Sunday!
