We've done it.  We closed on the home. 

Now if we could only get possession.....

Walk-Through inspection is Thursday at 7.
Closing is Friday at 4.
Possession is next Saturday at 4.
Our Loan Officer is going to pay for our appraisal and is going to get us $500 back on our down payment somehow.  It's because it's a super duper awesome guy and doesn't do this for a living, only for family and friends, so doesn't *need* the extra money.

I sold our cocktail table this morning:

We just got back from RC Willey and purchased

a refrigerator

(Yes, white.  Stainless scratches stupid easy and every little fingerprint shows)

stove

(Ceramic flat top, convection)

and dining table set

It looks a lot nicer in person - when we get it I'll take a picture.  It's beautiful - and we got a frikken awesome deal on it.  

We both took today off to celebrate our anniversary since we weren't able to take yesterday off.  We fought all morning because I'm being difficult.  I'm even being difficult for myself to handle because I don't know what my problem is.

All of that is going to be delivered once we get possession.  They're also taking away the old stove.

Off to Mimi's Cafe.

Happy Anniversary to George and I

I've cooled down.  We're getting a house, that's what matters.
We just got back from taking measurements, painting all 1350 square feet seems like a huge task... ugh.
We are closing on the 22nd, we'll get the keys at 4:00ish on the 30th.  We'll clean, shampoo the carpets and prime the walls then.  George will move on the 31st while I paint the main rooms.  I pack, he moves. 
But now George's gotten paranoid about the garage and thinks it's going to collapse.  He wants to hire an engineer to come out and look at the stability.

Everything for the loan and the house is done, we just have to wait for closing.  The deadline is the 27th, but when we set that date and when we signed the addendum of 2 days after recording, we did not understand that we had to wait 2 days after closing for the loan to be recorded then an additional 2 days after that recording to obtain possession.

Our realtor spoke to the seller's realtor and they can't close early.  We'll get possession on the 1st, but we have to be out of our current apartment BEFORE the 1st.

Mother. Fucker.

I'm so angry - mostly at our realtor but a lot at myself.  I feel like I didn't ask enough questions or read up on it enough.  I didn't read into it enough.  But my fucking realtor should've made sure I understood that part, because she understood we had to be out before the 1st.

I don't know what to do, really.

I want to fucking bitch slap that realtor.

My response to her email:
"I don't really know what to say.  I'm really disappointed and scared on
how this is all going to turn out.  When we signed the contract I
thought that we would be getting the keys to the house by the 27th,
George and I didn't realize and we feel it wasn't communicated or
explained to us that we had to wait for recording, then wait an
additional two days to get the keys.  This leaves us in a huge bind
when we have to be out of our apartment before the 1st of September..
giving us a day plus an evening doesn't give us enough time.
I guess it's out fault for not understanding the contract and we'll have to pay for it."

Archie has a single... don't think it's come out yet officially

I feel depressed like I did in high school.  Hopelessly depressed.

Things are fine, I think my hormones are just screwed up from the pills I was taking for fertility, I took them irregular because I kept forgetting. 

I hope it passes.

I'm just so sad.

It's seriously happening. 

• Our documentation is good for the down payment, so we're golden there
• They're going to fix the things we asked them to fix
• The appraisal is being ordered and we will have the report by the 11th
• Our loan officer says closing early won't be an issue - which means we'll be out of here by the 1st of September, no problem
• Our stocks have been liquidated and posted and a check was mailed out today, we receive it in 7-10 days
• I know what colors I want to paint everything: mostly beige/cream with white trim, dark green (CLASSY dark green) brick in the kitchen and light green elsewhere in the kitchen, slate gray/blue in the guest bedroom and "shit" brown in the computer room (per George's request)
• My mother says she wants to give us the bedroom set (mahogany SLEIGH bed with matching dresser) my parents bought for me when I was in high school, which means we'll have the set we have now plus that set, which means we're totally awesome
• I know what countertops I want (kinda): black quartz or granite
• I know what flooring I want for the 1st floor (kinda): real hardwood - large planks - walnut or mahogany, or travertine (good because George can install that himself)
• We can also afford a refrigerator, because I am awesome and I have CREDIT

anxiety is one of the worst feelings I've ever felt.

probably just stress, right?
