we haz house
Jul. 21st, 2009 11:18 pmlonger update later, but we are officially home owners now
we got the locks changed, and then mom and dad took us out to eat at our favorite Chinese restaurant to celebrate; Jake came along, it was fun
most annoying things... the sellers, who wanted this pushed from Thursday to Tuesday, then arrived late to the 4pm closing, and then kept letting us know that they 'had to go by 5pm'
and i must say, Mark and I were signing things as fast as possible; the title officer was getting pretty pissed at them and made that known --- as for me, I finally said, just remind them, I totally rescheduled my work schedule to be there on Tuesday... we didn't hear anything after that (they were in the next conference room over, so we never really saw them) Also, their realtor never showed up, even though the signing was at her office... sheesh... I'm just glad to be done with those people... everyone else has been great, banker, our realtor, the title officer, etc., but their realtor and the sellers were major pains
anyhow, tomorrow begins Operation Clean House, as in, shampooing carpets and wiping down cabinets and such... and also, I'm getting into that garden! Must buy a hose tomorrow.
Sleepy now, am at Jake's where we had s'mores and a not so successful fire... so, I think we're all going to hit the sack now and FINALLY I can have a good night sleep... I've been sleeping the last four months like I'm in post-Doriath Gondolin... ah, the muses, I'm sure they're going to love the new place, and all the trees and flowers and space and lots of plot bunnies I need to get back to
icon for the pink flowers in the back yard and the happy bees that we see back there. back yard has pink and yellow flowers. I kinda took that as a sign when they came up this summer...
