We finally closed on our house today!
You might be thinking, "Umm... crazy lady, you already moved into the house! Don't people typically close before moving in?!"
Well... our situation wasn't typical. Yes, I posted about the fact that we've moved in and love the house. But there was one big detail I conveniently left out...
The fact that we didn't own the house yet.
I left that detail out mainly because just thinking about it made me very frustrated. {As with most things in life, M remained calm while I freaked out and stressed over it... maybe one day, I'll figure out how to be more like him!}
Our original offer was accepted October 26th and it had been agreed that the closing date would be November 19th, if not sooner. We started making the arrangements necessary to pack and move. Then, the week before closing, we found out there was a complication with the seller's paperwork. Which that complication then became more convoluted because of people being out of town during the Thanksgiving weekend meant deadlines were missed and the situation got more extreme. The seller had already moved out of the house so he agreed that we could move in since our lease was ending after Thanksgiving and because the complications were on his side of things.
Even though it seemed a little strange moving into a house that wasn't really ours yet, I am grateful that despite the delays, we were able to have that time to unpack and settle. With only a few weeks left in my pregnancy, it's so nice knowing that the house is ready for us to bring our baby home to anytime now.
And so finally, we DID close. As of today {drumroll please...} the house is officially ours!!
