I'm baaaaaack

After a whirlwind and exhausting 2 day business trip I am back in business and a mere 4.75 HOURS from getting inside Dream House again! 

Today is the walk through, tomorrow is the closing.  So far, so good.  We got the receipt for the repairs we asked them to get done.  The loan is all approved and good to go.  And we approved a form that the realtors needed to exchange so that we can talk directly to Jim and Cindy about possession. 

It all seems too good to be true, doesn't it? 

3 funny things....
1) Cindy asked us (through the realtors) if we wanted an entertainment center they are using in the garage for storage.  I can not for the life of me remember what this entertainment center looks like but we said "free furniture, sure!"
2) Subsequently Cindy asked us if we wanted to buy the turtle and his tank that they have in the breakfast nook in the kitchen:
that's it there in the corner. 
She said it was worth $400 but she was willing to give it to us for $75.  We said "No, thanks."
3) Remember the TV lamp I bought Mr. Molly for Father's Day? Well I went over to BFF's house to see if I could install the lamp and get the TV to work.  Much to BFF's hubby's dismay, that $38 lamp made it work like a charm and now he's in even deeper doo-doo for rushing out to buy a brand new TV.  Great news for me, bad news for him.  Can't wait to pick up our new 61 incher next Thurs.

Molly's parents are set to arrive on Independance Day to see the inside of Dream House for the first time and help with the move.  The following weekend we rented a UHaul to pick up some furniture from Molly's Grandma's house.  We will be getting:
  • Dining Room Table
  • 2 twin beds
  • Dining room server thing
  • Amazing desk that I LOVE b/c it has a lot of sentimental meaning
  • And whatever else strikes our fancy... maybe some dressers/mirrors
All of that for the cost of the UHaul ($350).  That will be a good start but there will still be lots of empty space in Dream House for a while and that is perfectly fine.  This is seriously going to be one of the best week of my life, starting... NOW.
