We're Not Homeless

After closing only nine days late, I am happy to say that we FINALLY have a house! We were getting worried there for a while because we were supposed to close on April 21. The lease at our apartment ended on April 30, which is the day we finally did close. Because this house was a foreclosure, it needs some work done, so I will be staying with my parents until the contractors are finished working on the house. The previous owners decided to take pretty much everything out of the house: all appliances (which is the main reason I'm not staying there), light fixtures/ceiling fans, shower heads, kitchen and bathroom cabinet door pulls, towels racks in the bathrooms, toilet paper dispensers...you name it, they took it. We are also getting new flooring everywhere but the bathrooms. The flooring is really the biggest thing the contractors have to do, so hopefully they will get in and be done pretty quick. Adam had a meeting with the contractor today, so we are hoping to get a schedule this afternoon of when they will start and how long they expect it to take.

I won't be able to post any pictures until I get home, but I promise to do that as soon as I can. Now, keep in mind that I will have unpacking to do, but, I'll see what I can do! ;-) I can tell you that I have some pretty cute pictures of Logan to share, so stay tuned!

Yay!! Congrats! I can't wait to see pictures. I'm sorry you guys have to be apart for a while. Hopefully everything goes really fast! And you can't use unpacking as an excuse not to take pictures. Honestly, it isn't that hard to unpack while taking care of a three year old! ;)

HA, right! Adam got word that they are going to start working next week! YAY!!! Anyone who wants to come help unpack is welcome, though! ;-)

I'd love to!! Too bad you couldn't think of a way to include three plane tickets into your mortgage. Moving expenses???
