Almost there!

Finally the week has come where we get to close on the house!  We are a bit overwhelmed with everything but we know it will all fall into place and will turn out.  

The packing is coming along, it is my most hated job on earth though so it takes  a lot of discipline :)  Our goal is to pretty much be totally packed by wednesday night.  We have to be at the bank at 3pm thursday for our closing, then hopefully we can go right to the house and check it out again, using our OWN key!!!!!  We (or I guess I should say "I") want to clean the house before we move our stuff in.  So that is going to be a big job between thursday night and friday night.  

Then the big moving day is saturday!  I am actually not going to even be there for it!  Myself along with a couple other girls from our church our going to a bridal shower in Green Bay that morning.  The men folk are going to do the moving for us!  We are so thankful to have met such great people in our short time here that are willing to help us with this big job, truly a blessing. 

We did have another little hiccup with the house though (of course its us!).  The appraiser did not appraise the house for what our loan amount was for.   So, that caused some drama.  The final result was that the sellers lowered the purchase price (again, so that worked out for us!).  But also this appraiser is making us paint the trim on the house (which is in bad shape) before we close.  We are not sure why he even cares, but again here we are playing their games.  So Alec took the day off today to go over there and scrap them and paint them, and the appraiser is going back there at 1pm to re-appraise the house.  Again though it all worked out and we pray nothing else happens in the next 48-hrs before we close!

We will be very very happy when it is all said and done and finalized!  Way too many changes have happened, but it has definitely been a learning experience for us!
