We're IN!!

Closed. Closed. Closed. 

This word was music to my ears last Tuesday when we were finally handed the keys to our new home. It has been a long 5 months living apart, 3 of which have been spent trying to close on our house. Here's the short version of what took so long: We found a house we loved and made an offer. The house was a short sale and owned by the builder, so we were excited to be getting a good deal. In the meantime, the house went into foreclosure and was taken over by a bank. After weeks of contracts and paperwork, we were all set to close... or so we thought. Right before our closing, the bank went under and was turned over to the FDIC. CRAZY! The FDIC then turned it over to another bank, which started the contract process all over for us. It was a crazy series of events, that's for sure. Thankfully, I have a husband who was quite on top of it and an agent who was willing to do whatever it took to get us in our home. 


Needless to say, last Tuesday we were sitting at a closing and the house was finally ours. The movers came on Wednesday and we have spent the last 5 days unpacking boxes. Whew. You don't realize how much stuff you have until you move! We're so glad to have a home again! Home is where the heart is :)!
