Sebastian & I are currently living at my parents' house while we wait to close on our house. It's super convenient for me, since I work here during the day anyway! And there's no hiding that I'm a total daddy's girl & my mom is my best friend, so this whole situation hasn't been horrible in the least. :) However, we're really looking forward to getting into our house! And since I never completely moved out of my parents' after I got married ('stuff' wise), I think my dad may be more excited than us to not have my shoes & clothes & everything else all over the house anymore, haha!
There are a lot of people who have smooth, fantastic home buying experiences. Lemme tell you - that's not us! This whole thing has been a nightmare. We're a part of a really great first-time home buyers program, & while it's going to save us a ton of money in the long run, it's taken twice as long & still isn't over!
We just got an email yesterday saying they've pushed back our closing date. Ughhh. It's frustrating. They keep asking for more & more info & paperwork. They have asked us for multiple things that we've already provided & I just want to say, "Um, hi. You need our bank statements again? Cool, since we've already given them to you twice, maybe you can just head over to your copy machine & make another copy - just like we'd do. Thanks!" Nope.
This whole process has been a real test of patience, but I know that once it's all over with, it will be so so SO worth it. The house we're buying is adorable & perfect for us. I can't wait for the day we get to move in & start our life in our new HOME!
For now, I'm soaking in the time at my parents', sleepover's with Jesse Ryder, & central heat. ;) We have lots of baking/cooking to do for tomorrow, when we'll gather together with family & say something we're thankful for. But how will I choose? My life is blessed, & even through the rough patches & difficult times - I am eternally grateful.
