The Countdown is On!


We close today!! Well, we have had a few issues come up, so hopefully we close today. First off, our ING account is not linked to our bank account, so we're trying to do some last minute stuff to try and transfer the money we'll need to pay for closing costs and stuff. The problem though, is that ING doesn't do anything last minute.

Then there's the issue of a broken vent and some chips in the upstairs bath/shower. We went to the house on Saturday and saw that they still haven't been fixed, so we told them to not plan on having us sign if the house wasn't perfect. Anyways, I hope they don't try and call that bluff.


Official move-in day is Saturday. We have family headed to Park City that weekend for a family reunion so we'll have plenty of help with the move. That means Tom and Betsy are off the hook. :) It also means that once we move in we have to spend the first week in our new home in another state.

There are two things that I am absolutely ecstatic about having our own home. One is pictured above. The drinking thingee on the fridge!! I love water!! Ice cold with lots of crushed ice. I hate warm water. If I was trapped out in a dessert with lots and lots of warm water I would die of thirst because I absolutely abhor warm water. Our fridges have always been filled completely with bottles of water so I can have cold water at my disposal.

The other thing is a slip n slide. The first major home purchase we're going to make is a suped up, pimped out slip n slide. Well, that is if such a thing exists...

I didn't know you read my blog! Ha! Your house looks awesome. I really miss my big black fridge. Black appliances are the best. Congrats!

Betsy said...

Phew!!! Thank goodness for family reunions.

Brits, they do make the suped up slip and slides and then you will have one more thing that I shall covet from you. Alas, my back yard is a little too small for one, at least with our trampoline. Oh but wait, maybe we could configure it somehow to incorporate the trampoline and then I will have a one of a kind suped up slip and slide and you shall envy me (insert evil laugh).

Oh and I'm adding you to my blogroll, hope you don't mind. I know you don't know me but I like reading your blog and it'll be so much easier if I can have a link on my blog rather than looking for your link on other people's blogs.

Congrats on the house! I love it! I'm totally jealous about the fridge also, we just have a little cheapo fridge. Well, it works! LOL

did you close and was everything fixed?

Kate said...

Yeah, are you a homo-ner yet?

so...when you look at your sitemeter and see that someone was at your blog for 10 hours or something, just know it was me and I left the computer on with your blog up and left! =)
