I want to start of by apologizing for not posting any updates since the end of last month. A combination of busy work schedules and preparation for our new house has left me a little short on posting time. Closing is today at 4pm, and I think we finally have everything ready. Since I have been MIA for quite some time, I will try to provide a brief update on what has been going on with our new home.

As I mentioned, we have everything prepared for the closing this afternoon. The only slight scare we had was with the insurance policy (which has to be in place before closing). With all the commotion of ordering carpet, buying paint, scheduling moving dates, and hectic work lives…we had forgotten to get quotes on a homeowners policy. We were able to get a couple different quotes before deciding on a company, and got the policy around the middle of last week. It’s cutting it a little closer than what I would have liked, but I’m happy we were able to get it taken care of.

We are meeting Val at 3pm today to do a final walk-through of the house before our closing. I feel like I have been waiting forever for April 30th to come, so that we could finally close. My excitement about the idea of owning my first home really started hitting me this weekend, and I can’t wait to close and get the moving process started. I will make sure to post a full update on the walk-through as well as the closing in the next couple of days.
