Well, it has been one month and some change since we last posted. At that point we had just sat down with the Kelly, our broker, she is amazing, thank you so much Kelly. I want to send much thanks and gratitude to Robert Arnold our realtor with Everest Realty Group, you are awesome and amazing.
Well, now back to the house. We got the apprasal and the house was in great condition and appraised for the selling price. So we got ready to finalize the loan, but we ran into some issues with past credit and other verification items, FHA loans are very strict, wow. After all that we got the thumbs up from the Mortgage and Title company to ready ourselves for closing and signing of the final papers. We thought that orginally we were going to close on August 15th, but we were able to close one week early which was awesome. Let just pause here for moment and explain how worried I was for this closing, for about the first 10 minutes I forgot how to make a cursive J, meaning that I had to initial my mistakes. Crazy. Marjorie was cool as ice about the whole thing. She is amazing and I love her so much, thanks, beautiful. I got settled down and the closing went very well and the loan, funding and reporting got finished. Once this is done, THE HOUSE IS NOW OURS, WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!! We got the keys to the house on Thursday, August 11th, the greatest day of this whole process. Such a relief to be able to have a real house we can call our home. Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We had everything lined up to move on August 13th, which yes is our Anniversary. Not the best way to spend our 2 year anniversary, sorry beautiful. I look at the positive side of this, our anniversary present to each other is a new home to live in and raise our beautiful family with a new beginning and new adventures. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BEAUTIFUL, YOU ARE AMAZING, PATIENT AND THE GREATEST PART OF OUR FAMILY, THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU FOR ALL ETERNITY. So we are home sweet home in Pleasant Grove. I am so greatful for everyone involved with this process.
To all of our friends and family, our AWESOME Realtor will be throwing a house warming BBQ for us and we want to personally invite all to attend. I will be posting the date here once we are final on it. The idea is to have the BBQ about the middle of September, but I will post the exact date here, so keep looking for this. Please attend and enjoy some great food and fun.
That's great! I know it's a lot of work and discipline to get to the point of actually purchasing a house, and you've done it! Congratulations :)
