Want to know what's up?

Relief should come by Saturday

I am very excited and frustrated at the same time. If I'm lucky these mixed emotions won't give me a headache today.

Good news should always come first:

We are buying a house!!!!!! Last night I took my sis and a best friend by the house and there was a sold sign placed over the real estate sign. That means it's mine right? I took them through the backyard, which prompted a neighbor to come out and ask what was up. (Good neighbors) I told him we were going to be purchasing the house and I was so excited I wanted to show them. He told me the owner's were at his place, and then I got to meet the owner's wife and son. We talked a little and she said they had a laugh when they saw that my husband's middle name was James. Her husband's first name is James, the listing agent's first name is James. I realized later that she would only have known what my husband's middle name was if they had signed the agreement to sell. This means they accepted our offer. That means it's mine right? I'm still waiting to hear from the agent. (Mind you yesterday was Sunday)

We still have to talk to the lender. The agent basically said that this lender that they work with get's almost all of their customers a loan (Manufactured home loans are different than regular), and as far as he can tell their isn't any reason why we won't be approved.

My sis fixed my car this weekend. Much THANKS go her way. I truly appreciate the time and energy, and I'm sorry about the battery thing. It was a newer battery, but sitting for 6 months hooked up wasn't good. I look forward to not having to rely on other's vehicles.

My other sis said she'll be here Wednesday evening if I want to go do something w/o kids. I'm going to use that opportunity to go to the library alone.

Okay now the frustration:

Obviously I haven't heard from the agent yet and it is only 9:30am, so I have to calm those excited horses.

I want to fill out the loan app, but I need more info from Derek. Plus I need the selling price of the home, but I have to talk to the agent to see if they really did accept our offer.

My tags are expired on my car, and I have to do DEQ. Well, DEQ is closed on Mondays. And I can't get new tags unless I pass DEQ. Now I have to wait one more day. Shouldn't matter, but it kinda does.

I can't find the library card. Hmmmmmm...


I think I will just focus on laundry and packing whatever I can. Still need to make Nat's b-day dress, but am in no mood to sew. I hope she doesn't mind the procrastination.
