We have the keys!!!

Well, last night we went over to say our goodbyes to J.D., our seller. J.D. has a bad back and Rob helped him with a a few heavy items. He was mostly packed and loaded on his uhaul truck. The house looked different empty. It seemed bigger. It looked ready for us. I was finally, I think, feeling this was really going to happen, if you know what I mean. It was starting to become less about doing this and that and actually enjoying the fact we have bought our first house and will be sleeping, eating and living in it in less than 48 hours. It feels good!

J.D. and Rob both get along really good. I'm so glad God led us to this home and gave us favor with the seller. Even though J.D. knows we can't sign and be recorded until Monday (oh yeah, I forgot to say that we had to move our closing day to Aug 31st) he decided to give us the keys before closing. We made sure that our respective agents, Jen & Staci, were involved so everyone was on the same page. They made sure all the necessary paperwork will be filed with the last minute changes. It seems that our experience of buying a house is completely unorthodox from most. But that's okay. It makes it more memorable.

So, we have the keys and today we are scheduled to go in a sign the final closing papers at 11am. I'm waiting for the phone call from the escrow closers as I write this. I'll post more after the closing is final. Thanks again to all who have been supporting us throughout this journey to buying our first home. We couldn't have done it without you!!! We are blessed to have you continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We love you all. SDG LN
