We're IN ! ! ! ! !

We are in our new home!! We have been moving in since the 7th of March, and we now have all our belongings here from the old place except for a few cleaning items we left behind to clean up after ourselves.

We have been 'puttering around' putting stuff in the places we think is best.... for now. We know we will be moving stuff around for several weeks trying to find it's best home. Geri has been buying a few accessories for the kitchen and bathrooms to hold various necessities used in each room. The double car garage is full of boxes of belongings that will eventually find a proper place.

This picture will be given to the homeWORD institution as proof of our home purchase. They will, in turn, provide us with a nice gift certificate to use toward household items at one of the local home stores. We attended a 'GET READY FOR HOMEOWNERSHIP' class last fall that helped us prepare for home ownership and by doing so, afforded us the certificate with photographic proof of our purchase. The class we took was very well attended and was taught by not only a real estate professional, but also by a local mortgage lender, a home inspector, a title company representative and others one meets in the process of buying a home.

We are glad to be in our new home, and look forward to the rewards that home ownership will provide us!!

39 Signatures....

We are proposing this as the name for our new home. Geri signed all the papers for our new home on Thursday the 6th, and we are now able to move into 2807 Renae Court. We were not able to get a morning schedule for our 'closing' as there was some delay due to insurance binding, but that finally came through, and mid-afternoon was set for the meeting.

So, it took 39 signatures on all the documents before we were finished with all the paperwork for our loan on the property.

We are so looking forward to getting into the home, and making it truly ours.

Plenty nervous

Geri and I conducted the final 'walk through' at the new home on Monday with our real estate agent and the agent for the seller. The place was a little messy as the owner lady was getting her last few belongings moved to her new place.

We inspected the items that were listed on the inspection report that needed attention before we accept the home. We are going to be scheduled to 'close' on the home on Thursday and will be meeting at the title office to sign all the paperwork.

We have been packing at our place for only a few days now, and expect to start moving stuff into our new home as soon as we get the keys. We are looking forward to getting moved in but not all the work that it entails! Our time to move will be limited by work schedules, but we will both have Sundays to work together.

More later....
