Okay, I realize it's been far, far too long between updates here. It's possibly a little unfair of me to friend people and then just lurk on my Reading Page for all their updates...I'm still unconvinced that anyone will find my prattling interesting here, anyway.

Oh well.

So, the house purchase is still not finalized, but is drawing ever nearer. We unfortunately didn't make it through Seller's Bank approval stage (it's a short sale) before the government shutdown went into effect - and as it turned out, it wasn't "seller's bank" we were waiting for, as had been previously explained to me; it was HUD, solely because the seller had fucked up a reverse mortgage. Whatever, I know I can't explain it properly, but it was a whole *thing* and thanks to D***** T**** we had the pleasure of waiting an extra six weeks before we knew if we could make the purchase. UGH. Once that finally went through, though, things started to move along more quickly - at this point we're down to waiting on my bank's appraisal and the final loan lockdown. So we may close as early as next Tuesday.

ONE WEEK OMG
or, more realistically because shit tends to drag, TWO WEEKS OMG

I can't believe I'm finally going to be a homeowner at the ripe age of forty-one... ;D

I'm so happy for you, hon! This is so exciting. :) It's a wonderful feeling, isn't it? Buying a house is stressful, no doubt, but the prospect of having a place of your own, however flawed, is just a wonderful thing. Even with all of the work we've had to do on our house, I wouldn't go back.

Thanks for all the support you've given me over the course of this whole thing! All of this post is pretty much old news to you, haha - you're such a sweetheart letting me bitch and moan to you every time we get hung up with this process. <3
I love you! (((hugs)))
