We've done it!

We've signed!! Yesterday I got a call from Joe saying that we needed to meet at the lender at 3:30 to sign our closing papers. What a relief! Our part is done, now whats left is to patiently wait for the sellers to sign their half and pray that we get the keys by the end of the day.

Paperwork wasn't bad yesterday. We went in thinking this was going to take 4 hrs of signing, but we started at about 4:15 and were out an hour later. We were all pretty shocked! I don't think I've signed my name that many times since I've been married. I told everyone that this was good practice for me. I mean I'm used to writing Hellstrom, but I haven't gotten the right signature yet.

Our mortgage guy Arni let us use his Mont Blanc pens for the signing. The were really nice to sign with and he informed us that we can buy our own Mont Blanc pens at Costco for a small price a $100. That's right, $100 for a PEN!! There is actually a fun story about how this pen came to be, but that's an entire new blog. :)



So now we play the waiting game.. Wait, wait, wait and wait. Judy (the seller) did inform our realator that they were going in first thing this morning to sign, but the funds and everything may not record until later on today.. So I don't think we'll really know until 4 or 5 this evening! I don't know if I can wait that long! We want the keys in our hands so that we KNOW it's done!


Other exciting news is that Kelly and I may have found someone to take over our lease at James Point so we won't have to buy out of it! We have the money if we have to, but if they take it over they'd be saving us a lot of money! Fingers Crossed!!

That's it for now! Trust me, I'll update you guys as soon as we know! Thanks again for all of the love and support from family and friends! It's finally here and we can't wait!!
