Moved In!!!

Yeah!! we are all moved in. Still in boxes that are slowly getting un-packed, but we are in. Jena, to answer your question, we are in the Overland Trails III-A subdivision. I tried emailing you this information last time you asked, but apparently my email didn't make it. Anyone that would like the actual address, email or call me and I will give it to you.

We rented a giant U-haul truck on Friday and spent the evening packing everything we owned into it. We couldn't quite get everything but we sure came close. then we spent the night at Kacee's parents house. We were very worried about the predicted storm on Saturday, but for us the weather was perfect, though it was a bit cold. The big storm on Saturday hit North and South of us, but the valley that Eagle Mountain is in barely received a skiff of snow and all we had to deal with was wind and cold.

We have been in the house for two nights now and it almost doesn't seem real. We are in a new house that we plan to be in for the rest of our lives. It is crazy that everything worked out as well as it did.

My last post was all about how terrible things were for us trying to close. However on Wednesday we finally had everything work out very well for us. We got the keys for our new house and were able to change the locks, we got an offer on the townhouse we are moving out of and the buyer wants to close before Christmas. Also, at work, Kacee was notified that the job opening she applied for in another department was hers. We had a lot of good in one day to help balance out the bad the week before. Once we get the main living areas organized and unpacked we will probably have a get together or open house so anyone who wants to can come visit at our new house. More on that if and when it happens.

Frustrating Aggravation

Last week was totally frustrating. Originally we were supposed to close on our house December 1st. We were resceduled to Wednesday the 3rd jut because the underwriting company needed moe time. On the 3rd we were told "You will not be closing today. It should be tomorrow." This was because the underwriting company had their computers go down for a couple hours on the 2nd and couldn't get all the work done as they had thought. Then on Thursday the fourth they started asking questions about information that they had had for over a month. We had to sign and fax several papers back and forth and the under writers again cancelled on us and said, "Tomorrow you will be able to close." So Friday comes along and they start asking more questions again we are faxing documents back and forth all over the place and we are told, that we can close this today and get the keys to move into the house. The underwriting company decides that all the documentation that we work on today is unnecesary and rejects it outright. They do however get the documents to the title company and we are able to sign the papers. However, at the signing we learn that the bank we are purchasing the house from has reserved the right to review the documents for 48 business hours after signing before they turn over the keys. So since we weren't ablt to sign until 5:30 on Friday night the bank will get the papers first thing Monday morning and can review them until end of day on Tuesday and doesn't have to turn over the keys until Wednesday. It is so frustrating and aggravating because we had plans to move the smaller things we already had packed up over the weekend and then on the 13th to rent a uhaul and actually move everything else.

We are hoping that this week works out a lot better than last and that we actually do get the keys and can finally count the house as ours and get moved. Oh, and one more thing. As we started signing the papers to "close" on our house we found out hat the house is in an HOA. We specifically asked about that when we put an offer on the house and we have been told the entire time that there was no HOA. So we have been trying to figure out everything about the HOA over the weekend and have had no success because everything is closed. Today I finally got informaton that is actually helpful, but I have a 61 page legal document to read through to find out what CC&Rs we have to follow. It is a pain. Hopefully the next time I post I will have some good news and maybe pictures of us moved into our new home.
