Happy Entering! Best of Luck!

I am so tired of hearing about Swine Flu. It can just bite the big one!

I am so excited about the Townhouse. I think we’re going to have seperate offices this time around. We decided that we don’t have guests over enough to dedicate a room to them LOL. We have the Aero Bed given the occasion some one stays over, and that can be set up down stairs in the formal living room if needed. We could just get a partician screen to set up if someone stays over. Or they can set up the Aero Bed in the Living Room.

I cleaned and packed up my craft room yesterday, most of my supplies are scattered about in different plastic tubs, but once we get moved it will all get sorted and set up properly. Since it will be set up in my office, I’ll likely craft more. I will also have my sewing machine set up so that I can start working with it more. Andrew will be able to have a quiet place to himself to work on Braineacts stuff. I am just not sure who is taking which room. The rooms look to be sized differently, but the floor plans show them to be about the same size. I am not sure if they look so different just because they’re layed out differently, or what. Since I will have more stuff to fit into the space than Andrew, I should probably take the bigger room, but I don’t want to hog the bigger room. Andrew said he doesn’t care who gets what room, but we’ll see LOL.

We are still arguing about where the TV will go. LOL. I want to put it in the Living Room off of the kitchen, but Andrew doesn’t think it will fit comfortably. He doesn’t want the back of the couch to section off the two rooms, but I think it will be fine. One of the things I loved about this floor plan was that it made it so that you could see the TV from the kitchen. So when I’m cooking dinner, or entertaining for guests, I can still be part of the group. Much unlike our kitchen is now. It’s completely walled off from where we have our seating and TV. I know we’ll get it figured out. I am not very comfortable with the TV in the living room by the front door because it’s so cut off from the rest of the house. That is why it would be nice to have the love seat in there with a book shelf  or something.

Whenever I think about the placements, I get even more excited. I cannot wait for this to happen. Then I get even more anxious for the guy to call and tell us to go put down our $$ to ‘reserve’ the house, then take our paperwork to the bank. I am just so tired of waiting lol! I want to hear, and I want to hear now! lmao

I know, I whine a lot, but seriously, I am so impatient. A house is freaking huge! I am dying to know how the paperwork is. I want to know every little step of the way!

I called our Real Estate Agent today and he said that the development had six other offers on the homes in the place. I asked if any were on our unit, and he said, “no you’re fine.’ So I would like to think that he’s not allowing any other offers on it. OOOOORRRRR, we’re retarded and no one else liked our unit

All of you who know me know that I am going absolutely BONKERS right now, not knowing. So, I will be online late into the evening drooling over the same pictures we have. Hoping to get a phone call tomorrow.

Hey there peeps. Thought it might be a good idea to post some pics of the model home. It’s furnished. It might give a little more perspective of the size space we’re dealing with

 

I say I will write more, but I don’t. My apologies.

[[All of these posts will become public once we get our keys to our house, and everything is signed and dotted. ]]

Anyway, we signed the purchase and sell agreement through the real estate agent. Monday or Tuesday, he will give this document to the builder, who then has to sign off on it. From here, we will go to the bank, (we were given two names of people who would slip us to the top of the pile), and get approved. Hubby is currently looking online to make sure through their calculator’s that we’ll get approved, etc etc. Just so that we have some security before going in.

REWIND: – Yesterday I called my land lord and mentioned that we went out on a whim to look at this townhomes, because we did, and said that we fell in love, and have been working with the real estate agent, and are hoping to buy. I said we are at the first or second stage so far, and wanted to be sure before proceeding that we would be able to get out of our lease early to buy a home. He agreed that we could, and for all the reasons we hoped he would say (no one wants to move after school starts, when it’s raining, etc etc (our lease is up in October)). We are looking at a date to be moved out by July 1.

The real estate agent worked out the date of May 25th, for us to be moved in on, or before. Our land lord said they can sometimes delay, so to add 30 days to this date wouldn’t hurt. Which would put us at July 1, anyway. Hubby and I agree, that if we move out of this house at the end of May, we would have that time to be home while showing the house to potential renters, and to make sure everything is spotless, also, to get any and all deposit $$ returned to us.

That was a huge relief, to get his blessing, because now we aren’t going to have to pay the rest of our lease which is >$7,500.00. So, you can see our relief If we weren’t able to get out of the lease, we may have also told our real estate agent, sorry-no-can-do.

Everything seems to be falling into place, and it’s really exciting!

So, my dedicated readers know that we’re looking to buy a house.

We’ve taken the first step, and gotten paperwork drawn up for the builders to approve. Then we go to the bank to get approved and we get our keys on closing. Our paperwork now lists May 25th, 2009 as our tentative closing date. We could be moving into our new home in a month from today. OUR VERY OWN HOME! We got Hubby’s parents blessing. They took us out to dinner to Famous Daves afterward.

The only two things that could hold us up at this point are, 1-Complications from our land lord. 2- We don’t get approved right away.

Since I know that you’re all dying for pictures I’ve added some below.

I am going to be very not Politically Correct for a few minutes and so what if you get pissed off.

How many of you actually found what Miss California said to be offensive? I think it was confusing, but not offensive. I watched it over and over again and am still confused.

On the radio, a guy said that if Perez Hilton was going to get offended about if she had said no she didn’t support it, he shouldn’t have asked.

I agree. If Perez Hilton was smart, he wouldn’t have even brought it up. I am offended at how butt-hurt he is over it.

The guys on the radio said that the main reason he gets a way with it is because he’s gay. The guy said that if your a female, black, disabled, or gay in this country you could get away with murder. He then said hat Perez Hilton should just be a gay, black, woman in a wheelchair.

I have never liked Perez Hilton, and I never will. I think that it is people like him, and his reaction to people who oppose his set of values that are keeping the voters from voting for same-sex marriage.

You usually don’t give a whiney little brat a candy when they’re talking back to you all of the time and spend much of the time being a little bitch.

So the real estate agent that we spoke to at the townhouse I showed you all, called me yesterday because he was able to find 4 more townhomes with the floor plan we liked. I meet with him on Friday at 1pm. Andrew is going to try to work a 1/2 day so that we can look together, and possibly decide on what bank to loan through (or credit union) so that we can potentially make an offer.

I just checked my credit score online, and it’s better than I thought. Not as good as it should be I admit. I paid on my two credit cards with balances on them, so that will help as well. My goal is to get them completely paid off and not use them – except for emergencies.

We need to decide on what bank to get pre-approved from, that way we can move as quickyly as possible until we’ve purchased one. Once we get pre-approved for the townhome we like, we then have to figure out what to do in response to our current lease where we’re living. In the past our landlord has told us he’s okay with us breaking lease as long as the house is showable to new potential renters. *crosses fingers to not have to pay a rent and a mortgage*
