Homeownership, Actually

It took 2 months, many lost papers, many irate calls from the real estate broker and much frustration, but Dynamo and I finally got clearance to close. Our mortgage was approved! Now, all we have to do is...well, I'm not really sure, but sometime next week we'll be signing documents until our hands hurt. That is, of course, contingent on the bank's attorney and the State of New York Mortgage Agency not losing any papers. Which isn't a given, given that one of the first questions was how to spell our names "since I can't locate the papers at the moment." Sigh.

Score! Now just imagine how much your hand'll hurt once we review the contract and you initial all the changes of your name to mine. Ouch!

And don't forget the high-fiving. LOTS of high-fiving.

If it's all the same, I'd prefer you kick Dynamo out of our house instead of me...

Our newest problem is we want to celebrate our mortgage coming through, but not pay for the dinner. Then, we'll also need to celebrate the closing. And the moving in start date. And the moving in end date.

Whatever happened to warm, friendly neighbors bringing over casseroles? You gotta get on that.
