We're in Escrow!

We're buying a house!  This has been a long process and I haven't been writing about it because we had to break our lease with our awesome landlords, one of whom reads this website.  We weren't sure if we could find a deal while interest rates were low, but we did.

We are set to close on November 24, just 18 days from now.  Every day we have a new emergency.  Last night our financing fell through and somehow we got a new loan by about 2pm today. 

I am in the middle of:

• Hiring a moving comany


• Buying boxes and supplies


• Buying homeowners insurance


• Securing the mortgage


• Finding new daycare for Sam


• Hiring a cleaning service


• Buying new carpet


• Hiring painters


• Helping our landlords to re-rent our current house


• My usual duties as CFO, CEO, zookeeper and mommy

I had to dig some pants out of the dirty laundry this morning.  Sam has watched 2 hours of TV today.  Food means McDonald's in the car and Halloween candy for snacks.

Blogging might be slow for a while.

But it will be worth it.

I think.
