We're making progress on the purchase of our first home. There are still a lot of things that could go wrong, so we're trying not to get too ahead of ourselves. But, after two and half months of waiting, we're officially under contract. Now it's a matter of getting the appraisal and home inspection done, then waiting on the bank to finalize everything.
Even though the house isn't officially ours yet, and we don't have a closing date set in stone, we decided to get a head start on packing.
The plan is to pack up all of our non-essentials. Like picture frames, books, and winter clothes. We're hoping that by the time all of that is finished, we'll have heard back from our bank on a firm closing date, and move forward with packing everything else.
This home buying process has been stressful, but we're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I can't wait until we have the keys to our new home. Then I can share a lot more about everything we've learned throughout this process.
So, our weekend will be spent with cardboard, newspaper, tape, and sharpies. What will you be up to this weekend?
Congratulations! And good luck and have lots of fun packing!
