Yesterday we received our "30 day to close" notice. Obviously we wont actually be closing in 30 days, because of the USDA loan stipulation that it has to have a 100% completion appraisal, but this does mean that we will be ready for that appraisal in about 3 weeks. Add on another 15 days to get the approval from the USDA underwriter and we should be closing sometime during the week of March 5! Woohoo. I have also talked JR into letting us stay at the house until the very last day (Feb.29), so that means we shouldn't be at my parents for more than 2 weeks. YAY! Monday, I am going to start the boxing/throwing away process. I figure if I give myself 4 weeks to pack up the house, I can go slowly and be more organized!
Last night we went over to New Braunfels to eat dinner with Dana and her boyfriend Edgar. It was really nice to hang out, it's been forever since I have seen Dana. We have made a plan that once we get into the new house we are going to try and do dinner once a week at each other's house. She made some amazing chicken enchiladas...MMMM! Yummy!
I am hoping to get together with my parents tomorrow night for dinner...hopefully Vanessa will be able to meet up with us as well.
I have been glued to pinterest this last week. I think JR and I have settled on doing a red, white, and blue theme for the house. I have so many projects that I need to get started on for the house. I am hoping I can do about two a week...we will see. It may be hard to do that and packing and cleaning and be a wife, mother, and cook! I guess we will see how it works out. I had found some really cute nautical stuff - but JR wasn't too impressed, soooo Red, white, blue, patriotic, and Texas is the theme...I just hope I can get it all looking right and that I will have enough stuff to make a good start on decorating the house, and accumulate a little more over time. As I go through the house though I realize more and more every day more and more stuff we need. New towels, new comforter and sheets for each bed, new pillows, more towels, new dishes, napkins, I would like to get a nicer set of silverware...oh the list just keeps growing!
The week is almost over! I am ready for each week to go by just as quickly as this one has! We are about 6 weeks away from closing...YAY!
