Closing Monday

It sounds like we are going to close on both our homes on Monday afternoon. On Monday of this week someone came to survey this property. Ed keeps calling to tell us that things look good for a Monday closing. We scheduled our buyer's walk through for Sunday afternoon. Today we scheduled our walk through, also for Sunday afternoon.

Too bad Chuck and I are in denial that we are moving! Seriously, after what happened last week we are both kind of like, "Sure, whatever." Don't get me wrong, we don't have bad attitudes about it. We are just really careful about getting all excited again. It's all very anticlimatic. Maybe we will get excited once the papers are all signed. That's after we throw up from being shown how much we will really pay for the house once we pay 30 years of interest!

Today I scrubbed the stove and fridge. Why is it that my appliances were never this clean for us? We've lived here 3 1/2 years, and I've only self cleaned the oven once. It is sparkling now. The fridge was downright gross when I pulled the drawers out. How on earth does cat hair get under the drawers of my fridge? Sick!

So, the plan is to close on both houses on Monday and rent this one back through Friday. We will slowly begin moving things over Monday night through Wednesday. Tuesday or Wednesday will be a cleaning frenzy at the new place. Thursday the packers come to pack up all our crap. Friday they move the stuff from here to there. Friday afternoon we hand over the keys and say goodbye to our first home. Sniff.
