House Update

March 5th, 2015 at 03:37 am

So the buyers went in to sign today and it turns out there was one paper that the bank did not have there when Chris and I signed before he left for Alaska. So for a couple of hours I had thought it would be done today, but then this paper cropped up so it won't be. They emailed it to DH and he signed it in front of the notary up there, and I have to go down and sign it in the morning, since I didn't even find this out until an hour ago and the place was closed.

But hopefully after signing that paper tomorrow it means they actually will close this week and I'll have the money in the bank soon. Because honestly, until that money is actually in my bank account, I still don't believe anything is a done deal. We gave the keys to the realtor today, though. So I'm finding it just a little harder to remain cynical on this deal than previously. I still feel like Murphy is going to come out of left field and smack me upside the head, you know?

Yet, at the same time I want to be hopeful. Because when this goes through we can stop holding our breath and waiting for the other shoe to drop. We can finally move out of the holding pattern we've been in for the past few years.

    I'm exactly like that, I refuse to count the money until its in my hand.
    You just never know.
    When we got our first big check ever I didn't believe it until I logged in and saw the money in the bank.
    I constantly expected something to pop up last minute and take it from us.

    Understandable, but I think if you made it this far your chances of it becoming a done deal are pretty high!

    DP--I'm probably going to be sitting there tomorrow wearing out the keyboard checking on my account until that money is in there. Won't believe it's truly done until I see it with my own eyes.

    CCF--Yeah, probably. Just everything went so wrong the first time. I want to believe, I just am afraid to.
