All right, so Jules is completely exhausted and asked me to give y’all an update on the sitch over here (that means “situation”).
Things were just going a little too smoothly, which I think everyone agrees with. We were supposed to close on our house in Utah last Monday – like, almost two weeks ago. The people buying the house were selling some stocks to pay for the house and were confident the money would come in time. Welp, they pulled the trigger on the sale a little late and now we’re stuck waiting for the funds to close on our new house. The good news is we learned yesterday that the money will for sure be wired directly from their brokerage firm to our title company on Tuesday; the title company is going to wire the money to us same day, and we’ll be closing Tuesday afternoon.
Needless to say, we’ve been going a little stir-crazy and Jules has been suffering from some anxiety. We’re so grateful to have family in town that is kind enough to open their homes to us–including Charly. That said, we just really want to get into our new home and settled back into our routine, including getting crackin’ on the projects. We go up to the house and look around at least once a day, and we get giddy just talking about everything we want to do.
We apologize for the lack of posts lately. We’ll probably be taking the next couple days off as well–until we close. Blogging is a favorite hobby of ours, and has turned into this awesome way to meet new people and share what’s happening with us. So as much as we try to stick to the posting schedule (and have been missing it!), sometimes the blog falls prey to higher priorities. That said, once we’re in the new house you can expect a bunch of content, comin’ atcha! And, fingers crossed, I’ll be back in the kitchen soon, whippin’ up some rockin’ food.
Peace out, internet friends. Have a great weekend.
[…] is our one year house-iversary! This day, one year ago, after our fair share of drama, we closed on this home. It was such an amazing feeling. It has been a year of growth in so many […]
Miss the blog posts. Hope all is well.
I hope everything is now on the smooth track again! I miss your posts!
Thinking about you guys today. Fingers crossed it all works out!
This is stressful business – we totally get it.
From the time our offer got accepted until the bank loan was approved and we made it to the closing table, it was over 2 months. We even had an attorney, but things are just nuts in the housing market. It was INSANE! Getting a mortgage is nothing like it used to be ;)
Rest up, lady (and family). Looking forward to what’s to come!
