Friday September 23

So today did not go as planned.

Today was the day we got to sign and close on the new house.

We did that.

We went and signed.

We loaded up the uhaul and trailer.

Then we found out about a hiccup.

While we were signing documents, the title company lady had a question about the road maintenance document.

It was a document that was made 20 years ago that was an agreement between all those who live on Mary Lane that they would all share the cost of taking care of the private lane.

She wanted to make sure that the paper was correct and all we needed to do was write that we agreed to it, and sign and date it.

She was told that was all that was needed.

Well, come to find out, the bank wanted a whole new document drawn up, and each person to sign it before we could close on the house.

Well, that is just RIDICULOUS!!!!!!

And our bank guy that we have been working with agrees that it was ridiculous....as well as our Realtor.

So our bank guy said there was just some more papers that needed to be signed and it would all be okay.

Well, our realtor had to run the documents to me so I could sign them, and Brent, who was ready to unload the Uhaul, left to meet at the title company to sign his stuff.

All was done and ready to go.....EXCEPT that....now it was the end of the business day.

And since it is now the weekend, the money will not fund until Monday, so that means no keys to the new place until Monday.

Um.......we have to be out of here on Monday.

It is all a bummer.

But you know what.....we went out there later today and hung out and spent time out there.

And man, it is SO worth all the trouble.

We just want to be out there!!!!!!

We ate some pizza, did some buffalo hunting, and just hung out with friends.

It is so wonderful out there.

I also have to give a HUGE thanks to our wonderful friends who helped us out so much today!

Jenni, who took Porter and Elsie the WHOLE day so we could sign papers and pack stuff up.

Drew and Heather for their huge help with loading/unloading stuff up and cleaning out more stuff.
For Steve, for helping to load up and unload.....glad that Pat got her free time :)

And Brad for helping out when we started unloading.

We have the greatest friends in the world!!!

So today did not go perfectly......but it will work out soon.

Soon.
