All the paper work was sent in today for our mortgage application and we found out the appraisal is happening this week. So if things go well we should know by Friday what the house appraises for. Cross you fingers! I've heard some horror stories from other friends that are buying/building this year about really low appraisals. The worst one being my friend John who is building a brand new house that appraised for less then it cost him to build it! So ridiculous. The close date is set for July 31st at 3pm.
Now the next decision to make is when to move. The problem with this decision is we are helping my mom out by driving up to our cabin with her the weekend after we close on the house. The reason she wants us to do this is so we can drive the car back by ourselves and she can ride home with dad when he comes back. Driving 11 hours by yourself sucks. The following weekend is Danielle's bridal shower, the weekend after that I work, so that takes us already to the 4th weekend in August. We don't really want to wait 4 weeks to move. . . .how can you resist such a beautiful house! So it's looking like we may try and move the day after we close, and leave for Minnesota the next day. . . oye.
Eye update: I'm on another 10 days of antibiotic eye drops for my stupid eyes. It's been almost 4 weeks now I've been dealing with this. I'm really at the end of my rope. I keep thinking with the luck I've been having when I get my 300 dollar brand new pair of contacts my vision will have changed and I won't be able to see out of them (if the infection ever goes away that is). It's hard not to be a little pessimistic at this point. I want new eyes for my birthday.
