well, for those of you who have purchased a home, you know how crazy you can be while in the process. So I thought I would just journal some emotions here, because I am a bit stir crazy at the moment!
Our move to Sandy is off, due to some poor decisions on Kris's families part, which is a really long story and I am just tired of it, so I am not going to write about it here. Anyway, being pre approved on our loan process, we decided to keep looking and find a home up here. Our loan officer has been a very very patient man, as has our real estate agent, which if any of you need a great agent to work with, boy, I have the gal for you!! Anyway, we found a fabulous home in Layton that we love. So we put an offer in on saturday and it was accepted. (the accepted it saturday afternoon...about an hour after we got it to them) Anyway, now we are just in the finalizing processes of our loan. Everything looks good right now..I am just waiting for the crazed frenzy from the underwriters that always happens. We haven gotten them proof of things they have needed (from trying to buy Kris's grandma's home) and now we wait, which is the worst part. So in the midst of all this we are moving out on the 23rd. I have no idea where yet, but I know something will work out. We can stay in the sandy house, we can stay with friends or family if we board our dogs (which, I dont know how they would handle that...zeus would cry ALOT) or we can stay in a motel. And then the questions of where do I register my kids for school...do I assume that everything will go well and that we will be in Layton and register them there? Or get them back into the schools here in Clearfield...HELP. So I am feeling alot of panicky thoughts! THose "what if" thoughts.If I knew we were closing and all was well, I would feel better. But we will know on our loan by the 29th of august.That gives me hope at least!
Well, that is it for now..Let me know how you have handled the stress of "what if" when you were buying a home!

I've never bought a home, but good luck! I'm so glad you guys found something closer up there so Kris doesn't have to commute so far to work! And I'm just glad you found somewhere to buy! yay!!

The home buying process is exciting as well as frustrating. We went back and forth a few times on our offer before we could move forward, and we were working with a deadline too. Things work out, so plan for the best, and good luck wuth your new neighborhood. I hope to see pictures soon!
Sorry, it's me again. I just read your "treasures" post. If you are still looking for someone to translate that letter, my unlce spoke Danish on his mission, he may be able to help you. Let me know!
OOOO, thanks carolanne. I will keep you posted on that!
We just got thru with the appraisal and inspection and both came back great, in fact the appraisal came in about 25,000$ higher than our purchase price !YEAH
