Final Walk Through and Clear to Close!

We had our final walk through with the builder yesterday!  Everything went amazingly well!  We were extremely pleased with the thoroughness of the builder and it confirmed everything that we had heard about him.  We also got our clear to close and we have scheduled our closing for March 30th!  We can't wait!!!

Appliances!!!!!!!

So we've been looking at appliances for the last few weeks, trying to make a decision about what we want.  We have also been looking at different sales across town.  Sears this weekend was having a 20% off all Kenmore appliances sale, plus on Sunday they were having a Family and Friends event where you get an additional 15% off.  We figured this was probably going to be the best offer we were going to find, and we were very excited about many of the Kenmore appliances, so we decided to go for it.  Here is what we purchased!

Kenmore Elite Stainless Steel 30" Free Standing Gas Range



Kenmore Elite Stainless Steel 26.5 cu.ft. Side by Side Refrigerator


Whirlpool White 4.3 cu.ft. Capacity Top-Load Washer 

Whirlpool White 7.4 Cu.ft Capacity Gas Dryer

All of the appliances got great reviews and we are confident in our choices!  I hope we like them as much as we think we will!

Things are moving forward!

So we have had a busy week this week.  We had the appraisal come in and we're happy to report that it came in higher than we were expecting!  We also have had our conditional approval come through and we are just working on getting the final paperwork in.  We even got to walk through the house again with our realtor and Landon's parents!  I took a ton of pictures!  Here are some of my favorites!
Font of house!
Kitchen! (and Landon measuring to see if we could put a microwave above the stove... we decided not too...)

View from the Kitchen into the Familyroom (through the "nook")
The window seat in the Livingroom!
Master Bedroom
Guest Bathroom (the cabinets and countertops in all of the bathrooms match the kitchen)

A close up of the front! I love it, but it needs some landscaping!
We are within two weeks of closing.  We still don't have the date set yet, but we're thinking it will be sometime between the 24th and the 31st of March!  I can't wait to be in the house!

The sign says SOLD!

We snuck a picture in a snow storm a few days ago!

House Update!

So things have been moving forward.  They're moving slowly, but at least they are moving forward....

We are having some problems with our new address.  Since the house we're buying is a new build and is on a new road (a small court).  The road has to be registered with the township, which in turn has to be registered with the USPS.  Apparently something happened in chain of command and none of the addresses on our Court were registered with USPS.  It's tough to get an appraisal, a inspection and a mortgage without an address that is registered with USPS.  So... we're still waiting...  But they keep telling us that things should be taken care of any day, and it shouldn't really delay us much...

We're looking at closing between the end of March and early April!  I can't wait now!
