Finally Moved In!

Wowweee! What a week this has been! We are finally moved into our new house. Hooray!
My husband and I had the home purchase planned out. We started looking at houses in the spring. We made our final decision in the summer months, made our offer, and were under contract. We were going to close on the house some time between July 31 and August 15. That would give us plenty of time to move into the house, get settled, get the kids enrolled in school, and get fairly unpacked before school started.
Unfortunately, sometimes things don’t go as planned. Due to the recent enormous amount of foreclosures there are new rules in place in the home buying process. It is now taking 60-90 days to close on a house. We were told August 15, then August 21, and then August 25. We closed on the house after school started. This put a major wrench into our plans. We had to cancel our weekend moving volunteers that we had in place. Although we had several volunteers, it was a major pain to move after school started. We had to keep with the weekly homework and bedtime routine and I had to be home each day when the kids got off the bus.
We’re in our home now and loving it. My garage is filled with boxes, but I’m thankful that I have a garage for the boxes rather than them being all over the house. My time online has been very sporatic but now I’m catching up and trying to get back on schedule and back to writing.
How are things your way?
