I feel a bit like I have lost my connection with reality lately. It isn't that real life has stopped staring me in the face, reminding me constantly of the ebb and flow of life, I have just felt a disconnect. Most of this has been from the ever changing situation with my house, but also my wonderful weekend (actually escaping reality) that I have yet to mentally come home from (more to come on that...)
The bank accepting my offer send my life into a bit of a whirl wind. My life span seemed to have shorten to only 30 days. The number of days I had to get everything in order for my mortgage, which if you have ANY idea what that involves, you can imagine the stress. I have had days with no hope of anything working out, constantly bugging the many wonderful and amazing people helping me, and small glimmers of hope. Everyday seems to provide a new challenge and something more to deal with. Who ever know getting a mortgage was so much hard work?
Sunny skies are just on the horizon in this little adventure. The clouds decided to break earlier this week and things are finally coming into place. After some drama (which is a too much to explain) I finally heard back from the mortgage company and got a "conditioned approval," which just means I am approved as long as I meet the 24 conditions they set on the loan. Yes, 24! Luckily, none of them have proven to be too difficult to meet and I have gotten everything I have needed back to them.
With this all finally in place, things are moving forward to close on my house on July 8th! That is less that two weeks away! Now that the dust has settled, I have allowed myself to finally get excited and realize this is actually going to happen! It has been a long, bumpy road but it is so nice to see the end in sight. 12 more days and I will be a proud home owner!
Thank you to all of you who have been my sounding boards, cheerleaders, support system, and endless sources of knowledge and encouragement. I have been extremely blessed to have so many great people working for me and making this all happen.

I am doing the happy dance all by myself in my family room because I'm so FREAKING excited for you!!! I knew things would work out if they were meant to be. I'm sad that I'll soon be losing the best black bookshelf and some fabulous wire baskets, but I'm happy to know they'll be going to such a fabulous new home. What?! A home! You're going to be freaking home owner. Wow! That is so wild/exciting/fun/weird/grown-up and on and on.
So excited for you. And just love you to pieces.
Oh my goodness Jill! This is GREAT news! I'm with Jamie - how crazy is it to think you're going to be a home owner?! I'm so glad it has all worked out for you.
Very, very exciting. It will be so fun to have your own house and I am glad things have finally worked out. Still very sad that you are leaving us, but I am excited for what is in store for you!
Okay this is AMAZING! Congratulations Jill! Where is it located?
I am so excited for you. It has been such a long road. I am glad that things are working out and that you will soon be a home owner. I am sure your current tentants are so sad. You have been such a good basement resident.
That is SO awesome!! I'm so impressed with you getting everything done! None of it is easy. I can't wait to see your new place--and by new place I mean that new place that you OWN!!!!
