Almost ours.....

I took a quick drive by of the house this morning before work. Only 5 more days until it is ours.

This has been an amazing process. Our realtor, Bonnie Donald-Peters, a cute, half-Korean, mom of two, PTA Fun Fair coordinator and bulldog real estate agent, has been so wonderful throughout this whole ordeal.

Yesterday, we found out there were about 5 things that the sellers and us agreed they would fix before closing that had not been done. Never fear future owners -- Bonnie is here !

She whipped their realtor into shape and I know she will make sure it all gets done. :) Of course with Bonnie that might mean she bring over the hammers and fixes it herself...lol.

We are also finally going to get the cable, Internet and phone arranged to today to be hooked up. The owners, for some reason, have not wanted to put it the cut-off order. But, thank again to Bonnie and their realtor Belinda, they will be doing that today.

We have the movers set up for Monday to move all Mike's stuff from storage over. We also have a contractor coming out to give us an estimate on some work we what to have done.

And next weekend we have our neighbor in Annandale, who also is a carpet guy, come out and take out all the old carpet so we can see the condition of the wood floors.

I am sure over the next year or two Mike and I will spend our weekends at Lowe's and Home Depot. :)
