Still trying to close

Yes. We're still trying to go to closing. We've heard everything from 'one more signature' to 'one more person' to 'there's a condition'. UGH! We're so far into this, we don't feel like we can walk away. Our original closing date was May 21st and you can see the date (June 14th) and we've still not closed. We have a packed moving truck in our driveway and boxes within the house. We're living on the bare essentials and not having fun.

Our landlord asked us to be out by June 15th, but I asked to be able to finish out the school year until June 20th to give us time to clean and get the carpets cleaned, as well. Now, it's like we won't even make that deadline!

We'll be living in our camper, or, at least, Fred will. My hope is to go to Florida for a significant amount of time while the house is getting renovated. My sister, at this point, has arranged for us to get into Disney for FREE on June 24th. That's 10 days and, with all the delays we've had so far, doesn't seem possible. I would like to start driving south by this Saturday, the 20th, but who knows. As of right now, movers come on Thursday, the 18th, and carpet cleaners on Friday. Hmm...wonder if we'll make it. Wonder if we'll have to postpone those dates, too.

BTW, the first offer that was written on this house was March 29th. It's been 2 1/2 months!!!
