Closing Time

We closed on the house in Granbury yesterday!! Let's just say that it was interesting. We showed up at about 2pm - the time we were supposed to close. It was obvious that somebody wasn't doing their job, and they weren't prepared with the correct paperwork. An hour later, we finally sit down and start going over all the paperwork...oh, but a lot of the paperwork is wrong - or somebody didn't go over the sales contract so that everything was organized as far as how much each person owes for what. At 4:30 we're still going over kinks in the closing, and at 4:45 we are finally in the car.
Mind you, we have both kids with us. All Bella has to do is a pen and an envelope to draw on, and her Tinkerbell doll to play with...and it's her naptime (2pm) and she wasn't really interested in lunch...so empty belly and tired. not a good combination. amazingly enough she was awesome! She didn't complain once - and listened and obeyed very well.
Balian ate as soon as we got there, so he was good for that...for the most part. He didn't take a nap, except maybe about 5 minutes, because he hasn't been sleeping in the carseat unless inside of a moving vehicle. :( But again, an amazing kid. He took a catnap in the car and held out for us until we got home :)
oh...and on the way home...Neil gets a call from the lady that did the closing...saying that she needed him to come up to the office and write another check. fabulous.

But, we have the house!
now, we get to rip the "grandma" out of it and make it our own! :)
