Here we go, kiddies. Home inspection is done and we're going ahead on purchasing the house. The electrical needs to be updated (hi, Dad!) but the rest of the house is in good condition. Needs a ton of cosmetic work, but it's all doable. And I'm finally starting to feel more comfortable in the house - as we get closer and the work becomes more defined and I can start to visualize what it will look like - it's going to be great.
So the appraiser is going out this afternoon, and we should have that back by tomorrow morning. Justin and I met with our insurance agent last week and that's all taken care of (if anyone needs any kind of insurance, ask me for a reference; Chris is a great guy and I'm already super happy with him). Jim has been hammering out the details with the title company, and they are going to try to get everything put together by Wednesday, I think, so that we have some leeway to get everything done by closing on Friday.
It really comes down to this appraisal - as long as that comes back clean, we're good to go.
We're so close, it's kind of overwhelming. My moods are as rocky as the stock market (ha, I'm topical!) but I think overall it's going to be a very positive thing. I am really looking forward to setting up house and settling down a bit. To having my own office space, and still plenty of room to have people over. To new girlie nights and game nights and parties. I'm finally letting myself mentally move in and...it's going to be spectacular. Can't wait for you all to see it.

All I want to know is which room is being painted pink and when do I show up with wine?
I'm so very stoked for you!
No pink, though I think my workroom will be red. And I think the real question is "when do you *not* show up with wine?"
I'm hoping to start having girlie nights at my place starting in November. Ooh, maybe we could have people over to watch the election results come in!
