Every cloud has a silver lining... As you know, our closing got delayed by one day. Boo right?  We thought so too.  The upside however, is that because of that ONE seemingly insignificant day, our first mortgage payment has now been delayed by ONE MONTH! Woo hoo!!! I guess it's true what they say - everything happens for a reason.  :-)

Well today was closing day.  Sort of.  At least it was supposed to be.  As it turns out, however there was an error in the mortgage paperwork that caused a delay in the final release of funds between the bank and our lawyer's office.  Despite everyone's feverish attempts to rectify things, ultimately the clock just ran out before the issue could be resolved.

We know it's been a little while since we blogged and you're probably as excited to see the plans for the Dreamhouse as we are....well maybe not quite AS excited as us, but still. Its been a busy month full of settling in with the parents, budgets, drawings, quote gathering & securing finances; all while balancing the day to day of work and raising a 3 year old. Oh yea - and we managed to throw in a couple of trips and celebrating 4 years of marriage.
