Finally, It's happened to me...

IT has been weeks-WEEKS since I thought that the house buying process was almost done. I was so wrong. FInally, today, 29 days after signing my buy/sell agreement, I have signed the papers. Now they need to be filed with the county and the mortgage funds need to get to the seller and I will be the proud owner of a large mortgage. Actual ownership of the house comes 5 years down the line when some equity builds.

I was able to get in it though and measure and look around. Tomorrow, I'll clean.

As I was leaving tonight at almost dusk, I did drive by a yard full of cholos. I have never been there after dark. On a Friday. This could be a mistake. Those boys are up to no good too much of the time. And they are the 20-something variety, not the 15-somethings. The kids I can deal with, the adults are kind of scary for me.

Guess I need to start packing now. Yuck.

Congratulations!

I'm sure it's not a mistake. I don't know you but it seems like you did your homework and picked a nice place.

Get yourself packed and moved. Then work hard to make your new house a home. Add some touches that make it uniquely your own.

Enjoy!
