...and those 11 days can't come faster.
Jeff and I are almost all packed up, save the necessary things like a set of dishes, our bathroom needs, our clothes, and our daily electronics (TVs, computer, alarm clock, etc.)
Tomorrow is the deadline for our loan acceptance letter, and Jeff is freaking out about why our loan lady hasn't submitted anything to our real estate agent yet. Jeff talked with our agent and asked, "Well, what if you don't get it tomorrow?" to which our agent replied, "You'd lose your house. [chuckles]" Jeff didn't ask why he chose to chuckle at the end (is it a joke, or is he worried too?) , and now it's racking Jeff with guilt and Jeff was two seconds away from calling the loan lady at home all night, since he works with a woman who is best friends with our loan lady.
I am usually the impatient and overreactive one, but when Jeff starts to freak out, I wonder why the hell I'm not freaked out, and then that gets me freaked out. While Jeff is peacefully slumbering, I'm going through the worst case scenario in my head (losing the house, having to cancel everything, we don't have a house to live in as of August 1, having to rechange addresses with the post office, cancelling/postponing the fridge order, etc.) Could we sue the bank for damages? Hmmm...
On a happier note, I've found a wonderful website, www.icovia.com, that has really cool decorating planning. It's like CAD for dummies. :) I've got all the colors picked out, now I just need to figure out what is arranged where and I think I've got a plan!! We had sooooo better get this house now. We're 99.98% there.

I feel your pain, Millie! When I bought my condo, the day of closing, I was sitting in the bank lobby, waiting for a call from the mortgage broker to tell me what the final number was. They were still crunching numbers!!! I was a wreck, but it all worked out in the end. Looking back, I wish many of the people involved with home buying realized it is the biggest investment we will ever make and timely information will certainly help smooth and already rocky process! Good luck - it'll all be worth it in the end! --Nilsa
