My mama used to ask us, “Were you born in a barn?” every time we left the door open.
“No,” we would sheepishly answer.
“Then close the door, already” she would reply.
Close, already. This has been the plea since last Thursday. We were supposed to close on the 31 of March only to be delayed until 1 April. IZ, being IZ didn’t
want to close on April Fools Day and evidently the universe heard his
prayer because the loan finally funded TODAY. It’s not like there
was anything holding it up, either. Our lender kept telling us,
“Today”. Thursday passed. We called Title and they said the
same thing, “Today”. Friday passed. When Monday came we
thought for sure this was the day– and both the lender and the Title
agreed, TODAY. You see this coming, right? Monday passed.
Finally, TODAY has arrived.
It’s a little anti-climatic. We’ve had several unofficial
“celebrations,” every time spurned on by the assertion that “today was
the day.” Oh well, more champagne for me, I guess. But it
makes you wonder who involved in this process was born in a barn–It
wasn’t me, although my Mama might argue that point with you.
So, here it is. I wish the photo was better. This was taken
as the sun was setting and sadly, the photo on the MLS is no longer
available.
