There is a light at the end of the home buying tunnel! The Friday before Thanksgiving we met with a mobile notary at her "home office". This was actually her dirty, sticky kitchen table but minor detail... We signed an entire ream of paper which amounted to all the documentation you would sign at a closing table in Indiana.
The next day we Fed Ex'd our money for closing costs/down payment to the title company. On Wednesday the bank made a required repair for the loan conditions. They replaced a very (apparently) expensive garage door opener button in the garage. On Friday an appraiser came out to re-inspect and make sure the repair had really been made. We waited on pins and needles all weekend to get a closing date because our realtor said everything on our part was done. In fact, they don't have a formal "closing" in CA, instead the closing just means that the loan has funded, the purchase has been recorded, and we get to take possession.
Today we got the news that we will take possession of our new home TOMORROW!! Our furniture won't be delivered until Friday so we will be living it up at the hotel for a few more days but it is still very exciting that we will be homeowners again by tomorrow!!
