Closing time?

I'm a wreck! This has been one of the most trying situations I have had to go through! Many of you know this, but in summary:

I got a new job across the state in may of 2006. We put our house on the market in June of 2006 and had to move up to the new job in July of 2006. We had to rent an apartment and move some of our stuff, but most of it (including the bed, couches, etc.) stayed in the old house. My job was going to pay for the move, but we couldn't afford a rent, a mortgage, and a storage unit, so we were going to wait until we sold the house to move everything.

We got a dank and dirty apartment in a bad part of town because the rent was cheap and they allowed us to have our three dogs and cat for a $100 deposit total. Not having a back yard to let the dogs run around in has been very difficult as they are NOT good dogs on the leash! So we made do, thinking this was only temporary.

We had someone in September who wanted to buy the house, we found a new house up in the new city, and everything was going fine until the home inspection revealed some work needed to be done to the house and the buyer ran off.

So now, at the end of July 2007 we might actually sell our house! The house has been moved into a storage unit, the futon has been replaced by our real bed, there is an upright string bass in the hallway of our apartment and a kayak in the bedroom.

I am sitting here waiting for the UPS man to drop off the closing documents for us to sign. Then we mail them overnight to the title agency and the closing is scheduled for tomorrow.

This might actually be coming to an end soon, but I am still waiting for the fat lady to start singing...
