Last Night

This is it! Our last night in the old house. We're still, however, in a state of limbo. We negotiated with the seller to move our stuff into the new house tomorrow (our original closing date), but cannot move ourselves in yet. The bank is going to pay for us to stay in a hotel for the next week until we actually close. The new closing date has still not been set, but it will probably be Friday, October 7, a week from tomorrow.

Today on our lunch break, Jason and I went to the new house to meet our agent for the final walk-through and to get the key so we can move our belongings in tomorrow. The visit was bittersweet. If all had gone as planned with the bank, today's walk-through would have been very exciting, knowing that we'd be living in our dream house the very next day. However, in real life, I'm still longing for the house, and it still feels out of reach. I still have a hard time believing we're ever going to live there.

Either way, the movers are arriving tomorrow morning at 8am and we will be fully moved out of this house by tomorrow afternoon. Tonight we packed. While I packed up the rest of the kitchen, Otto packed up himself.


My mom and sisters came over to help make dinner and keep Otto busy so Jason and I could pack. Otto lives and breathes for his aunties.


The next week is going to be a big adventure.  We'll be staying at a hotel with suite-style rooms, so hopefully we won't go too stir crazy. There will also be a pool and a morning breakfast buffet. Big score.  I'm going to try my hardest to keep my inner control freak at bay and just ride out the uncertainty of the week.
