I'm a little stunned. Apparently we bought our house today.
We stopped at the Credit Union to check on our application, and ended up signing all the paperwork, taking half of it over to the lawyer's place, where he handed us a small check for the difference between the loan and the closing costs, and sent us on our way. We were still really confused, so I asked, "Okay, what do we do now?"
His answer was, "get insurance."
So we own the house! We're still not sure what the correct street address is. I'll have to check back on the paperwork. But we're in town for a few minutes, just getting more plaster to repair the walls, checking on bills and doing a load of laundry. Stephan had yesterday and today off. We're trying really hard to make the living room livable before we leave for Chicago next Tuesday night. There's a lot of sanding left, and a fair amount of painting, but Stephan has Thursday AND Friday off- so woo hoo!
Wow. We own a house. Crazy.

I found your blog while doing some research on the Internet on Plevna. I am enjoying your blog. On the off chance you haven't already read it. I suggest you get a copy of "Bad Land: An American Romance" by Jonothan Raban . It describes the settlement of southeastern Montana in the early 1900's. You are following in the footsteps of the folks discussed in Bad Land. Best regards.
Congrats home owners! Hope to see you while your in town!
Thanks, John, for checking us out! I'll have to Amazon.com that book. Our library here is really small. See you soon Melanie!
Congrats! Have fun in Chicago.
