Slowly, But Surely

Sooo, we were supposed to close on our new home this past Friday. Well, it didn't happen. The appraiser had to amend his paperwork for the comps in the area, and then send it back to the VA. They have sent the appraisal back in today, and I truly hope and pray that everything is right and we can close this week. It has been such a pain to close on this place, and I don't know if I just don't remember closing on the house in Dahlonega, but I don't remember it being this much of a headache. We need to close soon, too, because we have to be out of our house by Thursday! Luckily we have everything packed up except for our closet and the bathrooms. Boy, do we know how to pack up a house quick-- we just started on Saturday! We need to buy 7 more large boxes, but other than that, we have3 been able to use all the boxes we had left over from the move from Dahlonega. And, my wondermous husband has already taken all the items from the basement and garage! Isn't he wonderful!?  I think so.  I also think that Caylen thinks we are nomads, though.... She just rolls with the changes though! Gettin off subject a little, she has been the most delightful child here lately. Not that she is not usually a delight, but I am telling you, she makes every second spent with her a pure pleasure! I don't even want for her to go to bed at night anymore-- I just want to spend more time with her! But, believe me, she still makes it a priority for her bedtime to be before 8. :) Anyway, back to the moving talk, and it is hard for me to write all this through gritted teeth, but it has been a pain! Packing hasn't been bad, but I know after we pack we have to move it over there and then unpack it when we finally move... so on and so forth. I am not really dreading the unpacking so much, I just want to get in our house! The VA is apparently 'cracking down' on loans and they must have every 't' crossed and every 'i' dotted. For real! Anyway, I don't want to complain-- I just want to get this mess over with! I know that this is God's plan and He will work it out for us, and I just must remember to give it to Him and let him do His thing. Hard to do though! Hopefully by our next post we will be in our new house, getting settled in a place we will live forever!

Oh, and I have to say, my father in law is coming to visit this weekend *fingers crossed* so I am really excited to see him and for him to see how big his 'pea girl' has gotten!
