So , the house closed today, we’ve got the keys, and the seller has left the building. I think that we’re finally at the point where we’re sure that this thing is going through.

This has been a nerve wracking time to be in the home buying process — daily news of some segment of the mortgage industry imploding in on itself tends to make one think that your lender may actually be a black hole if you look closely enough. But, it did fund. Our lender is still in business. And now that we do have the house, we just bought into a very uncertain market.

On the other hand, we could very well be in this house for a long long time. It’s got character, land, and an office. And blackberries and a pond. And a pretty spacious kitchen. And. And. And. And squirrel portraits on the walls.
