September 2010

I can't really recall what all actually happened in September, but I do know we were supposed to close on our new house the 15th- that obviously didn't happen. And it worked in our favor as we go the house for a cheaper price because the appraisal came back lower.

9/17/10 Patti and Maria came to help us get settled in our new place- oh wait we weren't in our new place yet so we played, packed and ate out a lot (since my kitchen was now packed) Maria had a free nights stay at Sunset Station so she used it one night and we let Claire go swim.She was in the water for about 1 1/2 hours and only got out because she was freezing.

We took Claire to the carousel (again) It's cheap entertainment and Claire loves it.

9/23/10 Debbie and the girls came a few days later to help us unpack some new boxes in our house- oh wait, we still aren't in the house! So we played, and they got to go see their grandparents that live here

9/24/10 My mom drove down to help with decorating the new house, oh wait- we STILL aren't in the house. So we did some packing, eating out, my mom sewed some things for the new place, and we went out to Bullhead to go see Dan's kids primary program. My mom also brought out the kids Christmas ornaments. We did sign papers this day (Friday) with hopes of being in our house by Tuesday or Wednesday.
Claire packed her own box and wrote her name on it... I did the A and R, she says those letters are too hard for her to do right now. She was so proud and wanted to know where that box was a t all times.
* 09/24/10 The house papers were supposed to be over-nighted to California. I even offered to drive the papers there myself. (the lady just laughed and said something like, "wow she really wants to get in that house huh?" ummm YES!)
We found out MONDAY afternoon that they had just went out! WHAT! There goes our chance of moving in the next day. We had movers scheduled for Tuesday (since all of our help had come and gone) which I had to cancel 3 times. So we had them come over at 2:00pm on Thursday afternoon in hopes of having the keys to the house by then. Fast forward... movers show up start loading the truck and we get a call saying; sorry your house hasn't funded yet you cannot get the keys today! WHAT!! Long story short, we had to take our stuff and drop it off at a storage unit and wait until the next day to see if we get our keys or not.
At this point we are kind of panicking and Jason's mom and Anthony drove to Vegas that night so they could be here the next morning to help move in. Jason's friend offered for us to stay the night at South Point, he had a free night that was expiring that day so it worked out great! We got up in the morning went and had breakfast at the M and waited and waited. We got the call at 1:57pm (deadline was 2:00pm/ 5:00pm eastern time) that we could come over and pick up the keys. (10/01/10)

- So sorry if this is not making sense, I was dreading having to blog about this because so much has happened, but I think I got the biggest points across. Stay tuned!
