Getting Closer to Closing...

Just wanted to update everyone that we got our C/O clearance...Horray.... I can finally sleep again! Our settlement date is scheduled for next Friday at 2pm and then we will be home free. Until our journey begins again on August 31st in our new home. We are so excited and can't wait to start the next phase of our life together in South Harrison, Mullica Hill. The kids won't know what to do with themselves and I won't have enough time in the day to clean and get things organized. It will be a slow start to a wonderful and absolutely beautiful new home. Everything on the new house is going well and we got all the results from the septic and well testing and it is all good. Now just starting to look at furniture and trying to decide how to decorate. We have our movers coming next Thursday morning and will be moving everything into the house so we will get to see it once again. Getting ready for yet another busy weekend of packing and organization so that the unpacking goes smoothly. The trash pickers are probably having a ball getting fun things to re sell. Figured I would finally post a picture of the new house, now that I have my C/O and feel confident that through the power of prayer everything is finally coming together. The kids can't wait to run around and get lost in the trees and I can't wait to finally have my own bed without being kicked in the side by my little man and I'm sure Don is just as excited to be kicked by me since Connor takes all the kicking from me right now. Don has a big day ahead of him tomorrow as it is his first real Payday in sixteen years..a very long time coming. We are so happy for him and so glad that he is getting through his first two weeks being trialed with everything and anything that can happen to you during your first few days at a new job. Higher powers definitely leads to higher anxiety and stress, but we all know that he is an excellent doctor and I never have a doubt that he doesn't do his best at his job and makes all the right decisions and I'm sure all of his patients feel the same way too. He is getting a lot of consults and referrals from with in the hospital which means that he is really thought highly about and trusted. They told him the other day that they don't think they have ever hired a Doctor that the entire house staff absolutely loves...must be something special that comes out of his humor at work. He always finds a way to make somebody smile or laugh. I definietly know this is true just by the way he talks to his patients on the phone at home with such a sincerity in his voice. Just wish I had more help with the packing, but I guess I should be happy that I am doing it all because I'm sure if I weren't then when I went to open a box it would be filled with things from every room piled together. So I just look to HOPE that by Thursday it will all be neatly stacked in the new house just screaming to be put into a special place to never be packed again.
