hmm..

It is 3:22. Our closing is at 4:00 in a location that will take about fifteen minutes to get to.

I am home, waiting for my phone to ring.. because Robby, our loan officer, has yet to tell us exactly how much money we have to fork over today. We have an estimate from the night we applied for the mortgage, but no exact amount. He called at 1:45 to let us know that they were "working on it" right now and he'd call us as soon as he found something out.

Did I mention that this amount needs to be as a certified check, requiring a stop at our bank on the way there?

Yeah. Good times.

You may just want to go ahead and call Robby again; remind him of the closing time.

Good luck!

And once you sign those papers, go out for dinner and celebrate!

Thanks! M called. Does Hardee's count as going out to celebrate..?

I know what you're going through...We had a very similar time frame on closing day when we bought our house. It'll work out. And when it's all over, definitely go out and celebrate!

I can't help but think it's crazy that this is not information available well in advance, but it did work out, so I'm feeling better now. :)

I've got that song going through my head, "Closing time..."
