House Update!

We were pre-approved 2 years ago when we started talking about buying a house. So, when we found our perfect house, it was really easy at the bank. The day after we made an offer, we went to the bank and Brad had some papers for us to sign to get the ball rolling. Conner happened to be with me, so Steve drew up a document for him to sign. He felt involved in purchasing the house.

Brad at the bank thought this was such a good idea, he is going to do this for all the kids that come to his office with their parents.

We closed on the house August 15th. When we showed up to closing without Conner, Brad from the bank, our Realtors, the closing company, and the seller were all disappointed. They thought Conner would be a part of the big day! They would have changed their tune after paper 17 of 100.

Conner did get to see the new house finally on closing day. We met the seller at 8:30 the morning of closing at the house. Conner got to go through the house, the barn, meet the animals, and explore the property. He was there when the turkey laid an egg. The Seller, Brad, let  him pick the egg and keep it. He was a little intimidated by the horse, but warmed right up to the turkey, rooster, and cats. He didn't know what to think of the Guineas. While we were there, Brad asked Conner that if he left Rooster and Turkey Girl and the Guineas, would Conner take care of them forever? Conner agreed.

Conner did not want to leave, but we had to make it to closing.

 

The last week has been crazy. In the last 7 days, I've been to Louisville twice shopping, Illinois once, 14 furniture stores (some duplicated), and hours of rug shopping. Buying a house was easy, filling it takes a little work.

 

We get possession on September 30th. The seller asked for 45 days instead of 30. He is just so nice, so we agreed! We are extremely excited and so is Conner.

 

Conner can sign his name when he wants too, but chose to sign in all O's.
Must have been nervous!
