Over the past few weeks, we have been busily making plans since accepting our offer.  We have been looking at rentals and trying to make plans about where we go next and what we do next.  All of those plans have been tentative, at best, since we were waiting for the home inspection, the appraisal and other reports to come in on our current house.

We have finished the home inspection, which as we expected, turned up only a few minor items.  Many of those items are repaired already and all of those should be addressed by end of next week.

The appraiser has been onsite, and we have not heard anything from the buyer’s side, so we assume that all is well with the appraisal.

So, that brings us to new plans.  We have located a rental thanks to a co-worker at HTC and  we are looking to taking possession of it around first of next month and begin the moving process.

Now, all that we see left is just setting the closing date, which we hope will be sooner than later.  Jen and I are ready to begin plans on our new chapter in life and get things rolling with a builder and bank.  We are shopping for a financing package, and those are seemingly difficult in today’s economy.  So, with each hurdle we clear, new ones form on the horizon.  This is going to be a long process, I’m sure, but I think we are up to the challenge.
