House News

We found out last week that we have been approved for our first underwriting process. There is one issue that our AWESOME realtor is working on in reference to the sewer system. Nothing is wrong with it but the FHA underwriter would like for the sellers to hook into the city sewer line. At this point we are thinking it wont happen due to money and also not line is available so the city would have to agree to take on the project of doing this expensive process. Like I said, our realtor is working on it.

We got another great peice of news today!! The State Housing Underwriting was approved!!! WAHOOOOO!!! So we are in a good spot and just waiting on the sewer info. So excited!!!

My next step is to determine who to go with for Home Owners Insurance.....that will be done this week!!! :O)

and the process goes on...

We have been BUSY!!!

This month if FLYING by and we have definitely been super busy. We have been to Lancaster the first two weekends of the month working on getting Robs moms house packed up and ready to go for her to move to Orangeburg with us. On the first weekend, we had a yard sale and it was HOT HOT HOT but we needed to get it done. Lots was sold but there was still a TON more to get packed up and ready to move. We went back this past weekend on Saturday. We headed up the Lancaster at 6am, picked up the U-Haul at 9am and then started packing at 10am. We had 6 to 8 people helping pack up the four bedroom/three bathroom home. We finished packing around 4pm and headed down the road to St Matthews to put in in a storage unit. It was a LARGE load and the HUGE truck was filled to the gills. Rob drove the truck and of course I followed him to make sure we got back safely. My parents helped with the process too, they are awesome!!!! We got to St. Matthews to the storage unit where David and Will met us to help unload. I love having friends who don't mind helping us out!! After unpacking at the unit and then the Allens house we all went out to eat Dukes BBQ....YUM!! We finally sat down on our booties at home around 8pm. It was a LONG day but it was a good day and we got lots completed. Now we just need Robs moms closing to be completed next Friday and she will be resident of Orangeburg County!!! YAY!!!! 


Moving, Moving, Moving....

Hubby & Wifey Day

So I was off today due to Confederate Memorial Day and Rob took off so we could get some things completed. We went to Columbia and just had a great day. We dropped some things off at Goodwill before hearing to look at furniture. We went to Ashley Furniture and we decided we would just look around and see what they had. We saw LOTS of beautiful furniture. We found a sofa, love seat, and recliner that we LOVED. It is brown durablend leather and it ALL reclines so we are excited about that. We hope to purchase soon but after our closing. We also found the table and chairs for our dining room. There is also a bench that comes with it. We are super excited to finally have our first home and begin building our family together. :O) 

We ate lunch at The British Bulldog Pub. One, Rob loved the name b/c that is an old wrestlers name, and #2 Rob loves bar food :O) It was yummy!! We then walked to a few shops before heading to the movies.

We went to see Avengers!!! Yes it was a great movie and I really enjoyed watching it. Rob loves this stuff and I have to say this movie was worth the money. 

After the movie we headed our for some ice-cream to round out the day. It was prefect and much needed us time!! 

I love out date days!!
