I am signing off!!

Should be back by end of next week with updates and stories of the move. Not touching a computer until at least Tuesday.

Enjoy your long holiday weekend and think of me dealing with four or more men moving my heavy stuff. Pray nothing gets broken as we have already had two items victim to the move.

U-haul sucks!!

Well we reserved a 26' truck and were informed they do not a truck this large available to us Saturday to Sunday. So, now we are going to have to pick a 17' with a trailer attachment. Here's the kicker we have to pick up the Uhaul in Livermore and we live in Castro Valley. So, my Northern CA, bay area friends understand the distance it's between. However, for my out of town friends it's MapQuest distance is 26.3 miles.

Sucks huh!!! The gave us an extra 50 miles allowance, however I am still mad!!

Update

We did not get the keys in time for our wedding anniversary. There was a couple issues with the square footage on Tuesday and they could not do the loan documents. Apparently, the house is smaller by a couple square feet and the lending company could not complete the forms? Yesterday (Wed 8/27/08) we did the final walk-through and signed all the loan and title documents. The Escrow Officer informed us we would fund today (Thurs) and record in the local county late today (Thurs) or early tomorrow (Fri).

Well, guess what!!! We couldn't fund the loan today (Thurs) because the title co. collected the incorrect closing costs. At 3 pm..when we thought the process was just moving along, we were informed we weren't funded because of the Title Co. error. We had to run to the bank and Title co. before 5 pm today (Thurs).

Today I was informed by the Escrow Officer we will fund tomorrow (Fri)AM and record tomorrow (Fri)PM. Since it is a new house we can fund and record on the same day (according to the Escrow Officer). We have not been to happy about the ordeal lately and feel like we have been run through the ringer. However, this is part of the game, I surpose...

We are extremely tired from resting all day then running at 3 pm to the bank to get another cashier check and driving through traffic to Pleasanton, CA with the check.

Tomorrow should be the day!! CROSS YOUR FINGERS!!!
