The crazy day

Yesterday was an insane day. It seems like it was ages ago.

The frustrations were a generally grumpy baby because of bad naps and a higher than expected monthly payment because of tax mumbo-jumbo. We spent all of our extra cycles figuring out how to deal with the new finance situation and re-evaluating our loan and down payment.

The major stressor was our house inspection. Luckily, it went really well. Nothing major showed up, and the worst of the few minor things were some broken sprinkler heads.

The days after signing the contract had made the house smaller, darker, and smellier in my head. Getting to spend a few hours there really reassured me. It's a great house. I'm actually looking forward to being able to go back in a couple weeks to re-inspect the sprinklers. :)

Buying a house is a lot easier than I expected it to be. Sure, there's a lot of steps to take, but we've found some great people to help us along the way. It's all new to us, but not to them. They just tell us what to do next, and it all falls into place and moves along almost of its own accord.

I'm so, so happy with this house we found!
