Settlement Day

We had a nice few days with Uncle Mike and Aunt Kathleen visiting, got to go out for mother's day, go to the Whitewater center, etc. They left yesterday and we got busy with the moving prep -- We sold the elliptical on craigslist since we're not taking it with us, bought office furniture at IKEA (strange place which Joel swears he is never setting foot in again), bought boxes, and did some grocery shopping. Today is Settlement Day, and I am still waiting to hear from the bank/ closing attorney because we've yet to review the settlement statement or be told what the exact dollar amount we need to bring to closing is. Closing is scheduled for noon, so I am hoping enlightenment on this topic will be forthcoming soon, so that I can go to the bank for the cashier's check. The current homeowner is not moving out until tomorrow - we gave him the extra day - and then wednesday through saturday a variety of people are scheduled for cleaning, painting, carpet installation, taking apart the play set and moving it 3 doors down.... Sunday is the Big Move, but we're hoping to have a lot of our stuff like dishes, clothes moved over before all the furniture gets moved. Will be sure to keep you updated!
