We still haven’t gotten the keys to our new house.

We were set to close this past Tuesday but several last minute things came up that delayed us into this coming week.  My heart was set on last Tuesday. I was so ready to start loading boxes and organizing to the point that I didn’t sleep well at night because I had visions of kitchen dishes, room layouts, and shower curtains dancing in my head. Things had gone very smoothly from the time we found our house up until the day of closing, so I wasn’t emotionally prepared to have to put off my super house planning agenda.  But, Tuesday came and we got that dreaded call.  Wednesday we got another dreaded call, as well as Thursday and Friday.  At first I was angry, sad, and frustrated but now I’m numb to it. We literally rode an emotional roller coaster this week, with super highs thinking that “YES! We’re almost there!” to “No, not again…” several times. I’ve had to force myself not to expect certain things for fear of let down again. Our next goal to close is this coming Tuesday, but with the way things have gone this past week, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s even later.  If it’s not one thing on the paperwork side, it’s another thing with our own weekly schedule.  Will this ever happen?

It’s also lost it’s excitement. I’m hoping when we DO finally get to step foot in that office, sign our life away, and finally get those beloved keys the excitement will be back.

Me last week: WOO! We’re moving! (!!!!!!) Me this week: Oh, we’re maybe finally moving? Great…

Here’s to hoping that we’ll be official homeowners sooner rather than later. Until then, I’m holding onto my seat.
