Yes!

9538 Black Mountain DriveYou may notice that I have changed the name of the moon. That means I will be driving out to Colorado next week for closing on our new home, 9358 Black Mountain Drive. Valerie, our mortgage consultant, called me about a half an hour ago and said the underwriter told her the loan would be approved! That’s one end of this process wrapped up. Now all we have to do is move, then sell this house.

Wow. Still trying to take it in. It was the result we hoped for, even expected, but until confirmed, anxiety. The rest of it feels down hill from here. The months of preparation mean we will easily meet a moving date in December or early January. Our stuff has been decluttered, our work on this house will move forward after we’ve emptied it and we can settle into our new place before the heavy Colorado snows of March and April.

Now the fence becomes the next highest priority, since without it, we can’t move the dogs. I’ll just keep calling until I find the right person.

I feel lighter, much lighter. We can focus on building that new life, a mountain life and a family life. Can’t think of a better way to spend the third-phase. Yippee.

BTW: Good job, Kate. Our scout.
