The Waiting Game

Buying a home has taught me a lot about patience!
So far, I've had to wait...

To find just the right place.
To get just the right price for said place.
To lock in the mortgage rate at just the right time.
For the home inspection and appraisal.
For the seller to fix some stuff the inspector found.
For the underwriters to give the final o.k.

And I still have to wait for the closing.

And then to have the locks changed.
And the chimney cleaned.
And to paint?
And...

And finally, to move in.

I'm so excited about this new chapter in my life,
and I sort of want to shout, "I can't wait!"

But I know that I can. :-)
