My loan officer said I'm clear to close and that she will call the realtor to set up the closing date.  I'm almost there!  I'm proud of myself!  

I can't wait to get in and put on fresh coat of paint before I start moving all the boxes I have packed already.

Wow I really am going to be a home owner soon.  Last night I got a package from the mortgage company.   They need a few items to finish up.   My closing date should be next month!

I can't believe I'm actually going through with this! 

Four years ago I left everything including a horrible drunken abusive husband!  I left everything except some clothes and some other things I got out of the house before I left him. 

Now I am so much happier and healthier.  I used to be sick when it came time to go home.  I hated it there and him so much!   Now everyday is like sunshine and laughter! 

If anyone is in an abusive relationship it is so easy to start over.  Its just a little hard at first, but it is so worth it!

Let's see, Friday night was my father's 66th birthday.  My mom and Dad along with some of their friends had a little backyard bbq for them.  It was quite nice.  My dad is a great bbq'er!  Too bad he didn' t feel good and hardly ate, but by the next day he was much better.

Saturday I had to go to a memorial service my great-aunt who passed away, we also saw my up-north Grandma.  I feel so bad for her.  She can't hear anymore, doesn't really know why she is in the hosptial or where her stuff is.  But she still manages to laugh and have some fun every day regardless.  Actually right now she is in the hosptial, she also has an apartment in an assisted living facility. 

It was such a long drive and a long way that by the end of the day I was so glad just to be home and by myself. 

I walked around the complex last night where I bought my townhouse.  It was very quiet and nice and relaxing.   Everyone does their front areas so differently, it was good to look at for the all the ideas.  Since I won't be moving for at least a month I'll probably just plant some mums and kale for the fall/winter.  That looks nice all winter. 

Today my mom and I went to the grand opening of a new dollar store.  I got some Cover Girl  mascara, which I needed and was going to buy at Meijer for $4.00.  I saved me $3 - which is always so much fun for me.  I love being frugal now.  It did take awhile, but now it is almost automatic putting stuff back and telling myself I can find it cheaper.

I put in an offer on a townhouse and it was accepted.  The townhouse is getting appraised this afternoon.  After that it should only be a matter of a few weeks before I get my closing date. 

I was having a bad case of buyers remorse, but I called my realtor and made him take me back in there.  It is nice, and I got a great deal.  I need to update the painting and wallpaper, but luckily I don't have to do much more than painting and cleaning up the rugs.

Now I need to start organizing my move!  Any advice or ideas?
