Boxes, boxes, boxes!!!

Well, we've done it! The house appraised in the amount we needed it to for our loan and we're pretty much set! We've been packing for over a week, and still have a bunch to pack and there are boxes ALL over our tiny little apartment, but we're getting there!

The sellers have dragged their feet in getting some repairs done, so we are finally getting the home inspection done tomorrow. I'm excited, nervous, happy, scared, and joyful all at the same time!

The cats don't seem to know what to think of all the boxes. Mitten, our deaf male white cat, seems to think it's his job to jump into all of the boxes that we bring in the house. He must inspect them before we can use them! haha!

I think overall we've done this as frugally as we've known how. If I did it all over again, I would have put a MUCH lower bid on the house to begin with, but that's old news now. You live you learn! We've found used appliances, except for the fridge, which we really wanted new. We shopped around for homeowner's insurance, and while we didn't go with the cheapest company, we did find one that was cheaper than most and our house will be very well protected with the coverage.

We will have to find ways to decorate very cheaply for right now. Our final costs will come next week at closing. The seller is taking care of the majority of closing costs, but we will be responsible for some of the costs. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, that it won't be much!!

Now, I just can't wait to move and get going!

My favorite frugal find this week is a website I just discovered, thanks to another thrifyfun.com reader/poster is www.paperbackswap.com you get books for free! Go check it out! I'm a book-a-holic, so I'm not sure why I've never found this site before, because I love books for a bargain! This is an awesome site! It will help you de-clutter your book collection and get new ones for free!

Have a great day!
