Well, it has been awhile since I've ranted about my house being built and all that. We've been very excited recently, because they put the final touches in, and got our Certificate of Occupancy today!
We were allowed to move our washer and dryer in last night, and they told us they're going to begin the closing process. So why am I complaining?
I also just found out that Rob's dad, who had to be a co-signer on our loan (due to Rob's job not being "established" and me making a mere $100 a month less than needed), is going to leave for Louisiana for TWO weeks straight on either Sunday or Tuesday. (He travels for work). If that is the case, it means he won't be back until somewhere between Jan 31 and Feb 2. Our 1st wedding anniversary is Feb 5. I had already told myself that I would NOT spend the first married year together living with my in-laws. Obviously I lied to myself.
I've been so happy thinking that we were really going to be in the house by next weekend or sometime in the next two weeks. We'd be pretty settled in by our anniversary, and could celebrate it in our new home. But now it is cutting very very close. I emailed the guy handling the financial side of things, to see if maybe the FIL can sign some papers ahead of time, or if someone can be made to have power of attorney and sign. (My dad signed for my mom at closing on their house in NC because she was still in NJ at the time). I'm going to bet the FIL wont want to give anyone POA if that is the only option other than waiting.
I guess I'm just a wee bit upset. I've already told Rob that I refuse to spend our anniversary in that house, and I will be renting either a week at the extended stay hotel nearby where he works (we stayed there last year after our wedding, a gift from my parents) or if I only need it for 1-2 days, a room at the beach again. He got irritated with me being irritated, but he always has the "oh well" attitude about all of this, it seems. I haven't been completely happy living where I'm living for awhile now, but I've stuck it out to save money for our house, and because I knew that he'd be upset living in an apartment somewhere (sees it as wasting money).
Just needed to vent. Blargh. I hope it all works out.
