We're in

Ready for some fun? Well...here's what happened. A few years ago, the old owners of our home bought the land behind our house where the stream is. A little time thereafter, they almost lost the house to foreclosure, but the stream property didn't go with it. When we bought it, we didn't know it was two separate properties. So, when the previous owners called us to sell us the property, we bought it, and they signed the quik claim. All seemed well....until we took it to the county recorder and found out he signed his name wrong and they wouldn't take it. So we sent them a copy of the claim and were waiting for him to sign his name right.

Now comes the sale of our home. When we took the claim in to get the land in our name, they had to have a location to send the tax statements to, so the two properties were linked. When we sold our home, we intended to give the new owners the stream property, but figured we'd do it once the claim came through. Well, once they tried to sell our home, it couldn't record as the two parcels were tied together. So after that disaster was averted Friday, the last disaster came up (think of a scary old movie with the 'dun-dun-dun')...

Well...after all the push our realtor (Dane Newland - I recommend him for anyone and everyone, and he even has a huge enclosed trailer that you get to use to move) and the title company did to make it happen (for us to get keys), the sellers of our new home didn't get the info to our title company in time :( But, since the State's computers were down, and once they came up, all the info was processed, we sucessfully moved in the kitchen and electronics on Friday, and the rest Saturday.

If we hadn't received keys Friday, the new owners of our old home were able to move in Saturday @ 5 regardless of whether we could move in to the new place, so that would have been a huge disaster. Imagine storage, encroaching on others to sleep for two days, then getting people to help move on a Monday....ugh!!!

We've been truly blessed. We really appreciate all the help moving into our new place. The move only took 3 hours to move everything, and am hoping we can park in the garage soon (move all the boxes into storage downstairs, etc) :)
