So at the first of July, Matt and I flew out to Indy to look for a house to buy. We were out here for 2 days and were blessed to find a house that we love. It is a brand new home. 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, 1800 sqft, fenced yard. We made an offer, they countered, but we finally settled on a lovely little price tag of $125K. The real estate market is awesome out here! So different from B-town. My dad agreed to cosign since Matt is spending all our money learning how to be a legalized drug dealer. After spending hours and hours filling out all the paper work for the mortgage company we scheduled to close on Aug. 20th. Besides the run around everything was going quite smoothly...until about 100 miles (and 12 hrs before closing) outside of Indy our realtor calls and tell us that there is a paper from the IRS that is missing from our file and we can't continue any further until the mortgage company gets that paper. Why is the mortgage company just figuring that out now???? I have no idea. On Monday (a week ago) our realtor called to tell us the mortgage company has the paper but they are still waiting for approval on something else. I honestly have no idea what they are talking about. All I know is that we are still not in our house, and I am still living in a teeny tiny hotel room with a baby and a dog. Through it all Livvy has be great. She really has. Sure she has her moments being cooped up in a hotel room with no toys except for miniature bottles of shampoo and lotion, but honestly I've had my moments to. Hopefully we will close either today or tomorrow. Keep your fingers for us!
Besides the house drama, we absolutely love it here in The Circle City. It has been so fun learning the ins and outs of a new city. Indianapolis certainly seems like a city with a lot to offer. The people here have been very nice and friendly and the weather hasn't been too bad either. We are so excited to get into our new house and start to feel even more settled.

OH MY GOSH! I can NOT believe that you are STILL not in your house!!!! I do not know how you are making this work with Livvy and Jada.... that's why you are wonder Mom :)
Good luck! Our fingers (and toes!!) are crossed for you!!! In the meantime, stock up on the hotel shampoos and lotions.... it may be a long couple of days for Livvy while you unpack all of her toys :)
Hope you get into that house soon! My fingers and toes are crossed.
You are almost there, hopefully! The worst has to be over by now, right? I don't know how you guys have done it, I'm sure it has been difficult. We are excited to see pics of your new house!! Glad you are liking the area. That's great!
I hate to tell you this now..., but I just have to....I was talking to Joe (who I work with) and he told me his father-in-law has a "bed and breakfast" in Indy. This should make you feel better - at least it did me - I hit him and hit him hard after that news!!!
I hope you are in your home and it is feeling homey...with Livvy's toys spread out everywhere, Jada running and jumping through the house and chocolate cheerios in the cupboard...can't wait to see pics of the place.
I love you all...luvnl8r
