Keep on swimming...

Of all the utility companies I've had to contact in regards to moving (that would be about 10) Verizon DSL is the absolute WORST of them all, and their residential phone service is a close 2nd! *kicks Verizon in the shins*. I resorted to telling the Verizon DSL rep that I talked to after being transferred about 5 times that if I was transferred one more time I'd get my internet from my cable company instead of from Verizon. He was very helpful and even gave me a discount on my DSL service for one year.

New News as of today...renters arriving May 8th or 9th so we don't have to move into temp housing until May 6th, making things much easier for us. We are now moving out of the mobile home on May 6th.

Just heard from my mortgage broker and my loans have been approved (the previous approval was a pre-approval). And yes, I said loans as in plural. I'm getting an 80/20 loan. It has to do with avoiding mortgage insurance (not to be confused with hazzard [homeowners] insurance) and tax benefits.

New News as of yesterday...Received the signed lease from my renters...who seem to be VERY nice people. I can't wait to meet them in person! Things have worked out so we can store our stuff in the garage at the new house. This means no storage facility rental, only one move AND we can start living in the house on May 11th since all our stuff will be right there in the garage!

Closing has been moved to Friday afternoon on the 22nd.
