I guess the most frustrating part of this whole process of buying our townhome is that I didn’t understand what was going on.  I finally got some answers today and I feel a lot better now that I understand the process a little better.

Anyway, we found out yesterday that we were supposed to hear from the underwriter by Friday.  But, we got the conditions back today instead of tomorrow, so that’s really good news.  We just have to turn in the necessary paperwork to meet the conditions and then the underwriter will send the “Clearance to Close” papers to the title company within 48 hours.

All the paperwork’s ready to go to the underwriter first thing tomorrow morning.  What does that mean?  It means we may actually be able to spend Christmas in our new home. We should close Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest.  (To be honest, I’m still a little skeptical.  But, I’m trying to have faith and be optimistic.)

Thanks for all the prayers!  We’ve really needed them and still do to help everything else go smoothly and happen before Christmas.
