So, we closed on the house this morning… wow. That’s a lot of paperwork. However, my buddy Tony had talked it up so much that the paper work was much less than I expected. However, I had to sign a document stating that buying the house and assuming a mortgage wasn’t going to cause me ‘hardship.’ It’s a loan! Of course there’s hardship. Ironically, Mike, our real estate agent said they don’t ask you to sign the hardship document a second time if they foreclose 😉 The payments came in under our ‘max’ payment we could afford. I also feel like the previous owners of the house are good folks and we may stay in contact with them. Of course that’ll be weird because our decoration style could be different, or maybe we’ll just keep it a nice distant relationship so that they don’t discover that we’re really wacky folks.

I can’t wait to buy the rest of the surround sound speakers to get the surround sound working downstairs… its good that it’ll be in the basement so that the neighbors don’t complain 😉 Now that’s hardship.
