Work Out of the Day (6/22/09)

Run

3.25 Easy pace run
-Surface: Hard-packed trail and asphalt path.
-Elevation: +166/-65, mostly flat.

Since moving and getting the house ready, I haven't really worked out in a few weeks. So this is my first workout in about 2 weeks.

We moved in.

We are moved in to our new home. The move went smoothly, the guys we hired were on time and efficient and took 4.5 hours to load and unload.

As for unpacking, that is an ongoing process. The basement is still littered with boxes as is the 2nd bedroom, but the main living areas are mostly put together.

Last weekend I had to spend several hours working on the yard. The grass was out of control so I probably spent 2 hours simply mowing the front and back yards. But all in all, so far so good, but we need to get window coverings and a dishwasher.

The Big Move is Tomorrow

Well...the big move is tomorrow. I have been lazily packing over the last 2 weeks, but will probably regret it tonight as I scramble to get everything else packed and realize how much I haven't packed.

We Closed on Our House

We closed on our house yesterday. I will try to have pictures soon, but I lost my digital camera and have been too lazy to replace it.

We got a good price, we qualify for the 1st time homebuyer tax credit, and our loan is a 30 year fixed at 4.75%.

Still Waiting...

Still waiting for the bank to green light closing. Haven't heard anything from my Mortgage Broker, there have been no additional demands from underwriting, so we are just waiting for the account to indicate "ok to close." The closing is tentatively scheduled for Monday, but nothing is final until the bank clears the transaction to close.

Some Memories of Mexico

Ahh, offshore fishing in Mexico, Circa 2005. A roughly 6 foot Sailfin I caught off the coast of Ixtapa, Mexico.

Looks Like We Will Actually Close on the House

We finally got our conditional approval from the lender. They just needed minor documentation (which, they already had), but we should be closing next week. It really makes you wonder if the underwriters really look at the packet that is sent over, or if they simply do a short-shrift review and make a list of items they need.

What kills me is this...they kept asking for m W-2 from my teaching gig at UNLV. I supplied them with the Wage & Income Transcript from the IRS; the Wage & Income Transcript is the official register of what W-2's, 1099's etc., have been filed with the IRS by a taxpayers various employers. So, even though I supplied the Wage & Income Transcript for 2007, the underwriter still came back and said he needed my W-2. If I ever meet this idiot mortgage underwriter, I would punch him the face for being stupid.
