Congrats!!! I hope that from now on that everything will go smoothly.

I'll take photos of the house next time I'm in it

the house? YOUR house Hope you will be very happy there

I am SOOO happy for you, Kim. What a huge yard! The pups are gonna be so happy. The kitties will probably freak but will adjust. They did when you moved to your apt.

Glad you stuck it out, kiddo. It was well worth the wait.

That's such good news! When I bought this house, the agent said "You know there are 6 offers on this house already". I said "Well, now there are 7". (Nothing like trying to discourage a buyer. ) When I went to see the house, people were walking out w/their agent as we were walking in and another person was walking in as we were walking out. Made me very nervous. Mine wasn't the highest offer but the couple still accepted it after much drama. Sometimes I think they get a kick out of doing that to us. Anyhow, didn't mean to make this about me, just wanted you to know that it all happens the way it's supposed to. I guess it makes us appreciate it that much more. Congrats to you, girl!

Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you and all the furkids.

I can't wait to be in that spot!

Congrats! I was looking up the city last night on my BB after I read your post on FB. I was trying to see if you were enroute to either Luddington or St. Joseph! We would be stopping by on the way up this July... LOL, I couldn't figure it out.

Oooh how exciting!!! And just look at the huge fenced in back yard! ALRIGHT!

Just a note, the next 60 days won't be smooth sailing either, he hee. This is my first house purchase, and I still shudder remembering everything leading up to actually moving IN. There are always last minute changes to this, that, and the other. The housing inspector doesn't arrive as scheduled; or he does, but forgot his paperwork. Then this one is late, the next one is early. And the paperwork! But it is all happy at the end, and well worth it!

Yeah, someone already caught you on the photos of "the" house, it is YOURS! GO FOR IT!

Thanks everyone! Yes... MY house. That just feels weird.

The fur crew is doing surprisingly well with all the big changes. We've already started boxing things up and it doesn't seem to faze them. I'm still going to be using Feliway and Rescue Remedy though. Logan is the one I'm really going to keep an eye on and Chipper's only known this apartment, but I think he'll be okay.

Cataholic, I'm 2 hours and 20 minutes north-east of St. Joseph. As for Ludington... Google Maps says it's about a 13 mile difference but the same amount of driving time if you went through Lansing vs. Grand Rapids to get there.
