It's been three weeks since a contractor was at my house, I've still not seen an estimate. WTF?
The cat piss smell from previous owner's pet is killing me. It was so bad one morning I almost started ripping up the carpet myself.
I got my "congrats on your one year anniversary on your house" letter from my mortgage company. It went a little something like this..."Hey, congrats on your one year in your home. Your escrow was underestimated and your new payment will be $200.00 more per month." Isn't home ownership awesome?
It still does blow my mind that it's been a year.
We had Buggy's ninth birthday at our house last year...we are having her second birthday party in OUR home this weekend. Mr.FF is making her an ice cream/jonas brothers/webkinz/karate cake. Buggy's design. Good times.
Sunday will be a true football day for us. All three boys have games and the Bears will be on. Hopefully it won't be football weather. I am so not ready for the cold.
Speaking of football, Bubba's team won their first game last weekend, they were so stoked. Even though they don't keep score officially for his age group, we all know it was a win...parents, kids and the coaches.
Along those same lines, Bubba was totally bad ass in the game too. Something clicked that week before the game. He's actually tackling and getting into the plays. It's really fun to watch.
Bubba is really ready to put up the Halloween stuff. I told him one holiday at a time, Buggy's birthday comes first. Then it's fair game.
Well I think that's all for now...hope you all have a great weekend.
I am counting down the minutes to get the heck out of here and start my weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy hour I am on my way!
Our mortgage company did the same thing to us last year. This year they sent us a refund and told us we were paying too much into escrow. I really think they are all just bonkers.
ReplyDeleteWOW! A year already? It seems like yesterday you were just moving in...
ReplyDeleteHappy Houseaversary!
Happy one year, but the mortgage company can suck it. I have never heard of that but the whole escrow thing is beyond me. What? I am supposed to know that? Shhh. Tell no one I am an accountant.
ReplyDeleteKamden's soccer was like that too, no official scoring but we all knew if it was a win or loss. They might as well just keep score!
Happy House anniversary to you ! I remember reading this blog before it all happened, and I am so happy that you are in your own home.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's legal to raise your payment like that.
And Happy Birthday to your daughter !
It was a full and interesting weekend. The cake and birthday party look to be a smash.
ReplyDeleteStupid mortgage companies. We were first time buyers with this house, and nearly got killed when the taxes went up the second year. UGH!
