Today has been very eventful and it is only 2pm! Malachi came to pick me and the girls up to attend the grand opening of the new office building for the company he works for. The office building is stunningly gorgeous! I was very impressed. He now has his very own office and they really made it nice for him.
However, before we left the lending agent called and the underwriter needed a bit more information about a deposit that was made earlier this month. I had to find the canceled check and draft a letter explaining what the deposit was for. Once Malachi walked in the door to get me and the girls I had him sign the letter, scan it and email it to our lending agent. So far I have not heard back from her, and "no news is good news".
We enjoyed the grand opening at Malachi's work and then came home to enjoy lunch before he headed back out to work. I then received a text message from our realtor informing me that the appraiser needs to go back out to the property and get pictures of a bedroom.
Let me explain:
The house is listed as having 4 bedrooms, however, in reality it only has 3 bedrooms. One of the bedrooms - the room we plan to put the girls in - is separated with a wall and a pocket door. Essentially the seller just put a divider to split up one big room into two smaller rooms. The problem is the room that has no connection to the hallway is not technically a "bedroom". The appraiser was able to classify it as a "sitting room" for the purposes of the appraisal and now is being required to go back out to the house and get pictures of it. The appraisal is done but apparently these pictures are important, but he will be unable to get the pictures until tomorrow.
The next thing is that the seller's wife is scheduled for back surgery on Wednesday. We had the pleasure of meeting the seller and his wife yesterday after we did our final walk through - and she (the seller's wife) told me that they really needed to close on Tuesday (tomorrow) because of her pending surgery. Well, it looks like they will need to get a power of attorney in order to complete the sale since they won't be present at closing, due to the surgery.
What does this all mean? Well, we won't be closing tomorrow for sure. Our realtor just let me know that it looks like we'll be closing late on Wednesday or on Thursday.
So, we continue to wait patiently. I do ask that you please keep the seller's wife in your prayers, that her surgery will go well and that she has a speedy recovery. Please pray that none of what is going on now causes them any stress or concern and that their agent will be on the ready to go above and beyond to make this a smooth process for them. I am sure this is the last thing they want to be worrying about during her surgery.
Again, many thanks to everyone who has been praying for us and cheering us on. God is good and He will see this to through the end - for His glory!
Soli Deo Gloria!
Serving God and My Family,
