The pinnacle of anti-climax
After the waiting we went through when we first submitted the offer, it seemed like there wouldn't be much more in the way of stress.
Silly me.
The back-and-forth of the counter process was a challenge, mostly because I worried about the deal falling through altogether, but the only thing that came close to the stress of the original offer was the final night, waiting for word as to whether or not we'd get through underwriting. I'm sure I shouldn't have been as worried as I was, but with as much momentum as we have gotten going - packing for the last 2 weekends - it would be that much more crushing for things to fall through at this point than it would have at the beginning.
That being the case, it was a huge relief this morning to get the call that everything was underway, and to get the scheduling details to go and sign everything to get the purchase completed. Ultimately, I suppose that was the climax, as that was the most critical moment - waiting for the call this morning.
When we actually signed everything and found out when we would get keys, I found it to be something of an anti-climax. While we can now be excited and relieved that we can pack everything up and leave the ants, the bad plumbing, the bad basement, and the other quirks behind, the reality of the uphill climb of finishing packing and actually moving everything made it hard to be quite as excited as I thought I might be.
Regardless, mulling it over as I write about it, I am damn excited!!! :-) And thankful to be such, as it'll make it easier to pack & clean, knowing that it only gets better from here!
