Still waiting

We arrived back in Sacramento on 8/18 under the belief that Melissa's purchase of a condo would be closing soon.  We are still waiting.  There have been a lot of bumps along the way and the frustration just keeps building.  It is believed that everything Wells Fargo needs/wants was put in their possession on Monday, 8/30.  Here we sit waiting for final approval so that documents can be drawn and signed.  After waiting 2 1/2 hours on the phone with Wells Fargo yesterday, the underwriter was told that a decision would be made today or Friday.  I wouldn't want to put any money on it what with a three-day holiday right around the corner.  The lack of customer service and the amount of BS being fed is outrageous.  No wonder so many who would like to buy a home at nearly basement bargain prices just give up.  What a waste of time and energy.

We did get Melissa moved out of her apartment and items put in storage.  We have a very full 5th wheel as Melissa and her cat are staying with us.  Melissa did spend one night with friends enjoying a good nights sleep on a regular bed while her cat had a total meltdown for 12 hours and neither John nor I got much sleep because she was not going to be pacified.   Unfortunately, Melissa's friends have cat allergies so she couldn't take Hayden with her so she (Melissa) had to return to stay with us . . .  no Hayden.  I guess Hayden wore herself out after her 12 hour meltdown as she was pretty darn mellow before and after Melissa arrived.  If Hayden kept Melissa awake last night, it wasn't at the pitch from the night before when we (and possibly our neighbors) were kept awake, as I only heard soft meows on occasion.  This experience has confirmed to John and I that we do not want any pets at this point in our lives.

I didn't think we would ever say this again but we are soooooo ready to get with painting, unpacking and such.  May this logjam break soon or there will be three of us humans having a meltdown.

While all of this condo craziness has engulfed us, our family did have some good news what with the arrival of our great-niece Emma Leigh Kinnear on August 31.  Welcome to the family Emma and we can't wait to meet you.
