Kevin: Hi, I'd like to make a wire transfer. We're closing on a house.
Bank Lady: Alright, there's a form you have to fill out. Do you want it faxed or emailed to you?
Kevin: Email
Bank Lady: Alright, you should have it in 1-2 business hours.
Kevin: Uhhh...you're going to email it to me right?
Bank Lady: Yes
Kevin: Can you email it to me right now?
Bank Lady: Nope, we have a separate department for that. They'll have it to you in 1-2 business hours.
Our response... seriously? Do you have the form right there? Can you see if from where you are sitting? Is it on your desktop?
The good news is that although we probably won't close on time on the house... we should be homeowners again within the next week... and the walk through of the house went great today. The owners just finished all the repairs we asked them to do and the gutters were all cleaned today.
I love my new kitchen and high ceilings, and Andrew is very excited about his new room and the stairs. He just went up and down them all morning.
We are crossing our fingers that things move a little quicker tomorrow and Friday... but we'll see.

That form story is so funny--I hate red tape. And your house is SO GORGEOUS!!! I'd seen your pictures before but was blown away anew--it's to die for.
Oh the house is beautiful! How exciting that you're so close to moving in. Sorry about the lame form people, why do they always have to make things more difficult?
I love the molding on the wall and the high ceilings seem luxurious! I can't wait for you to get all moved in, so I can come for a visit!!!
