Click three times to go home

Seems like everyone I know is going through a major life change. Some are getting married, many moving in together, some changing jobs...others leaving the country. It's all very sureal sometimes to me...like wondering if we all were pulled up by a tornado and landed on another parallel planet. I personally do believe in parallel universes, but that's a whole different blog :). To myself and all my friends out there who feel lost and/or confused sometimes with all the big changes...just remember to click your heels three times to come home and stay grounded. Our friends, families, coworkers, and all those others that care about us are only a click away (even if it is virtual!).

America's Builder

We had our final walkthrough with our new home builder, Dr. Horton, America's builder! I have to say they have been great so far. Very responsive, very helpful, very professional. We have only minor issues on the house and I cannot wait to move in! It's only been a couple of months, but it feels like 6! I'm turning the page in the next chapter of my life...I am very happy and excited!

Stop the madness!

If you have ever purchased a house, you know how the fees that everyone under the sun, including the title company keep adding up and up and up. You think you are going to close at x amount and it doubles by the time it's done. Bank fees, title fees, HOA fees...all of whom should really not have a bloody cent more for the lack of value that they add in the process. COME ON. $100 for COPY CHARGES? What are they using gold laced copy paper? It's all ONLINE now...and yet we still have paper charges along with "electronic filing fee!"...ok so now I have to pay for you to file and store electronically, scan, AND print out and copy? Where's my big bad squirt gun??? Someone needs to get some sense squirted into them!
