Tomorrow is Closing Day!
Closing is scheduled for tomorrow morning, Monday, July 16 at 10:00 AM. Everything is in place and should be an uneventful process.
Chris and I drove up from Rehoboth Beach early this morning. (Sun., July 15). It was an easy ride. We drove separately; we needed two cars as Chris will go directly to work on Tuesday. Oh, I forgot to mention that our 2007 Yukon died 2 weeks ago. Needed a new engine. So, we sold it. We have borrowed the 2000 Chevy pickup from Chris' mom till we figure out a second car option.
We are staying at the Hampton Inn in Stroudsburg/Bartonsville which is close to shopping and not far from the house and closing office. Our goal today is to purchase a mattress to be delivered tomorrow after closing. We need something to sleep on at the house. We head out shopping, purchase a mattress and request to be the last delivery tomorrow. Sounds simple enough.
We continue our shopping at a few other stores for some must have items for the house since our furniture will not arrive for a few weeks due to Chris' schedule at work. Shopping is fast and furious (Chris is not a shopper--he is believes in the go in, get it, and get out shopping mentality). Next we head to grab a bite to eat at OPP Original Pocono Pub. We had been there before; it's a fun place and directly across the street from the hotel. Bonus: They have pierogies on the menu as an appetizer.
As we are enjoying our pierogies, the phone rings. It is the confirmation robo call for the mattress delivery; we will be the first stop - between 9-10 AM. Of course there is nothing we can do at this point but hope and pray the delivery truck arrives very early so we can make it to closing by 10 AM.
Stay tuned . . .
