Well, some of you might remember my posting here saying I'm in the market for a driver and leaning heavily towards Mark VIIIs. I'm still wanting to get one, pretty much planning on it, just don't know how long it'll be at this point. Hopefully only off by a matter of weeks.
Mike and I SHOULD be getting the keys to our new house today, we hope. This has been an ordeal the likes of which I never want to experience again. The convoluted business of mortgage/finance nauseates me, quite frankly. But that's something for another time.
We found that closing costs were going to be TWO GRAND higher than anticipated. Luckily, I've been stashing a grand a month back for several months, so that wasn't much of an issue. Just frustrating. There's little you can do at that point, after putting down such a large chunk for earnest money.
Here's some pics of the stress-inducing purchase:

It's a brand new build on an acre, no HOA, and the garage is of a decent proportion.
We're going in tonight to prep the garage floor for painting. This weekend comes ceiling fans and a bunch of our stuff. And on and on and on.
SO, once things are settled and we have a decent budget hashed out, I will purchase a car! I'm still looking actively, just in case I come across a screaming deal that can't be passed up (I never fall into those, tho).
Just thought I'd let you know that I didn't post once and skip out. Things have just been insane around here lately.
