Udpates and waits

Well, the proposal was a success! (of course LOL). She video called us right after and was very happy, teary and surprised. Happy times :)  BF (now Fiance...what are the initials for that?) sister goes to school in the area he proposed, so she was there to take pics. I've seen one so far. It's adorable.

I got a call from the lender yesterday that the appraiser told them he'd have it to them by this morning. This morning I get an email that it will be by the end of today now. Apparently he is having trouble finding comps for sale. Well no kidding! There is nothing comparable. If there was, we'd have bought it, rather than going through all this. This is not a very populated state and then try to narrow it down to the county/region? Acreage, on the river/view, with covenants, paved road to property (rare around here), with a nice house w/a few upgrades and a fully finished, inside and out, heated shop? Like I said, if we could find that for sale, we'd have bought it in a heartbeat. She seems to "think" this is a good sign that he's still working on it.....she thinks that might mean he's really working to come up with the number we need. I'm not even holding my breath we'll hear by end of day.

This afternoon lender emailed me: in anticipation of receiving the appraisal today I'd like to schedule your closing for 3/20. Well, at least she is optimistic - I'm still not.

Had a phone chat with my boss today. Just before that I was on a call for quite a few minutes, using the phone app, for work calls....my phone was getting totally hot.  Same thing when my boss called (through phone app). I googled the issue and it's most likely the app, but not sure if it's the app because my phone is so old. She is going to check and see if anyone else is having the issue (though most probably use a Bluetooth earbud, so aren't holding onto their phone, like I am). She also said she has a few old/extra iphone 6's, so she is going to see how to go about getting me one of  those or sending one to me, so I can transfer my phone to it, under my plan.

Found out our niece is expecting her first baby in the Fall. She hasn't told anyone yet, but very immediate family, but DH's mom has some dementia, so she spilled the beans to DH. She also said she was having twins, a boy and a girl, so we were thinking she might just be making it all up. LOL. Niece was just waiting to tell everyone after her 3 months is up. She is not having twins, that she knows of, haha!

Hopefully I'll have news one way or the other by the end of today. I'm so ready to get out of limbo mode.
