one step closer

today i got news back from our mortgage guy that we have preliminary underwriter approval with just a few loose ends to tie up!!  that means that this thing is HAPPENING!!  and way faster than initially anticipated.  when we made our offer last friday we put the estimated closing date out 45 days to May 10th.  but now its looking like we'll move this month! 

so chris and i decided to go out for dinner to celebrate.  right now we're saving for closing costs and our vacation in august, so we only go out for dinner one time a month.  so we blew it on the 1st but it was worth it!  we're so excited!!

i had steak, loaded mashed potatoes, green beans and asparagus and shrimp and scallops.  amazing!  chris had a Texas burger with burger patty, pulled pork, coleslaw and crispy onions.  and then we shared our favorite desert at Michaels.  yum!

so now we move on to the next stage, which will be all of our day tomorrow: PACKING!! 
anyone for a packing party?? ;)
