Closing Costs Revealed!

Just received an email from our Lender (Home American Mortgage) and the email was nothing but good news!

We got our interest rate locked in at 3.75% fixed for 30years

Closing Costs: $1,042.17 (thank you VA)

The closing costs we nagging at us for the past month or so and nobody would even give us an estimate. I guess we had to wait until the builder (Richmond American) provided the lender with the “go ahead” on the loan.

I am pretty sure that we will also get our $6,400 deposit back after escrow closes as the money does not appear as being absorbed in any of the paperwork. Looks like we will be able to afford the rear deck we want.

Oh, monthly house payment $2,129. The amount includes our HOA fees. The mortgage payment is only $129 more than we are paying now.

We are getting so close right now.

The last few expenses will be a refrigerator and the cost to move our stuff. I have a firm quote of $1,092 from Two Men and a Truck. We get two guys for ten hours. We will have everything boxed up so they just need to move it. Good luck with the treadmill guys! Ha!!

Jordan Day 1

It's been almost three years since we had payed for our trip to Jordan and Israel. THREE FUCKING YEARS! We finally went and had a great time. The trip lasted almost a month and we started our adventure in Amman, Jordan. We arrived a day early so we could acclimate to the time change (nine hour difference). We had purchased some Briggs and Riley high end luggage in hopes to carry them on the plane due to all of the recent horror stories of lost and or delayed baggage. No such luck! We were forced to check our bags at the gate in Denver. If we had known our bags would have to be checked, we would have brought a lot more clothes and a much bigger suitcase. We only brought six days of clothes (with an extra abundance of underwear and socks). The planes were on time and we arrived in Amman a bit tired and eager to get going. Our first hotel was the House Boutique Hotel which was really comfortable. The hotel had a roof top pool and most importantly, a roof top bar. A lit

Thank You For The Smoke (California)! Wyoming Sucked

Another attempt at Astrophotography gone up in smoke. Thank you California for the ruining our Wyoming weekend. Don't worry, we will be visiting soon and will definitely leave a mark on your ass. The smoke was so bad in Wyoming. Thick, grey and disgusting. Of course, this didn't stop people from going to one of our favorite spots in Wyoming. Medicine Bow National Forest. We dressed for 60 degree weather. We didn't expect 35 degree weather with fog and blustery wind. Glad we packed additional clothes (hats, gloves, scarfs etc). I am ahead of myself. The day excursion to Medicine Bow was the second day. We spent the first day at the Wyoming Territorial Prison to visit relatives. Ha...the prison is now a park. The prison's most famous prisoner was Butch Cassidy. The only prison that Butch was incarcerated in. Pretty good for career criminal. We spent most of the day at the prison. Historical Prisons will the only ones that I will visit. My mother raised m

Barr Lake Part Deux

Another trip out to Barr Lake with only our Cameras and super telephoto lenses in tow. We opted to bring monopods in lieu of our heavier Manfrotto Tripods as our last trip we were overloaded with cameras and lenses. I think our trial and error is paying off.
