I was supposed to close on the condo this morning at 9:00. Yesterday, I got a call from my realtor stating that it wasn't going to happen then. This morning, after talking to the closing agent at the title company, I wasn't sure if it was going to happen anytime soon.

A few hours, some nervous phone calls, 26 miles, and over $14,000 later, it did end up happening.

I'm officially a homeowner.
