Who Knew?

I have survived the stresses of purchasing property.  Ugh!  I had no idea just how many hoops we would have to jump through in order to secure a loan.  I would like to know how much it has cost me in gas money and recording fees.  I really had no clue just how long it could take a title company to do a simple title search on property that we have owned for fourteen years.  A projected wait time of ten days turned into a torturous four weeks.  Everyone I spoke to had someone else to pin the blame on and just ONE MORE detail that I needed to attend to.  Anyway, I am just SO thankful to have it all behind us.  This is really just an opportunity for me to vent some frustrations.  There is nothing meaningful or inspirational to be found in this posting.  Sometimes a girl just needs to gripe and moan a little!
