Escrow

Earlier this month, Hubs and I decided to make an offer on a new place. A few days later, we're in escrow. Had I known we were getting a new place to live, I probably wouldn't have planned a trip to Europe this spring. I'm hoping to close escrow before we leave on our trip but we'll probably sign our final paperwork in London or Paris.
 
There are couple of household appliances we need to purchase which is nerve wrecking because a new frig and washer and dryer are expensive. When you're in escrow, you're not supposed to add new debt or transfer money between bank accounts. I didn't think I would need to cancel any of my restaurant reservations but it's hard not to think about the expenses we would need to cover when closing on a house.
 
Well, at least I'll have a larger kitchen and new appliances.
