Backstory Part 3: Moving Out

So, I forgot to mention earlier, but around mid-November, Adrian and I decided that it might be a good idea if we moved out of our building and rented our unit, so that if we did find a house, it would be easier for us to obtain an owner-occupied mortgage.  Again, we hadn't really thought we'd find a house until spring so we only casually began to market our apartment. I think we both expected to maybe get tenants around February or something, but fortunately (and unfortunately) for us we found tenants who wanted to move in December 1.  This gave us 2 weeks to move out...without a contract on a house...with nothing packed up...and during my finals week for grad school.  Worst. Plan. Ever.

So while dealing with waiting to hear back from the bank regarding our offer, we spent all of the Friday after Thanksgiving packing up our stuff to get ready to move into my parents' house.  We rented a truck on Saturday and spent the day moving all of our things either into the basement of our building, a storage unit down the street or various places in my parents’ house.  To say the least, it was pretty stressful especially with this offer weighing on our shoulders.
