Complete Utter Disappointment

I actually thought I was going to cry when I read the forwarded email from my husband this morning.  Last Wednesday, our builder sent us, the bank, his investor, etc. the "It's Official" date for closing on our new home.  He scheduled it for April 11th (after verbally saying it would be the 15th).  We worked frantically to get everything in order to be ready in 3 weeks:  coordinated movers, packers, gave our 30 day notice for our storage unit and our apt., almost canceled my hair appt. scheduled for the 11th...

Today's email stated that he's not going to be able to get it finished by the 11th and now our closing is scheduled for the 25th!  This is getting close to the LAST straw for us with our builder.  Thankfully he uses incredible subcontractors or I'd be worried about the quality of our home, as unorganized as he seems to be.  How do you make an official announcement for our closing and then 5 days later bump it back two weeks?  Don't people get their ducks in a row before making such an important announcement?  I can't begin to tell you how FRUSTRATING this builder has made this process for us.  We've built 4 other houses and this process has been more irritating than all FOUR together!  UGH!!!!

I know this isn't the end of the world, but we were on the 3 week countdown.  We had grand plans of using Easter weekend to unpack with Andy home and the bonus of a 3 day weekend.  It's so incredibly disappointing.  Ever feel like you are just waiting for the next phase to begin?  I've been in that stage since October 2012 when I found out we were moving to Jax.  It wasn't until April 2013 that the kids and I moved.  We've been living in our cramped apt since April 2013 and most of our stuff in long term storage.  It's so hard to be patient and be present in each day as I look ahead to life in our new house.  I've got to pull up the boot straps and suck it up.  I just want to get my family in our home, unpacked and settled.  It doesn't feel like "home" until then.
