Yesterday I was doing my usual post-work activity of sitting in front of the computer and playing games when Marissa came to me with a question. Evidently we received a check from our mortgage company for an "escrow overage" and it was for a substantial amount of money. I called this morning to see what it was and turns out each year the mortgage company looks at how much we've paid into escrow (from our monthly mortgage payment) and looks at what our taxes and such are and sees if there is too much or too little. Turns out, there was too much and we get the money!

I was rather surprised and called them to verify this wasn't money we'd need for something later and did some research online and it looks all legit. I don't know how common this is, but this is like the third or fourth refund check we've gotten related to the house. Needless to say, I'm quite pleased!
