We own a house! We - bought - a - house! We're still in shock but it feels terrific. Closing went very smoothly yesterday. We met Bob, our realtor, at the house at noon for our final walk through. Everything was cleared out and pretty clean. They even left us some curtains, a mop, shower curtain and plunger - how sweet!
Then at 1 we went to closing and it took about an hour. Amy made cookies for everyone involved. The only snag we ran into was that our water had been turned off so we had to call the water company to come turn it back on. First they told us it would be a week till anybody would come to the house but we talked them into coming out right away.
Last night we picked up Amy's car from the garage after inspection and then we cleaned the new house a little. We just can't believe it is really ours! We ran some cookies over to our mortgage guy, Todd, too.
So now we're getting overwhelmed with thoughts of vacation. We're in the middle of laundry and packing right now. Our flight leaves tomorrow night for Athens and then Tuesday we fly to London. Can't wait!
