It's Ours!

As of Tuesday around 5:00, we are officially homeowners!! The actual closing process was extremely smooth and only took about 45 minutes. I have to say, Gil was a stud and pretty much took care of everything. He's been the one talking to the bank and figuring everything out along the way. The only thing I had to do was get a cashier's check yesterday. Good job Husband!! I appreciate everything you did! :)

After we got the keys yesterday and were ready to head out, our Realtor told us she had a present for us. She had gotten us a 3-piece serving set from Pampered Chef. How nice was that!? Our plan was to head home and eat dinner for the first time at the house, but we decided against that since it'd be a hassle with no furniture and all. We grabbed Chipotle's for dinner (a fave of mine!) and then stopped at Trader Joe's for a bottle of celebratory wine. Then we headed over to the house for the first time since it was ours! I took lots of pictures of the house and we just hung out for a while. Later, we discovered that our Realtor had left a bottle of champagne in the fridge for us. Again, how nice was that!?! We were super satisfied with our Realtor, Karen Greenwood, and would definitely recommend her to anyone who's looking in this area.

I have this week off, so I'm going to be bringing small loads of stuff over to the house while Gil's at work. Our big move-in day is Saturday. We rented a Uhaul and we'll be bringing all the furniture (sigh, I don't like that part). :) It's so exciting to finally own the house and I can't wait to start decorating!

By the way...have I mentioned that I LOVE our cute red doors??
