it is really REAL

We signed our closing papers today; so it's really REALLY our house! WOO HOO! Besides buying the house, we have slowly been accumulating things for the new house; although some are more functional than fun. For example, our shiny new ladder and lawn mower. We also found a great patio set (pretty cheap) to dine outside on the deck. Sunday we'll slowly start moving boxes and smaller items over. Of course, its supposed to be hot that day. At least I'm not pregnant during this move, unlike the last one. When I come up for air I will post photos, soon.

house countdown

Spring (finally!) made its arrival. Now we get to the point where it becomes too warm in the house but I will not cave and turn on the A.C. It becomes a difficult battle in our house; because we face southwest and get all that afternoon sun. I've taken down our drapes which blocked out some of that heat.
I wish I could be working on stuff in our new yard. One week and one day to go! That's when we can "officially" be in the house, and we will make the transition over a week. The girls are looking forward to their own yard again, David & I are looking forward to our own 4 walls.... Sounds like a small perk, but we've been in multiple-housing for our entire marriage. (3 locations) The navy housing was the worse. Now we will have no houses directly in front or back of us...and a privacy fence in the back. Sounds very tranquil to me. I can't wait!
