SOLD!

We did it! We just bought our first house! Today was closing today and what a perfect day it was.  My mom sent me a text in the morning, "What a beautiful day to buy a house!".  I have been excited this whole time, but I put a cap on my excitement and didn't let myself get past a certain level until we actually CLOSED on OUR house.  After we signed those papers, Matt and I walked out of the title company and looked at each other with huge grins and hugs...we own a house!

We started out the morning by doing a final walk-through of the house.  The sellers were actually there; they wanted to show us how to use a couple things and to just be around for questions.  It was awesome to have them there. We thought of so many questions and they had an answer for every one.  They are such sweet people.  Especially once we discovered they had left us a bottle of champagne and toasting glasses in the fridge to celebrate :).

After the walk-through, we had an hour to waste before our closing appointment.  We made our way over to Einstein Bagels and had some yummy breakfast.  Then, we met all met up at the title company.  The whole closing process went so smoothly.  Everyone was happy and it went so quick.  The sellers surprised us by having all of the keys and garage door openers there and ready for us after closing.  We originally thought we would get them 2 days after closing, but that was such a nice surprise!  After we closed, we drove over to the house and just walked around realizing this was now our house.  What an amazing feeling.  

The next step is painting and starting the packing process.  It feels so good to know that this time we are packing will be the last time for a long while.  

Meet the newest homeowners on the block...
