It’s done – we are homeowners! It’s still hard to believe. God just moved everything in just the right time for our closing to go through (almost) smoothly.

Thanks to our slow mortgage lender, our closing was delayed for two hours. No problem – they offered to buy us lunch. We had amazing food at a great spotjust down the street from our new house. After stuffing ourselves with woodgrill chicken and to-die-for fettuccine, we made our way to the title company to sign our names over,

and over,

and over,

until they had everything possible covered and we were more in debt than we’ve ever imagined. Whoa.

(Insert mini-panic attach here.)

So after the requester of the signatures offered us a lovely parting gift and we took our shiny new key to our new home.

We toasted with the capri suns from the gift basket:

We did it!

Now here we are, having minor squabbles over the flooring budget and trying to figure out how to most efficiently move into our home.

(I told Hawk, “We’re going to moving into the last house you’ll ever live in.”)

Wow.
