After a marathon session of signing papers we were finally handed the keys to our new house. Which we are not renting. We are actual home owners! It felt really good to check the box marked "owner" instead of "renter" on various utilities contact forms.
I couldn't be happier, especially knowing that it's home for me and the love of my life. I can't wait to start a family and fill the house with many years of happy memories. It's funny how things come full circle. I've loved Charlie since we met at the summer camp where we both worked in 1995 and for close to three years we've been making dreams come true for each other. This new chapter of our life is another dream come true.
So for the past week I've been cleaning the new house and putting away the fragile stuff we don't want to entrust to the movers. Plus I'm not alone in the cleaning and painting departments. My mom is helping with the cleaning and my mother-in-law is bringing her expert painting skills to transform some rooms. We're so lucky that we have such supportive families and that they get along so well. I'm looking forward to hosting many holidays and parties at our house. God knows we have the room for it!
Of course I'll post a house tour featuring all the oddities we've found in the house. And if you have any idea why the sellers put a lock on the attic door which enables us to lock people INSIDE the attic, please let me know. Weirdos.
