Yesterday was the day. We met at the Century 21 office at 10:00 am on Friday and we were officially homeowners by 11:30 am. It was amazing how smooth this whole thing went. Even better, we get to start moving in just 8 days. Just like that we left 8 years of renting behind and started building a little equity. It was an amazing feeling for Kristen and I.
What does this mean for us? At this point, I can only imagine what it means for us. For one thing, we get a lot more space. We have a permanent place that we can decorate and take care of all ourselves. While I am certain this new address will add some frustrations and will definitely hurt us with all the new costs we’ve never paid before… but it is our place. My kids can grow up there and it just feels like home. We can’t wait to start this new stage in life.
In other news. Paul suddenly got sick last night. He’s had a fever since last night. I took him for a walk last night as it was cooling off so he could get fresh air, etc. It definitely lifted his spirits… but he fell asleep on the way back and was really groggy when we got home. Megan was happy with the walk as well since we ended up going to Dairy Queen. You know Paul is sick when he turns down food!
ND today? Being an Irish fan in Wolverine country is awful fun today. Can’t wait until my Irish pound the U of M gang on their home turf.
Garage sales… With a new house looming and a massive list of crap we need… we’re headed out this morning in search of treasures.
