Done Deal

It's a done deal! A few days ago, we closed on our house and got our keys. We are now officially slaves of the Bank for the next 30 years. Never did I think that I would be happy to be enslaved. :)

Yesterday, we went to Home Depot to buy a few appliances that the house was still missing. Today, we lined up at 7:30 am for an hour and a half to get into the Crate and Barrel warehouse sale a few towns away. We managed to snag a nice, big dining table for a quarter of the original price. Yeah, it has a few scratches but it's nothing that a table runner can't hide. We picked out a few more things and tore ourselves away. There were a few other pieces that we would have wanted to get but we decided that we had spent enough. It was totally out of our usual spending pattern that the bank actually called us after we got home to verify our purchases!

And now, to pack. I wish we could fast-forward and skip the entire thing. It's the part of this entire process that I would rather do without!

Thanks, Charl & Tin! That champagne sounds really good right now. Everything aches, from the heels of my feet to the joints of my fingers. Moving is a nightmare! I'm just glad it's just about over. :)

Yes, congratulations on the new home. Don't worry. It will all be over soon. Packing IS a nightmare. Unpacking will be more fun, but it can be tedious too, especially if you have to place lining on all the shelves. Either way, it's a great thing overall. You and M have taken great strides in reaching your goals. You deserve all the rewards that go along with reaching those goals.

Thanks, Vic. I'm still not sure how it all happened but it did, so we're just going to savor the experience. :)
