The Post-Pre-Home-Ownership Post

I'm a homeowner!

We jetted out of work for a bit to go sign some paperwork, presented the title company with a comically oversized novelty check for a bunch of $$$, and signed our names or initials about fifty times. And that's it! The sellers have to come in and do some stuff, and the wire transfer of all our $$$ has to go through (it will) and just like that, we are homeowners. We got to go see our house yesterday, but, um, the previous people were still moving out. Rough. So with any luck, next time we go we'll be able to see the place all cleaned out for the first time. We'll try and get some cleaners to come over and give the place a serious scrub-down before we move in, just cause we can, but mostly it'll just be strange to see the place without anything in it. And then we get to put in all of *our* stuff.

So, yeah, we own a house. What did you do on your lunch?

OMG- a house of your very own. You should leave legos and stuff out everywhere, just like we always wanted to when we were little....
