We have officially closed on the old house. It was quite the ordeal yesterday to get everything done. Bank of America couldn't get their act together and get the paperwork to the Title Company. We were supposed to close at 9:00am yesterday and it actually happened at 5:00pm. Danny had to swing by the Title Company on his way to the state swim meet. Athletes in the car waiting for him and everything. He signed a Power of Attorney so I could sign for him since he was going out of town until Saturday. I went and signed the papers on my way to the track meet. Like I said it was a little crazy. Megan - don't let this discourage you in your house buying process :)
I was a little sad the other night when we got the last of the outside stuff from the old house. I was sitting on the deck and it was a gorgeous night and it made me a little sad to leave behind all the hard work that has been done to that house, especially the deck. I guess Dad will have to make another trip to get something built at the new house. Right, Dad?
Now that we have closed on the house we can go get some dining room furniture and stuff for the movie room. Right now we can sit in the movie room and watch a blank wall. We have to figure out what tv we want in there and then surround sound. And who we are going to get to install it all, because that is not a job that we are going to undertake.
I know that a lot of you have been asking for pictures of the new house and I'm sorry I don't have any to post yet. Here's the problem....the last thing I want to do is empty boxes and get stuff organized when I get home, so I don't want to take pictures of boxes laying around everywhere. I'm finally starting to feel better at the end of the day, so hopefully I'll get my act together and get some stuff done around the house so I have it presentable to even take pictures. The other problem is that we don't have the internet at our house yet, so I have to get the pictures to my school computer to even put them on here. I know, I know - these are just excuses. I'll try in the next week!
Look for baby pictures next week. I have my next appointment on Tuesday! Hard to believe I'm 10 weeks already.

That is great hon I am glad you are in the house you want to be and yes you did a great job of fixing up your first home and it was great for you at that time in your life. I know how you feel about leaving that house though because I sat in our living room in Eagan and was pretty sad also when it was time to finally leave an empty house. I was a great house for us at that time too but wow what a great move we made.
congrats on it all coming together like it did though and I am sure Dad will be glad to come down and help with stuff too and relax since there probably isn't that much for him to do. REmember how "darn" HOT it was when you two were doing that deck. Dad still does:) Love you both "all" Mom
