Homeowners!

That's right. It's official. We're homeowners! And this, my friends, is the first post from our very own office/study/den/still unamed & very unfurnished room. It's so strange to be sitting here, typing on the floor of what is now OUR house. We've been waiting a long time for this...

We had settlement on Monday, and I don't think it could have gone more smoothly. We were in and out of there in an hour and a half, at most. We've spent the past few days packing, moving, and shopping for all the first time homeowner necessities. By tomorrow, we should be pretty much moved and will actually get to spend the night! Wow. It has all been rather overwhelming. In a good way. I feel very, very blessed... as cliche as that sounds. Our parents have been a tremendous help, more than we ever could have asked for or expected. And I'm so grateful for all that they've done for us, I know not everyone is so fortunate. It makes me emotional to think about it, so I'll stop now before it gets too sappy. I just wanted to say thank you, although those words can hardly express what I feel right now...
