Closing Day: June 10, 2010

Closing day for us came and went on June 10, 2010 and it was one of the longest and most exciting days for us both!  That Thursday was a rainy and overcast day that started with the walk-thru at 9am.  After signing all the papers at 10, we had our house by noon and were driving over to walk in for the first time!

I unlocked our front door...

And then we went in for the first time as new home-owners...


What was one of the first things Jason had to do?  Turn on the gas stove, of course! ;)  The "click, click, click" noise when it was turned on was like music to our ears.


We look forward to cooking in our new kitchen and getting back to his blog, Weekly Kitchen Travels. Life has just been too busy to do a lot of cooking between our three homes right now. 

The rest of the day was spent getting things we needed for the house, such as a very important Dehumidifier.  We also picked up a few items so that Jason could start a little garden.  We also started watering our newly hydroseeded yard.   

                                    

That night we also had many visitors.  Our lovely Mothers called each other and devised a plan to make sure we ate that night and brought us pizza and watched as we painted our first wall.  Jason's Dad also came over to check out our house for the first time, and our friends Chuck and Julie were the first ones to ring our doorbell when they stopped by for the first time to see our new house.  It was quite the day!

The plan is to move in the middle of July.  Right now we are working on painting!  There will be more to come on that!  Stay tuned!

Before and After: Our Front Door

Last time you saw a picture of our front door area, it looked like this...


Here's what it looks like today...



And here's us standing at our front door. 


The doors are locked now and everything is finished.  All that's left is to wait 6 days, eleven hours, and some odd minutes until we close on our house!  We're both extremely excited.  I've picked out paint colors.  Bamboo Shoot, Cargo Pants, Shitaki, and Brick Trick are some of the names.  And Jason is eagerly waiting to turn on the gas stove for the first time.  We're almost there!
