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!
Already got a garden started! Won't be long and you'll be moving in. I hope the colors are what you expected and everything is turning out great with the painting. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny because sometimes I'm working on things at the new house and it hits me...this is ours and we'll be moving in soon! LOL! It's funny how sometimes I have to remind myself this. :)
ReplyDeleteSo far the upstairs bedrooms are painted. Our Master is a rich gray color and the office/2nd bedroom is a really light yellow. I love the way they both turned out. Pictures to come soon! The basement and bedroom in the basement are almost done too. They are all turning out pretty well!
You'll have to come over and see sometime. We will be really close to each other! It is even within walking distance! :)
