It's ours.

Our house closed yesterday.

Now this was a short sale house and the sellers were really bitter about losing their house.

And I can understand that.

They had moved out a few weeks ago.

Turned everything off(electricity, water, etc) which they aren't supposed to do.

But whatever we just turned everything back on in our name.

Then apparently a week ago they decided to move back in without telling us and we were paying for all our utilities.

Nice.

So imagine my surprise(since Jed was at work) when our relator called us and explained that the sellers don't want to give us our keys and would like a few extra days.

There is more to that story but not worth typing.

Long story short we got the keys.

And they also broke every single outside light, ran over the mail box, fired the gardner(which we were paying for) and cranked up the heater(electric in our name) before they departed.

Nice.

So needless to say we were thrilled when it was officially ALL OVER!

And so was our Relator who was waiting with her camera to capture everything.

Here we are ready to go into OUR house.

Already getting to work. Carrying up the baby gates and dinner. This house is going to give me some good exercise.
The babies were not so happy about this entrapment. They wanted to explore and quickly mastered going up the stairs....coming down not so much.

Here we are infront of our very own home.


The kids were thrilled and we finalized room arrangements and ate dinner at our new table as a family for the first time.

We are simply thrilled and so excited to be done with this whole house buying nonsense and very excited to take up permanete residence in our new home.

It's time to get to work...probably wont be blogging for a little bit :)
